    The Cave Church of Saint Simon the Tanner or the Monastery of Samaan Al Kharraz is a holy book made of stone. It is one of the largest churches in Egypt, the Middle East and the world and sheds light on a sacred representation of attraction created by the power of faith. The cave church is located in the Mokattam Hills east of Cairo. This area is known as the "Garbage City" where the Zabbaleen community lives.
