老开罗私人游:伊斯兰开罗、科普特开罗与汗·哈利利
清真寺、教堂、犹太会堂和大市集,乘车加徒步,含午餐。

罗马要塞、悬空教堂和圣家庭避难的地下室。
科普特开罗是罗马巴比伦要塞城墙内的基督教区:建在要塞城门上的悬空教堂、相传圣家庭曾避难于其地下室的圣塞尔吉乌斯与巴克斯教堂、本·埃兹拉犹太会堂和科普特博物馆。参观需一到两小时,是我们开罗一日游和老开罗私人游的一部分。
Babylon was the Roman fort at the head of the Nile delta, and the Copts built their churches inside its walls after the Arab conquest. The Hanging Church takes its name from its nave suspended over the fortress gatehouse; its 110 icons and the marble pulpit on thirteen columns date from the 11th century and later.
The Church of St Sergius and Bacchus stands over a crypt that tradition names as the place where Mary, Joseph and the child Jesus stayed during the flight into Egypt; the Coptic liturgy still marks the visit. The Ben Ezra Synagogue nearby yielded the Geniza, 300,000 medieval documents found in its storeroom in 1896.
The Coptic Museum holds the largest collection of Christian Egyptian art, from Roman-era textiles to the Nag Hammadi gnostic codices. The whole quarter is walkable in an hour and a half and sits on the metro line at Mar Girgis.
最佳时间: 四季皆宜,上午晚些或下午。
