3) MONASTERY & CHURCH OF ST.GEORGE
One of the few remaining circular churches in the Middel East. The interior is a bit gutted from past fires, but the stained glass windows are bright and colourful.
4) CHURCH OF ST.SERGIUS
This is supposedly one of the places where the Holy Family rested after fleeing from King Herod. This little church, dated from the 10th century, was the most important pilgrimage spot in Old Cairo for visiting Christian tourists.
5) BEN EZRA SYNAGOGUE
This Synagogue is one of the oldest in Egypt. Set in a shady garden, it was built on the site of 4th century Christian church, which the Copts had to sell in the 9th century to enable them to pay taxes to Ibn Tulun for the construction of his mosque. The synagogue, named after a 12th Rabbi of Jerusalem, Abraham ben Ezra, was severely damaged by Arabs after the 1967 war with Israel, but it has been almost completely renovated.
