• Cave Church - Our guide will pick you up from your hotel at 10:00 am to start your day tour visiting the famous Cave Church of St. Simon in Cairo. There are seven cave churches carved into the nearby Moqattam Mountain. The Monastery of St. Simon the Tanner is the largest and features an amphitheater with a seating capacity of 20,000. It is worth a visit if you are interested in seeing something unique in Egypt.
• Manshiyat Naser - Then, we will pass by the Garbage City in Cairo, located in a very local neighborhood called Manshiyat Naser, or “Garbage City in Cairo” as it is better known. This slum settlement is located to the southeast of Cairo. Its inhabitants are affectionately known as “Garbage People” because they have sustained themselves for decades as Cairo’s unofficial sanitation crew.

The Garbage People, mostly Coptic Christians, first immigrated to Cairo in the 1930s in search of big city dreams and land. Being very poor and without a solid financial plan, they survived by living in makeshift housing and recycling the city’s compostable waste products by feeding it to their pigs.

• Cairo - Lunch at a local restaurant.
• Mokattam Hills - Today, Cairo’s Garbage People make ends meet by going door to door to pick up people’s trash for a nominal fee, which is then brought back to their Garbage City neighborhoods. There, they sort and recycle everything they can, using it for their own manufacturing.

Note: You will pass through Garbage City without getting out of the car as the area is almost full of garbage with a very bad smell that can cause diseases. This is why we created a passing-through trip because customer safety is our main concern.

Then, we will pass by The City of the Dead, an Islamic necropolis and cemetery below the Mokattam Hills in southeastern Cairo.
