The Hanging Church
We then went to the Hanging Church, a Coptic Christian place of worship in an old part of the city. "Coptic" means Egyptian, and the Coptic Christians instigated the first major split in Christianity. Most of them have since converted to Islam, but there are small communities around the country.
This was followed by Cairo airport, where we filmed people coming and going, riding escalators, being reflected in chrome and glass. Unfortunately our final location tonight was cancelled, so we finished work pretty early (7pm). All there is to do now is back up today's video clips, pack, then get up tomorrow morning and get a plane back to London. It's a bit of a letdown for the final night of the trip, but there wasn't anything we could do about it.
I'm off to enjoy my final Holiday Inn Cairo dinner buffet. The dessert table will not know what hit it. To finish, here's a couple of photos of Old Cairo I took today. Salaam.
