"VISIT TO THE COPTO NEIGHBORHOOD" TOUR.
CAIRO, Cairo Governorate
Overview
"VISIT TO THE COPTO NEIGHBORHOOD" TOUR.
The Qasr al-Sham neighborhood is known as the Coptic Quarter of Cairo, to recognize that it is the place where the Christian Egyptians of Cairo live. Although "Coptic" originally referred to all the inhabitants of Egypt, when they were conquered by the Arabs, the term began to be used to refer to the Christian Egyptians who came to live, mostly, in the Qasr al-Sham neighborhood. This area of Cairo has a historical character, since according to the New Testament, this area is where the family of Jesus lived, in their exile fleeing from Herod's persecution. In the cave where it is said that they lived at this time the Church of San Sergio y San Baco was built.
