Start in Coptic Cairo, home to some of the oldest Christian churches in Egypt, including the Hanging Church, built over a Roman gate. Walk through narrow alleys to Abu Serga Church, said to be where the Holy Family stayed, and visit the Ben Ezra Synagogue, a symbol of Egypt’s Jewish heritage. Continue to Islamic Cairo, a UNESCO-listed area filled with historic mosques and fortifications. Visit the Citadel of Saladin, a medieval Islamic fortification, and explore the grand Mosque of Muhammad Ali, a stunning example of Ottoman design with a breathtaking view of the city skyline. See the imposing Mosque of Sultan Hassan, one of the largest in the world, and the neighboring Al-Rifa’i Mosque.
