Overview of your Cairo tour:

On this tour, we will visit the Civilization Museum, where there are 20 royal mummies with the second oldest skeleton on earth, with 35000 years old. Also, we will visit one of the sites where the holy Family (virgin Mary, Jesus Christ and Joseph the carpenter) stayed in. This cave is a truly sacred place due to the holy family being very special for both christians and muslims. Another one of the very unique sites we'll visit is the Monastery of Sant Simon, one of the largest Christian churches in the middle east. Sant Simon monastery is located in the garbage village which could be smelly but so special as you can see how the sort out the trash and sell them to factories for recycling. One of the most special attributes that this monastery has is the fact that it's carved in one of the hills of this region. The hanging church has over a hundred religious icons in it, and as someone who has studied art & history in depth, I would be able to help you unveil the significance behind them.
