Ways to Experience this attraction
Cave Church, Cairo Overview
Mokattam Mountain, located in the southeast of Cairo, is home to Cave Church. The church, also known as St Simon's Monastery, is located in an area known as Garbage City and is a masterpiece with stories and paintings on the walls of the church.
The cave consists of 3 churches, which include a hidden chapel. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a breathtaking display of vibrant murals, intricate carvings, and soaring arches, all illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight. Carved into the very heart of the mountain, this remarkable sanctuary offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience the intersection of history, architecture, and spirituality.
