The Pyramids & Coptic Cairo & Islamic Egypt

On this tour we explore the pyramids. These massive national building projects, commissioned by the pharaohs, were only made possible by the country’s agricultural revolution and administrative framework, and were literally shaped by its religion. Come learn about this era of Egypt, where it was ruled by powerful indigenous pharaohs. Later in the tour, we will venture into the Coptic era, where Christianity came to Egypt on the tongues of traders, sailors, and immigrants speaking of the divinity of Christ and his miracles, and was adopted by the disillusioned citizens of Egypt to rebel against Roman rule. Join us on this tour on a walk through a thousand years of Islamic history and see the lasting impact that the religion had on the traditions and customs of the country.
