Overview

On a private tour of Coptic Cairo you’ll visit El Mokattam Mountain Cave Church, also known as the Monastery of St Simon, and explore several of the area’s most important Christian sites. The experience centres on the city’s historic churches, offering a clear view of the religious heritage that shapes this part of Cairo. You’ll see the Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church, the Church of Saint Barbara and the Hanging Church as you move through the neighbourhood.
