🇪🇬Egyptian Cave Church｜Passing through the world's largest garbage city, you will arrive at this niche attraction

The most impressive place in Cairo is not the world-famous pyramids, but the Cave Church⛪️ The only way to reach the Cave Church is to pass through the world's largest garbage city The Moqattam. In front of you is the real life of tens of thousands of Zabbaleen people. They make a living by collecting and recycling the garbage of Cairo's huge population After passing through the garbage city, I finally arrived at the Cave Church. The church is built in a natural cave and can accommodate about 20,000 people. Murals and carvings describing the history of Coptic Christianity (the title of Egyptian Christians) and biblical stories are all over the rock walls Even though I have seen all kinds of gorgeous and exquisite churches in the world, the Cave Church shocked me with another completely different attitude. Its primitive, magnificent, and even a little roughness are very different from the churches that people are familiar with There is no stained glass dome, no overly luxurious carvings, no complicated architectural structure, only the texture of the rock, the hand-chisel marks and the power of faith Holiness and faith are gathered in this cave, and then spread to the garbage city outside, Cairo and even the whole of Egypt. When you are in the cave church, recalling the dirty, noisy garbage city you passed by not long ago, it seems like two completely different worlds. The sense of separation and impact is really hard to describe, but it hits the depths of the soul. At that moment, a Latin proverb came to my mind: ✨Through adversity, reach the stars (Per aspera ad astra)✨, even in poor soil, a flower can bloom; even in darkness, there will always be a gap to let in light; even if you are born in despair, you can still have hope; If you come to Cairo for a trip, it is still highly recommended to visit the cave church👍Remember to visit the first cathedral, and walk a little further up there is a small church. The huge cross stands in the church. Compared with the majestic atmosphere of the cathedral, it is another more mysterious feeling. Remember not to miss it‼ ️ 【Transportation】: 🚘How to get there: First of all, it is not recommended to drive in Cairo, so there are generally two ways to get to the church. ✅The first is to take a taxi, you can use Uber, Didi, Indrive, and locate it to St. Simon "The Tanner" Monastery or The Cave Church, but you can hardly get a taxi on the return trip, so it is best to negotiate a price with the driver and ask him to wait for you to finish your tour before taking you away ✅The second method is to charter a car. The attractions in Cairo are not far away, but they still require a car ride, so it is necessary and more convenient to charter a car to visit several major attractions in the city for one day #GlobalTravel #RegisterFebruaryHotelTestSleeper2025 #TravelCoolExperience #trip #Egypt #EgyptTourism #TravelAroundTheWorld #Backpacking
