The Copts are orthodox Egyptian Christians. They were evangelized by the apostle St. Mark in the first century and currently represent about 10 percent of Egypt's predominately Muslim population. The Coptic Museum, founded in 1908, celebrates the culture and long history of this important religious minority. Some 15,000 artifacts are housed here, including priceless works of art dating to the very beginning of the Christian religion. In Coptic art you can see modern Christian iconography emerging from the old religions of Egypt, Greece and Rome. A wonderful collection!

    A very important part of Cairo's history. Shows the history of Christianity and its development in Egypt and the world. There are numerous exhibitions including the oldest Psalms (dating back to the 4th century). Love the place. Much to learn. Good environment. Very well maintained and organized museum. Worth a visit.

    This museum is relatively large and a very unique place in Cairo, because there is a small Christian population in Cairo now, but it is interesting to learn about the history here. The collection has very detailed annotations, simple descriptions of items in place, very good and afraid.

    The Coptic Museum is located in the old city of Cairo. It closes at five o'clock. When you go, you must pay attention to the time. Don't go late. Tickets are 60. Students can get a discount on these. Personally, if you like Egyptian culture and history, you can go and sit down, and you may have unexpected gains.

    It's great to go to the Coptic Museum. It's just not possible to take pictures. I'm sorry. Small as it is, it is very important in Egyptian history. Children's shoes for self-service tours in Cairo should be visited, and travel agencies should also take you to see them. It actually includes Jesus Egypt from B.C. to the seventh century before the arrival of Islam, and the culture of that era still amazes you.
