THE HIDDEN SIDE OF CAIRO (City of the Dead)

Video Description

The City of the Dead (al-Qarafa) is a 4-mile-long series of Islamic-era cemeteries in Cairo, Egypt. An estimated half a million people live here — their homes in and among historic cemeteries and tombs, some well over a thousand years old. Though the area (also called Cairo Necropolis, or al-Qarafa in Arabic) is known as a slum, the residents are living in an open-air history museum. It's one of those places in the world that you can't quite believe exists. In this video, we explore the incredible architecture of the neighborhood, interact with friendly locals, and are even invited inside a local home for a cool surprise. https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/t9g6ky All music in this video is from Epidemic Sound, a huge royalty-free music library that is perfect for YouTubers!
