Giza pyramids - the wonder of Egypt

Mushroom Jun's African Travel Egypt, Cairo has a whole cemetery in downtown Cairo. Because many people in the country have a lot of people, they have to use this as a habitat. Over time, the dead are buried underground, and millions of living people live on the ground. It has become the [dead city] in the local population Many people living in the city of the dead are grave-keepers. The richness of the deceased is different, and the architectural glory of the tomb is not the same. Go to the local "middle and upper class" class Mohammed's home, where the guardian is a Turkish princess. Listen to the yard, trees, flowers, dogs, ducks, it is hard to imagine that this is actually a grave. Before the grave guardian is old, sitting in the chair every day is silent, his wife is extraordinarily enthusiastic, take out the cakes at home and give us food. The eldest son (the little brother in red clothes) read the university and can speak fluent English. asked him a lot of questions, one of which is how to look at living in the grave, he said: Its her tomb

The dead city, these three horrifying words, have different meanings in Cairo. The city of the dead was originally the most dense tomb area in Cairo. With the growing population of Egypt and the tight housing, the locals built a simple house on their own cemetery. The dead people were buried on the ground, and the living on the ground was alive. Walk in the city of the dead, there is no horrible movie version of the horrible movie ghost, but with the ordinary residential area, the vehicles coming and going, the driver in the canteen drinking soda, in front of their yard The children who play, they live vividly in the city of the dead, but they are not as lively and crowded as in the city of Cairo. The only strange thing is that the street front house is not the name and house number of the house, but the name of the tomb owner and the number of the tomb. Now there are about 1 million poor people living here. A different kind of scenery in Cairo.
