ITINERARY
- Embark on a fascinating adventure to The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, widely known as the Egyptian Museum or Museum of Cairo. This historical marvel, established in 1901 by the Italian construction company Garozzo-Zaffarani and designed by French architect Marcel Dourgnon, houses an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities. With 120,000 items in its inventory, the museum showcases a representative selection, with the rest carefully stored in its storerooms. Explore the grandeur of this cultural treasure for approximately 3 hours. Note that, as of March 2019, the museum is open to the public, and in 2020, it is slated to be succeeded by the new Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza.
- Delve into the historical wonders of Coptic Cairo, an integral part of Old Cairo that encapsulates the Babylon Fortress, the Hanging Church, the Greek Church of St. George, and various other Coptic churches and historical sites. According to Christian tradition, this area hosted the Holy Family during their visit, particularly at the site of Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church (Abu Serga). Coptic Cairo served as a Christian stronghold until the Islamic era, with most of its current buildings dating back to the 7th century after the Muslim conquest of Egypt.
- Visit the Ben Ezra Synagogue, an intriguing religious site in the Fustat area of Old Cairo. Also known as the El-Geniza Synagogue or the Synagogue of the Levantines, it holds historical significance, with local folklore suggesting it is located where baby Moses was found.
- Explore the Hanging Church, officially known as Saint Virgin Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church, one of the oldest churches in Egypt with roots dating back to the third century. Admire its architectural and historical significance during this hour-long visit.
- Conclude your immersive tour with a visit to Khan el-Khalili, a renowned bazaar and souq in Cairo's historic center. This vibrant district is a major attraction for tourists and Egyptians alike, offering an array of traditional crafts and souvenirs. Wrap up your day with a drop-off at your hotel in Cairo or Giza, having experienced the diverse cultural and historical tapestry of this enchanting city.
