Professional Review for Ben Ezra Synagogue

This is Egypt's oldest remaining synagogue, built on the ruins of another older synagogue thought to have been founded in the fifth century BC. It was later converted into a Coptic church, but in 1115, Rabbi Abraham ben Ezra, with the consent of the Coptic patriarch, restored the land and rebuilt the synagogue, which has since been impeccably restored. Daily 9 am-5 pm. Free. Behind the Coptic Museum (Old Cairo), Cairo.
