I was born and raised in “Garbage City” in Cairo, and I am a professional photographer.
I work inside the Monastery of St. Simon the Tanner (also known as the Cave Church) as a photographer and editor (video and photos) for visitors at the Mario High Ropes Center.
In addition, I organize tours inside Garbage City near the monastery, offering unique experiences such as visiting a pigeon tower, a recycling center, a plastic factory, and sharing the unique story of its inhabitants—most of whom are Christians from Upper Egypt like myself.
Please note that the tour is not free, and the price is arranged via WhatsApp.

This is the kind of tour everyone should take once in a lifetime. It's incredible to see how things goes outside of touristic areas, and especially here. The conditions and how this city works was so impressive, it really makes you think and change the perspective of everything
Loved the tour! One man's rubbish is another man's treasure and that's exactly what you see. The people from Garbage City is very friendly and, despite what you would think, the smell is not unbearable at all. It's a great experience, from the walk around to the endless "Hello!" and the beautiful pigeons.
First we went to the church and got to see the beauty of all the carvings and the auditorium. Then on to the Garbage cite to see all the rubish piled hig. It really stood out after the Church. Iwas amazed at how the rubbish is sorted by hand. Our guide new all the locals and they were very happy to talk to us
This is, probably, the most surprising tour you can do in Cairo. I'm my opinion it's a must.
Esperienza interessante, al di fuori dei circuiti turistici, la raccomando!
