🇪🇬 Cairo, Egypt - Walking Cairo's City of the Dead - Historic Islamic Cairo Walking Tour

Join us for a fascinating walking tour through the City of the Dead in Cairo, Egypt. This sprawling necropolis, dating back to the 7th century, is a unique and dynamic neighborhood where the dead and living coexist on the same streets. With over 500,000 people occupying the area, the City of the Dead has become a thriving community for those who have been forced into abject poverty in Cairo's metro area.

Our tour will take us through both the Northern and Southern Cemeteries, separated by the Citadel, as well as a smaller cemetery north of Bab al-Nasr. We'll explore the history and architecture of the mausoleums and tombs, as well as the lives of the people who have made their homes here.

From agricultural centers to natural disasters, many factors have led to the growth of this unique community. As we walk through the narrow streets and alleys, we'll witness the daily life of the residents of the City of the Dead and gain insight into the challenges they face. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to experience a side of Cairo rarely seen by tourists.
