Beschrijving
Discover The Old Cairo, known as Christian Coptic Cairo which is among the most important locations visited by the Holy Family and where the then Governor of Fustat, enraged by the breaking of idols at Jesus’ approach sought to kill the Child. The family took shelter in a cave above where, in later years, the Church of Abu Serga (St Sergius) was built. Also visit the Church of Abu-Sergah and St. Barbara, the hanging church, with the Coptic Museum and the old Jewish Ben Ezra Synagogue.
After lunch break at a local restaurant, continue to the Islamic Cairo that was founded in 641 AD by the First Muslim leader Amr ibn Elas and visit his mosque. Afterwards, visit El Sultan Hassan Mosque that also known as 'Madrasa El Sultan Hassan' that was founded by Sultan Hassan in 1356 AD. Lastly, visit the Al-Rifa’i Mosque, opposite the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, which dates from around 1361 and that has the mausoleum of the Egypt Royal Family as well as last Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi.
