The tour guide said that 800 years ago, the Jewish rich changed the Christian church to a synagogue. The lease was 100 years old. It was divided into the upper and lower floors. The upper floor was for women to pray for a rally. The lower floor was for men. No photos were allowed on the scene. It was very arrogant. No wonder the Jews were complaining. The scale was small and the furnishings were unsurprising.

    One of the most beautiful ancient synagogues in the world. Understand the situation of Judaism in Egypt. No longer open for prayer or worship. Just as a tourist attraction. Well restored architecture. But not enough information on history and building functions. Pity: No photos allowed!

    The Bamiyazra synagogue is a very famous church in Cairo, and on both sides of the aisle of the church, the walls are covered with pictures of many dignitaries and religious figures, which appear very formal. The church is very strict in management, and photographs are prohibited inside, and everyone can only take pictures on the periphery.

    Banezra synagogue, the oldest Synagogue in Egypt. The appearance of the synagogue is very simple, in sharp contrast to the interior, which has gorgeous and delicate decoration. It's just not allowed to take pictures inside. Look at the outside and the local people.

    This synagogue has been renovated in recent years. It is the most important and historic Synagogue in Germany. Baroque style, pointed Gothic style; what we call churches are also named walls decorated with Arabic style arches and plant patterns, and some vague Hebrew words remind people that this is actually a synagogue. It is also a landscape of cultural integration.

    The Jewish Church is located in the old district of Cairo. Before you go in, you need a security check. Then you sit on the benches on both sides and listen to the guide's introduction. No photography is allowed in the church, but the tour guide knows well the photographic skills of the Chinese people. When there are no staff members, he asks everyone to take a few pictures quickly. Finally, he just remembers to take pictures. The tour guide did not listen to a word he said.

    There are three synagogues in Cairo, of which the Banyazra synagogue is the largest. The walls of its propaganda room are covered with black and white photographs of some local politicians or famous religious figures. Through the propaganda room came to the church interior, but the church is strictly prohibited to take photos, so did not leave photos, it is a pity.
