Explore Coptic Cairo: A Journey to the Abu Serga Church

Discover the spiritual heart of Old Cairo, an area known as Christian Coptic Cairo. This historic district holds deep significance, believed to be a sanctuary for the Holy Family during their flight to Egypt. According to tradition, they sought refuge in a cave, a sacred spot where the Abu Serga Church Old Cairo (Church of St. Sergius) was later built. Stepping inside this ancient church is like walking through a living history book, with its stunning architecture and rich spiritual heritage.

A visit to this area is a truly immersive experience. You’ll not only explore the Abu Serga Church Old Cairo but also other remarkable landmarks.

After exploring the Christian quarter, we will journey into the captivating world of Islamic Cairo. Founded in 641 AD by Amr ibn Elas, this part of the city is a treasure trove of architectural wonders. We’ll begin by visiting his historic mosque, a foundational structure of the city.
