Day Tour to Old Cairo – Visit Ben Ezra Synagogue

At your requested time, you will be picked up from your hotel by an Emo Tours guide to start your half-day tour of Old Cairo, also known as Coptic Cairo. This area holds significant spiritual value, as it is believed to have been visited by the Holy Family. Though their stay was brief, their presence left a lasting impact, especially after the Governor of Fustat, angered by the tumbling of idols at Jesus’ approach, sought to harm the child. The Holy Family took shelter in a cave, above which the Church of Abu Serga (St. Sergius) was later built. This area, including the Fort of Babylon, has become a pilgrimage site not only for Egyptians but for Christians worldwide. The district exudes an air of devotion and sanctity.

During your visit to Old Cairo, you will explore the Church of Abu Serga and St. Barbara, the Hanging Church, and the historic Ben Ezra Synagogue.

Note: Visits begin at 9 AM.

The tour will conclude with a drop-off at your hotel in Cairo.
