Ben Ezra Synagogue

Dates back to the 9th century, but occupies the shell of a 4th century christian church.

Church of St Sergius and St Barbara

The Church of St Sergius owes its reputation to the widely held belief that the Holy Family took shelter in a cave on this spot during their "Flight into Egypt"

Since the church was built, the ground level has risen. You now need to go down a flight of stairs.

The Church of St Barbara

Church of St George

Opposite the Mari Girgis metro station. St George was venerated throughout the Christian Middle East as Mar Girgis.

Coptic Cairo

"Copt" is a corruption of the arabic word for "Egyptian". Coptic Christianity believes only in Christ's divinity.

Alexandria

Alexandria is Egypt's second largest city and was  founded by Alexander the Great. Unfortunately,we were unable to visit  the Graeco-Roman Museum as it was closed for long term repairs. The main attraction here is the Catacombs of Kom ash Shuqqafa

Dating from 2nd century AD it is the largest Graeco-Roman necropolis in Egypt. It is listed as one of the seven Wonders of the Medieval world by LIFE

The Egyptian Museum

This Museum is a must see in Cairo. The highlights of the Museum for me are the Tutankhamun Galleries and the Royal Mummy Room. Unfortunately, no photograhy is allowed.
