Cairo Free Tour: Walking through the Cave Churches of the Scavengers' District

The cave church, as the name suggests, is a church built in a cave. It is a place that is not too busy but a bit stunning. There are some depictions of the life of Christ on the mountain. There are currently two churches that can be visited, and of course they are both free. Another special feature of the cave church is its geographical location. To visit it, you have to pass through the "garbage city". I heard that the residents here handle two-thirds of Cairo's garbage. In comparison, we have been enjoying our lives. ✏It is very convenient to use the taxi apps Uber or Didi to go to the cave church, but it is extremely difficult to get a taxi for the return trip. You can negotiate the round-trip price with the driver in advance, or walk out of the church area, take a tricycle to the main road and then take a taxi. The four of us carpooled and negotiated 120 pounds to send it to Al-Azhar Mosque.
