Itinerary
Our guide will meet you in the hotel lobby and then you will be transferred to the Hanging Church The importance of this church may be because it was the first papal headquarters in Cairo, where the sixteenth patriarch ‘Chrestodles’ used it in the seventh century in an unofficial capacity and this continued until the thirteenth century, then the papal headquarters moved to the Roe Church in the Rum neighbourhood, then the Church of the Virgin in Zuwayla neighborhood, and finally the current headquarters of the Markan Patriarchate in Abbasiya.
You will then have the opportunity to visit St Barbara, where the facades of this church are built of both stone and brick. It is a high rectangular building 26 meters long, 14.5 meters wide, and about 15 meters high. Its ancient Orthodox architecture consisted of a nave, two wings topped by a women's balcony, and three naves
You will visit the Ben Ezra Synagogue, whose architectural layout is similar to churches, the reason for this is that it was originally a church that was converted into a synagogue, it is rectangular in area with facades devoid of decorations, while the interior follows the Basilican style where it is divided by two portals into three parallel corridors, the middle of which is the widest, and in the middle corridor there are two platforms, the first known as the Atlas of the Miracle, and the second is the prayer platform (Bima). You will eventually get back to your hotel.
