⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing experience at the Cave Church – St. Simon Monastery! I had a wonderful experience on this tour! Our driver, Ahmed, was amazing, very helpful, and made the journey comfortable and enjoyable. Our tour guide, Sarah, was also excellent. She explained the history of St. Simon Monastery and the Cave Church so well, making the visit more meaningful and interesting. Both Ahmed and Sarah made this experience memorable. I truly appreciate their kindness, professionalism, and knowledge. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cairo! Thank you, Ahmed and Sarah, for such a wonderful experience! ❤️🇪🇬

Had a great experience with my guide, Mohamed Salah. He was very nice, punctual, and communication was great throughout the tour. He was also a really good photographer and was happy to help take photos along the way. One of the highlights was that he brought me to visit a hidden church, which made the experience feel more special and unique. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely recommend him as a guide!

Ahmed drove us through the trash village, which was a difficult drive. Touring the church was a wonderful experience. The guide's rich historical explanations helped us understand the church. It's a shame we couldn't go to the top of the church.

Review for: Cave Church of Saint Simon

I had a comfortable, private, and safe trip. The air conditioning was great and they provided water. It's okay for a woman to use alone. It's a bit expensive, but it's a mystical experience, so I recommend it.
