Sono nato e cresciuto a "Garbage City" al Cairo, e sono un fotografo professionista. Lavoro all'interno del Monastero di San Simone il Conciatore (aka Cave Church), come fotografo e montatore (video e foto) per i visitatori del centro Mario High Ropes. Inoltre, organizzo tour all'interno della Garbage City accanto al monastero, con esperienze uniche come la visita di una torre dei piccioni, la visita di un centro di riciclaggio, una fabbrica di plastica e una spiegazione della storia unica dei suoi abitanti - che sono per la stragrande maggioranza cristiani dall'Alto Egitto come me.
The tour Abanoub gave was well planned and well times, not too long not too short. You get to see interesting, authentic places you could never find on your own like where they melt plastic or all the way up in the highest pigeon tower of the area. He offers refreshing drinks and helps you to find a good taxi, he takes nice pictures and gives information. Excellent tour.
It was a memorable experience, nothing like you saw before. The religious aspects and also the way of living of the people, will make you have a different perspective of life in Cairo. It is called the trash city but it can be called the recycle city, everything is separated and can be used for something new. Welcome to the biggest carved church in the world.
I had a nice and interesting afternoon with Abanoub. We visited different areas in the Garbage City, It has broadened my view. Highly recommended.
Really great experience that allows you to see another aspect of Cairo
