Cave church Garbage City and Coptic Cairo Hanging Church

Overview

You will visit the Monastery of Saint Simon, also known as the Cave Church of Zabbaleen, set into the slopes of Mokattam Mountain. The church’s location and surroundings offer a striking contrast to the rest of the city and provide a strong sense of place. Along the short drive to the monastery you’ll pass through the so‑called “Garbage City,” an area where a large population of garbage collectors — the Zabbaleen — live and work. As you move on, the experience continues in Coptic Cairo, where you’ll see the Hanging Church and the Abe Serga church. The visit brings together these distinctive neighbourhoods and landmarks, and will finish with a return to your hotel.
