  • In between the iconic landmarks, mosques, and souks of Cairo lies a slum settlement that is filled with garbage. Bags and bags and bags of garbage. Appropriately nicknamed Garbage City, it’s actually called Manshiyat Naser, and it’s located just around the outskirts of Cairo’s centre, at the base of Mokattam Hill.

    It’s called ‘zabbaliin quarter’ -‘garbage collectors quarters’, populated mostly by Christian Egyptians* (Copts), who have been responsible for collecting and recycling Cairo’s garbage for decades, and doing a much better job than many western countries who claim they recycle but end up in landfills. -plastic, paper, tin cans, even fish and animal bones boiled to make glue for shoe-making. A very vibrant neighbourhood that serves a purpose. The people are happy and households are mostly clean. Not a poor neighbourhood.
    * note the absence of hijabs’ on women .

    It’s amazing to see that even living a life of poverty and in the “slums” the people all seem to be friendly and perfectly content with what they’re dealt. All the children even smiling and saying hello the adults look up when you walk by most of them saying hello. I am in the USA and I can tell you not many people here look up and say hello when you walk by them they either stare forward or do not even look up from their phone very few acknowledge you in such a way as most of these people did.

As women, you are seen as 'meat' and we never got left alone, always pestering you and beeping and stopping their vehicles. Was disgusting. They need to get into the 21st century. Plus I wore trousers and a t shire, with hair tied back. Islamic respect to women as its finest! Wont ever go back again.

    Years ago, I was part of the UN peace-keeping mission (UNEF II) based in Ismailia, Egypt. We used to drive often along the outskirts of 'Garbage City', during our 'embassy runs' to Cairo. We knew it then as a poor, Christian district. And even today (thanks to your video) you almost immediately note the lack of head coverage on the women, indicating that the population is still largely Christian.

      . . If You had opportunity to live there You would realize that living in other countries always offer something for somethig and cleanliness and happiness may go separate ways. But to know it reqiures determination and skills to make good connection to people who live there. Living in Cairo was for me exceptionaly demanting regarding working at the same time rewarding for local life conditions and trustworthy to me people. I found all that "mess" much more reasonable than in western countries. Surely driving car and walking requires new set of skills but life is for learning.

    I visited Cairo and a town called Ismailia, Egypt back in 1991, because my mother married an Egyptian man and then they had two kids, and moved to Egypt, so I went to see them, and visit Egypt. It was an awesome trip! First of all, it was before the world changed, so that in itself made it great. I was able to smoke on the plane, which I enjoyed very much. We went to the Pyramids, The Egyptian Museum, to a bazaar, and for a faluka ride on the Nile. We went out to eat a few times, and just walked around downtown Cairo, too. I remember seeing goats and other animals, and I remember there being a lot of street cats. The Call to Prayer freaked me out the first time I heard it, but then I got used to it. I'm glad I went when I did, because I don't think I would be brave enough to travel anywhere in the Middle East right now. Also, I should mention, I never had to go anywhere without a family member that spoke fluent Arabic, so therefore, I never had any communication issues. I remember one day I wore a tank top and shorts, and I'll just say, if you are female, don't do that if you visit Egypt. It was not viewed as appropriate.
    ** I don't remember Cairo being super filthy, in general. It wasn't "clean", but I don't remember there being garbage everywhere. Could be which part of town you visit, maybe? 🤔 Or it might just be totally different today, just like the rest of the world has changed. I personally hate the way the world is today.

      its because you are an idiot and you lack some knowledge. The small streets are part of ancient cities of Kathmandu valley whose town planning was done more than 3000 years ago. It is the only ancient city with ancient cultures that is still existing today. Those streets were never meant to be for driving cars. There are larger streets for chariots routes and small alleys and maze like planning for normal walking and horses. Small doors and alley ways to confuse any invading armies. Some of the best ancient and medieval towns are in Nepal. But maybe you visited those places recently which is after 2015 earthquake. There's constructions going on everywhere to rebuild the congested deep alleys with thousands of people commuting so it might feel disorderly.

      nice story, but its not what we call recycling, its garbage hustlers. REcycling is at totally another scale, hundreds of tonnes, not hundreds of KG, all these peopels do is sort through garbages to extract the more valuable and sell them. Air quality in CAiro is insanely bad, and most of the garbages (in mass) are burned, directly inside the city.

      🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 they don’t sort 💩. If they did, you wouldn’t see trash literally EVERYWHERE, mixed with dead animals on the side of the road, all the way to Giza. Wake up

    Thank you for allowing us along. I would never be able to see these places otherwise.
