Coptic Cairo, Egypt

In the few remaining hours left in Egypt we decided to quickly visit Coptic Cairo, which forms part of Old Cairo. We visited the large Church of St. George and Hanging Church.

When leaving we picked up some Keys of Life (Ankh) a medium and small one for 5 EGP for souvenirs. Its shape is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic character meaning eternal life.
