If you are seeking for a different concept of touring and looking for a very distinctive tour, hurry up and book this tour with us. The Cave church, totally cut in the bedrock of the Moqattam Hills and Garbage City which gives access to the Church.
EgyTopia Egyptologist will meet you at your hotel to start your day to this special part of the city of Cairo. First, while approaching the Hills of Moqattam and overlooking the Citadel of Saladin, you will be astonished by the piles of garbage collected from the different districts in Cairo. There, it is a whole class of society working on collecting, preparing and recycling the garbage. Nearby, many pigs' farms were established feeding their pigs on the collected garbage. The workers used to collect the garbage based on Door to Door service by collecting the garbage from every apartment and then start the process of separation to be ready for recycling. The garbage City gives us access to the 7 rock-cut Churches, the church of St. Simon the Tanner is the biggest one among them. It has a very unique amphitheater design with a seating area of around 20,000 people. Note: While passing through the garbage city, the bad smell of the garbage will even penetrate the car, so if you suffer from any chest diseases, please keep us informed.
