The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities
Your captivating day tour begins with a pickup from your hotel, whether it's located in Cairo or Giza. Your knowledgeable tour guide will accompany you as you embark on a remarkable journey through Cairo's rich history. The Egyptian Museum: Your first stop is the renowned Egyptian Museum, also known as the Museum of Cairo. This treasure trove houses an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities, with a staggering total of 120,000 items. While you'll get to see a representative selection on display, there's even more stored away in the museum's storerooms. Built-in 1901 by the Italian construction company Garozzo-Zaffarani, following a design by the French architect Marcel Dourgnon, this edifice stands as one of the region's largest museums. As of March 2019, the museum is open to the public, but it's worth noting that a new Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza is set to take its place in 2020.
Coptic Cairo
Next, you'll explore Coptic Cairo, a fascinating part of Old Cairo that encompasses several significant sites. This area includes the Babylon Fortress, the Hanging Church, the Greek Church of St. George, and numerous other Coptic churches and historical landmarks. According to Christian tradition, it's believed that the Holy Family visited this area and stayed at the site of Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church (Abu Serga). Coptic Cairo remained a stronghold for Christianity in Egypt until the Islamic era, and many of the current church buildings were constructed after the Muslim conquest in the 7th century.
Synagogue Ben Ezra
Your journey takes you to the Ben Ezra Synagogue, sometimes referred to as the El-Geniza Synagogue or the Synagogue of the Levantines (al-Shamiyin). Situated in the Fustat part of Old Cairo, this synagogue has a rich history. According to local folklore, it's located on the very site where the infant Moses was found.
