Itinerary

The Coptic Museum

1 h 30 min Admission included

Most people don't know much about the Coptic history and culture.

The Coptic Museum in Cairo is a unique place in Egypt that preserves priceless artifacts from Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Christian Civilizations. It's the only museum of its kind in an Arab country and it has over 19000 pieces on display!

If you're planning to visit Egypt or if you want to learn more about this part of the world's history then we highly recommend visiting this museum! There are tons of interesting facts here waiting for you!
Coptic Cairo

1 h 30 min Admission included

Visiting the Coptic Cairo is a great way to spend an afternoon in Egypt, but it can be hard to decide what order to visit these three important churches.

We've created this product because we were frustrated by the lack of good information on how to tour Coptic Cairo. There are so many options for things you could do before or after visiting these sites that it's hard to know where you should go first!

Our simple step-by-step guide will help you make the most of your time while avoiding any confusion about which place is best visited at what time so you will visit Hanging Church, Church of Abu Serga and Jewish Synagogue of Ben Ezra. We have even included some tips on nearby restaurants and cafes along with their menus so that you don't waste your precious vacation days hunting down food!
