The Hanging Church in Cairo

I've been to many countries and seen many churches, but this is the first time I've seen a hanging church. It would be a pity not to see the Hanging Church when you come to Cairo. The church is not big, but it is very distinctive, not only because of the architectural features of the hanging, but also the whole religious color is different from the traditional Catholic and Christian churches. I recommend everyone to visit in person.
