About this asset
The interior of the Ben Ezra Synagogue (Kanees Ben Ezra) located in the Mar Girgis (Coptic Cairo) district of Old Cairo, Egypt. The image captures the central marble bimah with its double staircase, ornately carved wooden upper gallery with mashrabiya-style balustrades, and richly decorated walls featuring geometric inlaid panels typical of Fatimid-era craftsmanship. Ben Ezra is one of the oldest synagogues in Egypt, reportedly built on the site where the infant Moses was found, and is significant as a site of Jewish heritage within the historic religious quarter shared by churches, mosques, and synagogues in Old Cairo.
