This tour includes a visit to the Monastery of Saint Simon (the Cave Church) in Cairo. To reach the site, we must drive through an area commonly known as Garbage City. This area can be very busy, visually challenging, and not very clean, and there may be unpleasant odors at times. We believe in being fully transparent with our guests, so please consider this carefully before booking. If you feel uncomfortable passing through such areas, this tour may not be suitable for you. Alternatively, you may choose to skip the Cave Church visit. Please make sure you are aware of this information before confirming your booking.
Important Note: Please be aware that if you book the tour on a Friday during prayer times, there is a high chance that the mosque included in the program will not be accessible for a visit.
