Copts and the Coptic Museum
Activities: We took a taxi to Coptic Cairo and visited the Coptic Museum, which was filled with fascinating artifacts and was clean, well laid out, and had clear labels and signage in Arabic, English and French
Highlights: I loved all the stained glass and painted ceilings. Our 5.5 year old enjoyed the stained glass and found the textiles beautiful ✨
