Ben Ezra Synagogue – A place where history, culture and religion meet In the middle of the historic Coptic Quarter of Old Cairo is the Ben Ezra Synagogue – one of the most important Jewish buildings in Egypt. It impresses not only with its elegant architecture, but also with its extraordinary history. The synagogue became famous for the “Cairo Geniza”, a unique collection of medieval manuscripts and documents that provides valuable insights into the religious, economic and social life of the Middle Ages. Today, the Ben Ezra Synagogue is a symbol of the centuries of peaceful coexistence of religions in Egypt. During your visit you will discover a fascinating monument that combines history, faith and culture in an impressive way. A highlight of any discovery tour through the historic Old Cairo.

About Cairo
Cairo is Egypt's sprawling capital on the Nile, where the Pyramids of Giza meet medieval mosques, busy bazaars and the treasures of the pharaohs.
On the western edge of the city, the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx rise from the desert plateau, with the step pyramid of Saqqara and the ruins of Memphis further south. Cairo's great museums, the Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square and the vast Grand Egyptian Museum beside the plateau, hold artefacts spanning thousands of years.
Top-ranked sights in Cairo: Egyptian Museum (Museum of Egyptian Antiquities), Saqqara (Sakkara), Khan El-Khalili.
