7. The Ben Ezra Synagogue is located deep in the winding streets of Coptic Cairo and is the oldest Jewish temple in Cairo from the 9th century AD. Like almost all synagogues in Egypt today, it is simply a tourist attraction after almost all of Egypt's significant Jewish community was abandoned in the 1950s following the founding of Israel and the Free Officers Revolution. However, this site still has great importance in the history of Judaism in this day and age

   1 hAdmission included

8. It might not be the pyramids, but it is an absolute must to get a real feel for the history of Cairo as a city and to honestly see stunning medieval Islamic architecture and art. And not in a stuffy, museum-like setting behind the glass - it's a free pedestrian street with the architecture around you so you don't have to worry about paying money to stare at super curated things that you a) don't understand really and b) are kind of boring. One thing we can promise about Moez Street - it's not boring, that's for sure.

About Hurghada

Hurghada is a Red Sea resort town on Egypt's mainland coast, loved for its coral reefs, warm water, desert excursions and easy beach days.

The town stretches along the shore, from the older district of El Dahar with its souk and fish market to the marina at Sakkala and the resort strip to the south. Offshore, the reefs and islands of the Red Sea teem with colourful fish and coral gardens, and dolphins are sometimes seen, making snorkelling and diving the main draws.
