St. Virgin Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church dates to the 3rd century. Its called hanging because its built over the gatehouse of Babylon Fortress. A portion exposes the elevation of the church . No photos

Awesome I recommend visiting it :)

Beautiful church which is built on two roman towers with no foundation hence the name. Remember to ask the Father if you’re allowed to take any photos

This museum is much bigger than you'd expect with a multitude of exhibitions and mummies - fascinating. Can get really busy but worth the crowds - Phat Buoy
