Itinerary

1. Cave Church
Your guide will pick you up from your hotel at 10:00 am to start your day tour to visit The Famous Cave Church of St. Simon in Cairo. There are seven cave churches carved into the nearby Moqattam Mountain. The Monastery of St. Simon the Tanner is the largest and has an amphitheater with a seating capacity of 20,000. It is worth a visit if you are interested to see something different in Egypt.
Duration: 120 mins
2. Cairo
Then passing by the Garbage City in Cairo, a slum settlement located to the southeast of Cairo. Its inhabitants are affectionately known as “Garbage People” because they have been sustaining themselves for decades as Cairo’s unofficial sanitation crew. The Garbage People, comprising mostly Coptic Christians, first immigrated to Cairo in the 1930s in search of big-city dreams. Being very poor, and without a solid 401k plan, they got by whatever way they could: living in makeshift housing and recycling the city’s compostable waste products by feeding them to their pigs. Today, Cairo’s Garbage People make ends meet by going door to door to pick up people’s trash for a nominal fee. There, they sort and recycle everything they could, using it for their own manufacturing. Note: you will be passing through Garbage Place without getting off from the car to ensure your safety as this is our main concern.
3. City of the Dead (Northern Cemetery)
Visit The City of the Dead, which is an Islamic necropolis and cemetery below the Mokattam Hills in southeastern Cairo.
Duration: 60 mins
