The Hanging Church (El Muallaqa)
Your first stop is the famous Hanging Church, built over the Roman fortress gate. It's one of the oldest Christian churches in Egypt, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and a symbolic stop in any Coptic Cairo day tour. Its historical and architectural beauty warrants its spot as a top destination among Cairo things to do.
The Monastery and Church of St. George
Even though restored in 1909, this church boasts a 10th-century site. It's one of the last round churches still standing in the Middle East and one of Coptic Cairo's chief attractions, so a cultural Cairo visit is definitely worth your time.

Ben Ezra Synagogue

Ibn Tulun Mosque
Finished in 879 AD by Ahmad Ibn Tulun, this mosque is renowned for its dramatic open courtyard and unique spiral minaret. One of Cairo's largest and most well-conserved Islamic buildings and an essential Cairo itinerary destination.
