Overview
Step into the spiritual heart of Cairo, where Christianity and Islam coexist across
stone, silence, and stories.
This LokalWalkers journey guides you through Coptic Cairo, where Egypt’s
earliest Christians carved sanctuaries into ancient Roman walls, and into Islamic
Cairo, where empires built sky-piercing minarets and domes of devotion. Along
the way, you’ll visit some of the city’s most sacred places — from the Hanging
Church of the Virgin Mary to the Mosque of Mohamed Ali inside the mighty
Citadel of Saladin.
The day ends at the vibrant, historic Khan el Khalili Bazaar, where merchants
have traded stories and spices for over 600 years.
This is a soulful experience across two civilizations, perfect for travelers
seeking depth, meaning, and a sense of place that transcends time.
