The Hanging Church
Visit the Hanging Church (Suspended Church), uniquely located on the southern gate of the Roman Fortress. Notable for its roof shaped like Noah’s Ark, this church served as the residence of the Coptic Patriarch from the 7th to the 13th centuries.
Ben Ezra Synagogue
Explore the Ben Ezra Synagogue, dating back to the 9th century. This site, built on the remains of a 4th-century Christian church, is historically significant as it is where the prophet Jeremiah gathered the Jewish community after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple. It was restored in the 12th century and offers insights into the North African Jewish community from the 11th to the 13th centuries.

Abu Serga Church
Visit Abu Serga Church, believed to be built at the location where the Holy Family—Mary, Joseph, and Jesus—rested during their journey to Egypt. This church holds great historical significance and has been a site for many Coptic patriarchs.
Virgin Mary Church
Discover the Virgin Mary Church in Haret Zuweila, considered the oldest Coptic church in the area.
