amazing engineering built without a foundation, still a functioning church. Near to the place where they believe to have found Moses as a baby in the Nile.

Entrance courtyard is extremely inviting and holds tons of history concerning the Flight to Egypt of the Holy Family. Church itself is very interesting with beautifully designed interior and inlayed wood doors and walls. Also, areas where you can see through to the covered fort below are quite interesting and unique feature to this particular site...hence the name "hanging church".
Peaceful Place, the inside is amazing I took tons of pictures.My tour guide gave me a great insight about the church, the pictures outdoors in the walls, were beautiful!
A beautiful historic church and a must see. Incredibly preserved with fascinating architecture :) Im glad i got to see it
The church is worth a visit especially as part of old or Coptic Cairo but do not expect some miracle of suspension. The interior of the church is interesting but needs the whole area to be visited to make it worthwhile.
When the guide man talk dont be concentrated on story, you can read about that on web. Feel the place.Live the mind. That place have warm energy for your soul, your inside feelings will be satisfied.
U have to visit this fascinating area of churches including a synagogue !!! Take in st George's church with its chapel off to the right with a interesting chain and neck band to put on for penance ( if u into bondage!!) vbg
Coptic churches are different than other Christian and orthodox churches. It is old, with lot of artifacts and very well maintained. When walking Coptic Cairo, this is the MUST place to visit.
This place is great and when there are just a few people around looking at the church and they allow you to take photos (no flash) Great place to spend half a day
Really interesting little place. Definitely worth a visit even if you're here only for the weekend. Very peaceful ;)
