This area is the original home of the Coptic Christians, one of the world's oldest Christian denominations. Here, visit the Hanging Church, that was built in the 7th century. Admire the courtyard and interior with its elaborate wooden screen, marble pulpit, and icons.
Proceed to Abu Serga, a 5th century Coptic church and hear how the church was built over the site of a cave, believed to have sheltered the Holy Family during their flight into Egypt. Then, tour the Church of St. George, a Greek Orthodox church built atop the north tower of the old Roman fortress of Babylon.
Tonight, bid farewell to your Tour Manager during dinner at the hotel.
