The experience
Coptic Cairo: a Half Day in Old Cairo
Old Cairo holds some of the deepest layers of the city’s history. The Hanging Church, built above a gatehouse of the Roman Babylon Fortress, is known for its icons and carved wooden interior.
From there, the visit continues through the historic lanes and nearby heritage sites. It fits neatly into a morning or an afternoon, and pairs well with a museum visit.
