From there, you'll go to Zeitoun to visit St. Mary's church, followed by Old Cairo to see the cave at St. Sergius Church where the Family stayed. Stop at St. Mary's monastery in Maadi on the Nile River, the point where they began their journey south. You'll take a felucca ride on the Nile before heading back to your hotel.
After breakfast, travel to Alexandria to visit St. Mark Cathedral and other Coptic churches. The rest of your time there is free for walking around and checking out whatever interests you before returning to your hotel.
