    Ben Ezra Synagogue – A place where history, culture and religion meet

    In the middle of the historic Coptic Quarter of Old Cairo is the Ben Ezra Synagogue – one of the most important Jewish buildings in Egypt. It impresses not only with its elegant architecture, but also with its extraordinary history.

    The synagogue became famous for the “Cairo Geniza”, a unique collection of medieval manuscripts and documents that provides valuable insights into the religious, economic and social life of the Middle Ages.

    Today, the Ben Ezra Synagogue is a symbol of the centuries of peaceful coexistence of religions in Egypt. During your visit you will discover a fascinating monument that combines history, faith and culture in an impressive way.

    A highlight of any discovery tour through the historic Old Cairo.
