Cave Church, and The City of the Dead In Cairo
A trusted partner experience, hand-picked and featured on This is Egypt.
Overview
Experiencing the real Cairo–the one behind the tourist landmarks–can be daunting independently. This private half-day tour delivers: showcasing three sometimes-neglected sights: the Cave Church, also dubbed the St. Simon Monastery; Garbage City–a district of trash collectors–and the City of the Dead, where Islamic-era cemeteries co-exist with inhabited houses. Visit the stunning rock-cut church and pause outside the other neighborhoods as your driver-guide explains their stories, providing compelling perspective and insight that most tourists miss.

Le guide soit disant qualifié ne connaissait pas les sites. Il a demandé sur place où étaient les églises. Il ne nous a donné aucune explication et.... il a refusé de nous faire faire la visite de la cité des morts soit disant dangereuse. Notre excursion prév 6 h en a duré 4 et nous n'avons pas prestation achetée. Agence à fuir.
