Overview

This private guided tour takes you to the famous Cave Church of St Simon in Cairo and passes by the City of the Dead. As you move through these neighbourhoods, you will see local sites and get a close sense of everyday life and the area’s distinctive architecture. Your guide will point out features of the church and the surrounding quarter, and you may learn about the local context as you pass different landmarks. Please provide a copy of your passport; it must be sent to the local partner no later than two days before the tour. When the route goes through Natural Reserves, follow your guide’s instructions to help protect wildlife and minimise the environmental footprint.
