AKA the City of the Dead this is where thousands of people live in the necropolis, making the tombs their living and working quarters. It's quite a sight to behold.

The 'city of the dead' made such an impression on me on my holiday in Cairo. It's simply astonishing how many people live in these old mausoleums, displaced due to poverty and war. The southern cemetery has fewer residents and feels very eerie, but you can see the architecture more than in the northern cemetery, where people seem to pop out from everywhere.

out to the east of cairo, travel carefully and dress down
