Coptic Cairo is a unique area within Old Cairo that features a concentration of Christian churches and other sites dating from the centuries between the decline of the pharaonic religion and the arrival of Islam, during which time Egypt had a Christian majority. Much of Coptic Cairo is built around the Fort of Babylon, using parts of its original wall structure. Here there are also six churches dating back to the Early Christian period. The Hanging Church, or the Church of the Virgin Mary, was constructed in the ninth century to 'hang' precariously over the ramparts of Babylon; however, due to rising ground levels surrounding these walls, much of this hanging effect has been lost. Another notable church is Saint Sergius', which dates back to the fifth century. Further along lies the Ben Ezra Synagogue—the oldest synagogue in Cairo, established in the ninth century at what some believe may have once been the location of King Solomon's temple (or alternatively, according to tradition, the spot where Pharaoh's daughter discovered baby Moses amongst the rushes). Your final destination before returning home will be the citadel - an imposing mediaeval stronghold situated atop steep chalk cliffs overlooking Cairo...

Upon arrival at Alexandria, visit the Catacombs of Kom El Shugafa, the largest Roman burial site in Egypt and the final resting place for 300 individuals, whose tombs are cut into the bedrock in massive tiers, descending 35 meters (115 feet) into the ground. There is even a banquet hall where grieving relatives paid their last respects at a funeral feast. The artisans who built the tombs in the second century combined ancient Egyptian and Greco-Roman motifs in a fascinating style. Next, visit the Roman Amphitheater - the only one of its kind in Egypt - and imagine the crowds of a bygone era cheering at a musical performance or a wrestling match. With room for 800 spectators on white, marble seats, the acoustics are such that if you stand on the stage and whisper, a person in the back row should be able to hear you. Continue the exploration of the marvelous city of Alexandria, with the Fort of Qait Bay, the 15th century Mamluk fort that overlooks the entrance to Alexandria’s eastern harbor.

The next stop on your journey is the historic district known as Coptic Cairo. This distinctive neighborhood within Old Cairo boasts numerous Christian churches and landmarks dating back to the period bridging the end of Pharaonic rule and the rise of Islam, when Christianity held sway as Egypt's dominant faith. Much of modern Coptic Cairo stands atop Fort Babylon, preserving remnants of its original stonework along the way. Here lie six venerable churches tracing their origins to the dawn of Christendom itself. Among them lies the Suspended Church (or "Church of the Virgin Mary"), whose lower level appears suspended above bustling streets below...
