Coptic Cairo & Cave Church of St. Simon Private Tour

Sun Pyramids Tours guide will pick you up at 9:00 AM from your Hotel to visit Old Cairo, known as Christian Coptic Cairo, which is among the most important locations visited by the Holy Family where the spiritual impact of their presence is most felt. Though their stay was brief, the Governor of what was then Fustat, enraged by the tumbling down of idols at Jesus’ approach, sought to kill the Child. They took shelter from his wrath in a cave above which, in later years, the Church of Abu Serga (St Sergious) was built. This, and the whole area of the Fort of Babylon, is a destination of pilgrimage not only for Egyptians but for Christians from around the world. An air of piety and devotion pervades the whole district. You will be able to visit and enter the Church of Abu-Sergah and St. Barbara, the Hanging Church, and then visit the Famous Cave Church of St. Simon in Cairo.
