At 9:00 AM, the guide from Pharaohs Land Tours will gather you from your hotel for an excursion to historical Old Cairo, also referred to as Christian Coptic Cairo. This site is famed for its connection to the Holy Family, whose short visit left an enduring spiritual mark, particularly because the governor at the time, ruling over Fustat, sought to destroy the child Jesus as His mere presence caused idols to crumble. In their quest for refuge, the Holy Family found solace in a cave, atop which the Church of Abu Serga (St Sergious) was later constructed. After enjoying lunch, the tour progresses to one of the oldest thoroughfares in Egypt, El Moez Le Din Allah Street. This street stands as a testament to Cairo’s historic era with a multitude of landmarks on either side, including Bab El Fetouh and Bab El Nasr. Subsequently, the tour heads north to El Darb El Asfar, the oldest section of Islamic Cairo, adorned with monuments like the Barqouq mosque.
