Le village est remarquable pour avoir presque tous ses espaces couverts de déchets, y compris les rues et les toits de la colonie. une zone connue sous le nom de "Garbage City", qui est un bidonville au pied de la colline de Mokattam à la périphérie du Caire, et habitée par les chrétiens coptes, une communauté d'éboueurs qui gagnent leur vie en collectant et en recyclant 17 000 tonnes de déchets produits par les 20 millions d'habitants du Caire. Ces montagnes d'ordures sont le résultat du fait que la région métropolitaine du Caire n'a jamais mis en place de système efficace de collecte des ordures.
L'un des meilleurs lieux religieux et historiques que vous pouvez visiter et profiter des belles sculptures réalisées très récemment et décrit le voyage de la Sainte Famille en Égypte et les bénédictions qui lui ont été accordées. Coupé dans la montagne Mokkatam aux abords de la vieille ville islamique du Caire.
la Cité des Morts, où les défunts élisent domicile parmi les vivants. C'est un cimetière musulman avec plusieurs tombes. Un bon nombre de ces tombes sont occupées par des familles qui souhaitent rester près de leurs proches décédés ou y ont squatté pour échapper à la pauvreté. L'immense nécropole du Caire est un lieu sacré pour les Égyptiens. Aussi connue sous le nom de Cité des Morts, elle contient des tombes qui remontent à l'époque des Mamelouks, qui ont régné sur l'Égypte pendant plus de 250 ans avant la conquête ottomane en 1517, ainsi que les sanctuaires, les mosquées et les mausolées des premiers dirigeants islamiques tels que comme Imam al-Shafi

Abdul was an absolute standout—deeply knowledgeable, genuinely passionate, and incredibly accommodating from start to finish. When friends urged us not to miss the Civilization Museum, we asked if he’d be willing to adjust our plan, even though it wasn’t part of the original itinerary. Without hesitation, he made it happen. Inside the museum, he brought history vividly to life with infectious enthusiasm. And just when we thought he’d already gone above and beyond, he insisted on still taking us to the City of the Dead because he didn’t want us to miss a single highlight. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Excellent tour, very interesting parts if Cairo not seen by many tourists. Wish our guide wanted to spend more time at the City of the Dead, but he seemed a little nervous about it. He was a very nice guy otherwise.
Thank you so much for your time to review us and hope to serve you again here in Egypt But I need you to understand that you spent enough time at the city of the dead and there are some places there. It’s not safe to wait there a lot because of the lease security there.
Highly recommended. Abdul has been a good guide and has given us explanations to everything we have asked

I loved our guide, he was so knowledgeable, informative and such a nice person, Hitham was definitely the best guide we have had to date in Egypt and made this tour memorable, loved our time. Would highly recommend doing any tour with him, even though we were doing garbage city his knowledge on Alexandria, pyramids and history surpassed the actual guides we had for those tours and we learned more about those places by just chatting to him than when we actually visited. Thank you Hitham you are the best

You get to see parts of Cairo that you wouldn’t venture into by yourself. There were just two of us on the tour and our guide Haitham and the driver were very accommodating. Haitham is very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions.

Abdullah was friendly, courteous and ON TIME. Garbage City is a unique spot not on everyone's radar, but it is fascinating. We also visited the Cave Church and drive through the City of the Dead. Visited a perfumery and a papyrus museum, all were interesting in their own right. I would recommend this tour if you seek the unusual.

The tour with Tamer was excellent. He explained all the historical parts of the places we visited, but also the monuments we passed along the way. In the city of the dead we went down to see the tomb of a prince and it was quite interesting to see the architecture and how they are restoring the place. Thanks, Tamer!
