    There are hundreds of hidden treasures in Cairo that tourists never know about. Among these, there is the magnificent Cave Church in the Mokattam Mountain. In fact, this was never a church. It is the Monastery of St Simon or the Tanner Monastery. It is actually a large Egyptian Coptic complex that include six churches; the largest among them is the Saint Simon that is considered the largest church in Egypt that would accommodate around 20,000 people.

Great guide and great experience. Eslam's English was excellent and he had a great knowledge of not just this tour but Cairo/Egypt generally.

Hosni was a great and knowledgeable tour guide. He provided a great deal of information throughout the entire tour. We went through garbage city and got to see two cave churches, truly unique and inspiring as he shared the story of St. Simon and more. I will say this tour is a bit pricey compared to others ($60) that have entrance fees to places, whereas both churches, you’re able to somewhat walk in, but regardless, having a tour guide like Hosni makes it well worth it. Garbage city was a town i was really looking forward to seeing. Up close you can see how well organized the place is, and at the same time gain a different perspective when recycling and discarding any item in your home country. Overall I enjoyed the experience and was treated to a nice lunch and extra time to sight see.
