Hanging Church (Saint Virgin Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church)

Cairo · Egypt

Built atop the gatehouse of a Roman fortress, this fifth-century church is one of the most beautiful and historically significant in Africa, with ornate wooden screens, ancient icons, and a story kids can engage with easily. The entire site is compact and walkable and pairs naturally with the nearby Coptic Museum.
