Religious Cairo Tours

 

Cairo apart from being famously known as the capital of Egypt and home of the famous Giza Pyramids is also known as a melting pot of many cultures and religions. It has been for a long time a center of both cultural and religious developments in the whole of Egypt.


The predominant religion in Cairo is Islam, with Christians making up about 10% of the population. And because of this Cairo is home to both amazing architectural places of worship for both the Islam and the Christian faith. Both big and small mosques are found all over the city as well as many Coptic and historical churches for the Christians.
