Old Cairo churches
Then you’ll head to the vibrant streets of Old Cairo to visit its iconic churches in the accompany of your private tour guide.

The most famous church in Old Cairo is the hanging church of the Virgin Mary. It has a prominent appearance because it was constructed on the towers of the Roman fortress of Babylon.

The next attraction to see in Old Cairo is the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, which is known by locals as “the church of Abu Serga”, its unique religious significance emerged from the belief that it was constructed over one of the crypts where the holy family once stayed. This crypt still exists and can be visited during the tour.

We’ll continue our Old Cairo tour at the Ben Ezra Synagogue, the most significant Jewish monument in the city.
Lunch on the Nile
In the middle of our day tour, we’ll stop to relax and recharge with a delightful lunch at a magical floating restaurant overlooking the Nile of Cairo.

The restaurant offers various dishes from Egyptian cuisine that meet all preferences, like grilled chicken, Egyptian Kofta, rice, delicious vegetables, and salads
