This visit is crucial because you will learn about Egypt's glorious past. You will study both Islamic and other Coptic historical periods.
You will go to the Ahmed Ibn Tulun Mosque, which is Cairo's oldest still-standing and operational Islamic structure. Due to its prominence in the Islamic world, it also exists as a unique example of the time and architecture of the classical phase of Islam, or the ninth and tenth centuries.
Next, head to the Sultan Hassan Mosque, which is regarded as Cairo's most aesthetically cohesive and compact structure. The structure was built in 1256 AD as a mosque and theological school for all sects for Sultan Hassan bin Mohammad bin Qala'oun.
After that, you'll go to El Refa'i Mosque, which is situated across a pedestrian street from Sultan Hassan Mosque. Have lunch at one of the eateries around here.
After that, you'll begin your Coptic Tour with the Hanging Church (also known as the Church of the Virgin Mary), which was incorporated into the Roman fortress's Water Gate walls. Given that it was built somewhere in the fourth century, it may be the oldest Christian church in Egypt.
After that, you'll go to the Church of St. Sergius (Abu Serga), which, according to history, is situated on top of one of the places where the Holy Family slept while fleeing from Herod.
This road leads to Egypt's oldest synagogue, the Ben Ezra Synagogue, first.
