Called Al-Muallaqah (the Suspended) in Arabic, this church takes its name from its location suspended above a city gate. Entered from the side via a newly-built staircase, it is worth visiting because it is one of the oldest still-functioning Coptic churches in Egypt. Its origin is uncertain, but it may date back to the 4th century AD. Its darkened nave contains many religious icons and relics, including a 10th century icon of Virgin Mary and Jesus. Coptic Mass is held on Fridays from 8am-11am, and on Sundays from 7am-10am. This is one of the few places where you can hear mass in the ancient liturgical Coptic language. Free volunteer guides are available.
