The experience
Overview
Spend two days seeing some of Cairo’s most interesting churches on this tour, which does not include accommodation. Get off the beaten path with a visit to the so-called "Garbage City," Zabbaleen, which gets its name because of the community of garbage collectors who live there. Here you'll visit the Monastery of Saint Simon, inside a cave. On your second day, visit Coptic Cairo highlights such as the Hanging Church.

Garbage City is a part of Cairo not all visitors experience. Winding through the city on our way to Cave Church was interesting & fascinating. I'm sure I've not seen so much bagged garbage in one place! The drive through the city was worth it. Cave Church was inspiring & impressive, with scenes from Scripture carved inside the walls, & ampitheater style seating. I'm glad we didn't miss out on this opportunity.
