دير القديس سمعان مع كنيسة الكهف ومدينة الزبالين — جولة خاصة

The driver is very responsive and friendly. The drive to Garbage city is very difficult but the driver Omar did a very good job.

The guide Bisho was very knowledgeable and good on this tour about the church and the history of the religious area and life! He gave us a lot of information and we enjoyed this tour. He also took pictures during the tour. We didn’t see much of garbage city or learn too much about it.

This is a great tour to see another aspect of Cairo. The tour included a visit to Garbage City and St Simon Monastery. I was particularly taken with Garbage City where Cairo’s trash is processed. This may sound boring but it was anything but! St Simon monastery is a church built into the cliffside and is a huge cave church. I was picked up at my Airbnb by Karam, a very skillful driver who also provided great information. I highly recommend this tour.
