5. Visit a cave church

The Monastery of Saint Simon the Tanner is a church made in a cave. This is very unique. It's a great place to visit while in Cairo.

It is actually one of the seven cave churches in the area, but it is the largest with a seating capacity of 20,000.

Furthermore, the Monastery of Saint Simon the Tanner is the largest church in the Middle East.

It is just such a very special place unlike you have ever seen before. You should definitely go there while in Cairo!
