Overview

On this private tour you will explore the Monastery of St Simon, also known as the El Mokattam Mountain Cave Church, and the major churches of Coptic Cairo. As you move through the area, you will visit the Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church, the Church of Saint Barbara and the Hanging Church. Along the way you will get a glimpse of ‘garbage city’, a fascinating Cairo neighbourhood that most visitors overlook, which adds a different perspective to the visit beyond the usual sightseeing. The tour is private, so you will receive personalised service. Entrance fees are included, so there are no extra charges for the sites listed. You will travel in a private vehicle for comfort and security, and convenient pickup and drop-off at Cairo hotels are provided.
