On top of the Maqqatam Hills, the mountain range that looks down on Cairo, is an amazing church built right into the rock. The church is an architectural wonder, made even more impressive by the fact that it is located at the outskirts of Garbage City, the neighborhood where about 5,000 people, about 95% of whom are Christian, literally live among the garbage. To see such an impressive building in such a pitiful neighborhood is remarkable.
