What To Expect

Coptic Cairo

A maze of ancient and modern churches and monasteries, set within the walls of the fortress of Babylon founded in 6th century BC and expanded by the Roman Emperor Trajan in AD 98, Coptic Cairo is a fascinating counterpoint to the rest of the city, and holds the beautiful Coptic Museum. You can visit the oldest church, the oldest mosque and the oldest synagogue in Cairo, while nearby is the newly opened (but rather bare of exhibits and still unfinished at the time of research) National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.

St Simon the Tanner Monastery

The Church of St Simeon the Tanner, is carved into a cave on a ridge of Muqattam Hill. Thought to be the biggest church in the Middle East, it seats 17,000 worshippers. But this church is not old, it was built in the 1970s, in a cave thought to have once been home to early Christian hermits, and named after St Simeon, the 10th-century ascetic who prayed to make Muqattam move at the behest of Fatimid caliph Al Muizz Li Din Allah.
