Nací y crecí en la “Ciudad de la Basura” en El Cairo y soy fotógrafo profesional. Trabajo dentro del Monasterio de San Simón el Curtidor (también conocido como la Iglesia de la Cueva) como fotógrafo y editor (video y fotos) para los visitantes del Mario High Ropes Center. Además, organizo recorridos dentro de la Ciudad de la Basura cerca del monasterio, ofreciendo experiencias únicas como visitar una torre de palomas, un centro de reciclaje, una fábrica de plástico y compartir la historia única de sus habitantes, la mayoría de los cuales son cristianos del Alto Egipto como yo. Tenga en cuenta que el recorrido no es gratuito y el precio se acuerda a través de WhatsApp. Reserve su lugar (al menos un día antes de la fecha deseada) en WhatsApp: +201001752498
The visit to Saint Tanner Monastery was definitely worth it. Unfortunately, the tour guide didn't show up, message him and waited for about 15 mins before walking through Garbage City to visit the monastery on my own. Missed out on the history part of the visit.
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.
