What travelers say:

1. Located in the northeast of downtown Cairo, it can be reached by multiple bus and subway; 2. The church is the largest cathedral in Africa, and the exterior and interior are designed and built according to the highest Orthodox church standards; The Coptic Orthodox Church is an Egyptian-based Orthodox Church whose religious leader is called the “Grand Patriarch of Alexandria” and honored St. Mark as the first Grand Patriarch, and now St. Mark’s tomb is at the back of the church. 4.2016 On December 11, the church was attacked by IS, killing 24 people and injuring 49 people (tomorrow is the second anniversary of the anniversary), and the interior of the church is still under renovation and not fully open. If you want to visit, you need to go through layers of security checks and cross-examination. In theory, non-Christians are prohibited from entering.
