Constructed in the 8th century on the site of the ancient Church of St
Michael within the Coptic Christian enclave, the Ben Ezra Synagogue is one of Egypt’s oldest Jewish temples
It was once destroyed by Roman forces and later rebuilt by Abraham Ben Ezra, hence its name
The exterior of the synagogue is quite plain, creating a stark contrast to the ornate and delicate decorations found within
It is open to visitors year-round from 09:00 to 16:00
