It is called the Hanging Church because it was built on the southern gate of the Roman Fortress. Logs of palm trees and layers of stones were constructed above the ruins of the Roman fortress to be used as a fundament. The Hanging Church is a unique church and has a wooden roof in the shape of Noah’s ark. From the 7th century to the 13th century, the Hanging Church served as the residence of the Coptic Patriarch. Al-Moallaqa has witnessed important elections and religious ceremonies.

Amazing tour.
Sara was friendly, patient, and very well organized, making the tour feel relaxed while still incredibly informative. She was always happy to answer questions and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the day. This tour gave us a much deeper understanding of Cairo’s rich religious and cultural heritage. I highly recommend touring with Sara — she truly made the experience memorable.
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot our valued guest for your nice detailed review . We are so glad that you had nice day with us . Hope to see you again with us !

Unforgettable day!
I want to share my trip experience from A to Z. Our operator, Bella, was in touch with us before the trip and offered us the option to customize it ourselves. She also gave us the freedom to arrange the places we wanted to visit. Moreover, I would like to thank our guide, Rasha, for explaining each place so clearly. Special thanks to Ayman, the driver, who took great care of my mom’s wheelchair. He volunteered to be in charge of helping her, which was sweet of him. Thanks a lot!!!
Response from the operator: Thanks alot our valued customer for your nice review . Hope to see you soon !

Disgraceful treatment, multiple lies by pharaouh tours operator!!
The Tour operator tried to charge me extra for visiting a market, I had paid for, tried to leave me back to my hotel at 12.30 before visiting the market (I booked a day tour) they then said I visited a cavern church twice (once it was closed when tried to take me, surely there fault? And wouldn't count?) They actually said it did and should have charged me for taking when it was open, what i state is all truthful and factual, I tried to reason with the tour operator but she continues to lie and not answer basic questions on what they did, the tour guide also tried to lie and say the church couldn't be visited as it wasn't opened, he lied and was open when we went, he admitted he lied, I don't blame him, I play the tour guide for starting all this, if this reviewed is disputed I can easily display the full email conversation were she continues to lie and not answer questions of misinformation and lying.. I explained the driver was using google maps on his phone between his lap, as he was from Alexandria, they don't seem to want to admit this, we got lost numerous times
Response from the operator: First of all , We apologize for any misunderstanding happened today but we want to clarify some facts to make it clear . Our guide picked you up from your hotel 7:45 am and you were dropped back to your hotel by 4 pm not 12:30 pm as you mentioned . So you spent the whole duration as mentioned in the tour. We have checked the route of your vehicle today and we found that you visited extra sightseeings not mentioned in the itinerary like Citadel of Muhammed Ali , Kasr El Nile Road & Tahrir Square ( because you asked the guide for this and he didn't refuse your request and didn't ask you for extra fees for all these 3 places which are already extra places and you should have paid for this but we didn't ask you for extra fees as we always fulfill our customers needs & requests.) In addition to this you visited all the mentioned sightseeings in the itinerary and concerning Cave Church , you went to this places 2 times today and we didn't refuse , as in the first time when you went , it was closed due to prayers so after visiting the other sightseeings , you asked to go to the Cave Church again and we didn't refuse and you have gone there again . So you have visited all the mentioned sites in addition to extra places not mentioned in the itinerary without any extra fees and you spend the whole duration mentioned also . Lastly , we apologize again for you .

Great day
Thanks to the incredible team that organised it. We would like to express our gratitude to George, the operator, for his excellent pre-tour communications. Bravo also to our amazing guide, Rasha. She went above and beyond to help, anticipate our needs, and even wait for us at the hotel with a warm smile, in addition to her perceptive explanations of Cairo's rich history. Her professionalism and friendliness really made the experience better.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Day Tour Visiting Coptic and Islamic Cairo.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Private Day Tour Visiting Coptic and Islamic Cairo. cost?
+
Prices start at $31 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Giza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Day Tour Visiting Coptic and Islamic Cairo. take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Giza is not rushed.
Is Private Day Tour Visiting Coptic and Islamic Cairo. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Tour Visiting Coptic and Islamic Cairo.?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Day Tour Visiting Coptic and Islamic Cairo. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Tour Visiting Coptic and Islamic Cairo.?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Giza can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Giza and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Tour Visiting Coptic and Islamic Cairo. start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Giza within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Giza?
+
On Outty we rank every Giza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Giza?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Giza?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Not included: Gratuities; Cairo Citadel Fees; and If french , spanish , german & italian guide , there will be extra 10 USD per person. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
