This photo, and the following three, show the Church of Saint George in an area of the city called Coptic Cairo. We visited this area recently with out-of-country friends Rob, Laura, Eric, and Charlotte, who were in Egypt for 10 whole days! While in Coptic Cairo we also saw the famous Hanging Church and got a glimpse inside the stunningly beautiful Ben Ezra Synagogue--a building which now, sadly, is unused, except by tourists.
