Overview

On this private tour of Cairo's Coptic heritage, you will explore some of the city's lesser-known sites. You’ll visit the cave-dug monastery of Simon the Tanner, move through the district often called Garbage City, and learn the history behind the site where the Virgin Mary is believed to have appeared. As you move through these places, your guide will explain their cultural and historical significance and the local traditions connected to them. The experience includes air-conditioned transport, admission tickets and the commentary of your own expert guide, so you can ask questions and follow your interests. It’s a personalised, off-the-beaten-path option for travellers who want to deepen their understanding of Cairo’s Coptic roots and everyday life beyond the usual tourist routes.
