After the Mosque, Madrasa, and Khanqa of Sultan Barquq and the Red Monastery, today we take you on a virtual tour through Ben Ezra Synagogue in Mare Girgis street in the Religious Compound of Old Cairo. It was originally a Coptic Orthodox church known as the al-Shamma’in Church, which was sold in 882 AD to the Jewish community. It is said that Ben Ezra Synagogue marks the site upon which Moses prayed for the plague that afflicted the ancient Egyptians to be lifted.
