Day 2: Cave Church, Rubbish City and the City of the Dead

visit The Famous Cave Church of St. Simon in Cairo There are seven cave churches carved into the nearby Moqattam Mountain. The Monastery of St. Simon the Tanner is the largest and has an amphitheatre with a seating capacity of 20,000. It is worth a visit if you are interesting to see something different in Egypt.
Then passing by the Rubbish City in Cairo where it's located in a very local area that calls Manshiyat naser, or Rubbish City in Cairo as it’s better known as, is a slum settlement located to the southeast of Cairo. Its inhabitants are affectionately known as Rubbish People , because they have been sustaining themselves for decades as Cairo’s unofficial sanitation crew.
The Rubbish People, comprising mostly Coptic Christians, first immigrated to Cairo in the 1930s in search of big city dreams and land under their feet. Being very poor, and without a solid 401k plan, they got by whatever way they could: living in makeshift housing and recycling the city's compostable waste products by feeding it to their pigs.
Today, Cairo's Rubbish People make ends meet by going door to door to pick up peoples trash for a nominal fee, which is then brought back to their Rubbish City areas. There, they sort and recycle everything they could, using it for their own manufacturing.
Then passing with The City of the Dead, which is an Islamic necropolis and cemetery below the Mokattam Hills in southeastern Cairo.

Note: You will be Passing Through Rubbish Place Without getting Off from the Car as the Place is almost Full of Rubbish with very bad Smell that can cause diseases that's why we created a passing through Trip because Customer's Safety is our main Concern.
