Itinerary
Our Egypt Tailor Made tour guide will escort you in a tour to "Coptic Cairo" where you will visit the "Hanging Church"
You will then proceed to the Saint Sergius and Bacchus Church (Abu Serga), one of the oldest Coptic churches in Egypt. This historic church is traditionally believed to be built on the spot where the Holy Family took shelter during their journey in Egypt, and its crypt is considered a sacred place of pilgrimage.
After that, you will visit the Ben Ezra Synagogue, the oldest Jewish temple in Cairo. It is said to be built on the site where the baby prophet Moses was found in the Nile. The synagogue is famous for its beautiful architecture and its unique history, as it once housed the priceless “Geniza documents,” a treasure of ancient Jewish manuscripts discovered in the 19th century.
After that, you will continue to the Cave Church of Saint Simon the Tanner, an awe-inspiring church carved into Mokattam Mountain, which is the largest in the Middle East. At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel.

About Giza
Giza, on the edge of Cairo, is home to the Great Pyramid, the Sphinx and a desert plateau that has drawn travellers for thousands of years.
The plateau holds three great pyramids, built for the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, along with smaller queens' pyramids and rows of nobles' tombs. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing, and the Great Sphinx keeps watch below, carved from the bedrock beside Khafre's valley temple.
Top-ranked sights in Giza: Sphinx (Great Sphinx of Giza), Giza Pyramids, Great Pyramid of Giza (Khufu Pyramid).
