UNSEEN EGYPT: Cairo's Animal Market in The City of The Dead

Under the Muqattam Hills in Cairo lies the City of the Dead; 2.5 square miles of Islamic-era cemeteries, where the cities poorest have built their humble homes, living amongst the tombs. In a section of this neighborhood called Sayed Aisha you will find the Friday Market, also known as the Animal Market. You will find everything from turtles to cats and dogs, from fish to falcons to parrots and monkeys. Come along with me as I visit this chaotic and crowded market to witness yet another side of life in Cairo.

Welcome to the channel! My name's Gisselle, I'm a budget traveler and have been to 6 out of the 7 continents, visiting 20+ countries, living for some time in Sydney, Australia as well as in Saigon, Vietnam. I am currently living in Cairo, Egypt and exploring all this beautiful country has to offer while visiting nearby countries as well. I am a lover of language and a culturally curious lady just making my way through life one day at a time. I live to learn, I love to travel and explore, try new things and meet interesting people anywhere and everywhere in the world. Come along with me as I solo travel the globe and discover fascinating new places, try delicious local food, meet lovely people, and share a moment in time on this beautiful planet, our Earth.
