Know More about this tour
The Zabbaleen are descendants of farmers who started migrating from Upper Egypt to Cairo in the 1940s. Fleeing poor harvests and poverty they came to the city looking for work and set-up makeshift settlements around the city. Initially, they stuck to their tradition of raising pigs, goats, chickens and other animals, but eventually found collecting and sorting of waste produced by the city residents more profitable. The Zabbaleen sort through household garbage, salvaging and selling things of value, while the organic waste provides an excellent source of food for their animals. In fact, this arrangement worked so well, that successive waves of migrants came from Upper Egypt to live and work in the newly founded garbage villages of Cairo,

Good and bad. We stared good on the tour but our tour guide never took us to see The Cave Church of Saint Simon. Our guide tour took us to a store claiming he need it to stop at a cousin to talk to. We spend more than 1/2 hr at the store as his cousin/vendor was trying to sell us something. When we asked him about going to see the cave he stared by saying that he was not sure where it was. He made a phone call and after that he said that to get there we needed to pass a bad neighborhood. Sad to hear this. If you book this tour hope they stick to your program. We missed seeing the Cave Church of Saint Simon.
