Discovery of the religious history of Cairo

Roman_R, Apr 2024
Paula our guide picked us up at the hotel lobby. After that we started a perfect tour through the old and historical churches and mosques in Cairo. First we visited the Muhammad Ali Mosque, where we had a nice introduction into the history. Then we continued to the Greek Orthodox and Coptic Church and the Ezra Synagogue in the old town of Cairo. The trip was very interesting and Paula explained a lot, especially how the Churches we founded and how the different religions work together. A different view. We truly recommend this tour to anybody, who's interested learning more about the lively past.
