Overview

Cairo is full of well-known sights, but this private tour brings you to three lesser-known places linked to the city’s Christian community. You’ll visit Garbage City, an area where Coptic trash collectors live and work, see the spot where the Virgin Mary is believed to have appeared, and explore the cave-dug monastery of Simon the Tanner. Along the way, your guide will give in-depth explanations about the history and local traditions connected to each site. The tour includes air-conditioned transportation and admission tickets, and a personal guide will lead your visit so the experience stays focused and informative. You’ll also have front-door pickup and drop-off from any Cairo hotel, and because the tour is private it will be tailored to your interests for a more personalised visit.
