Daily departures with a local guide to explore a world beyond historical and tourist reality.
Known as the “Rocinha of Egypt,” the City of the Dead in Cairo is one of the most impressive and impactful places in the country. This tour takes you inside a vast community built within one of the largest cemeteries in the world, creating a unique setting that blends history, culture, and a surprising reality. Despite its “ghost-like” appearance, the area is full of life, with families living among centuries-old mausoleums in the heart of Egypt’s capital.
During the tour, you will understand how this community was formed, especially after the conflicts between Egypt and Israel in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, when many people migrated and began occupying tombs and mausoleums. The area is home to the burial sites of important figures in Islamic history, including members of Mohamed Ali’s family, as well as prominent Egyptian leaders and personalities. It is a powerful, cultural, and authentic experience that reveals the resilience and adaptability of the Egyptian people within one of Cairo’s most striking realities.
