Moores do Coptic Cairo Today we went to the oldest part of Cairo. It is also the Coptic Christain quarter within the presincts of the 3rd Century Roman sector. We took the Metro train 4 stops and then explored the Hanging Church (suspended between two Roman towers)......and the Church of St. Sergius (where it is believed that the Holy family lived in a cave under the present day church during their stay in Egypt). We had a kind of treasure hunt with a check list to find certain things, like a star made of wood and St. George killing the dragon. And we got cool souvenirs.
