@MariamYasser-ii5so I'll have to look for a video that shows another part. All I've been seeing are fish markets, which I'd never go to, and a big shopping mall, that I'd also never go to, because all of the vendors were men. Not a single woman selling merchandise. I refuse to visit any country where the men do not respect women and treat them like third class citizens.
As a woman, I went there. Never again! All women are classed as 'meat'. We did not even dress uncovered apart from lower arms, but the pestering is awful. A mans world there.

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.
there's a bunch of complainers here in the USA. Mostly those who have never made it out of their state to see what the rest of the world looks like. Ignorant ingrates, many are maga.
Yeah, try walking around as a western woman and see how your treated. We wore respectful clothes, ie trousers and t shirt, but still they pester and beep and stop their vehicles. Horrible place for any woman.
Wow, hats off to you Foss. This was something really special, an extraordinary experience. Thanks for showing us places average tourists could probably never visit.
i watched this from start to end, very few had mobiles stuck to there ears, many people give a nice smile, i found this amazing to watch, like i was walking with you, its busy its dirty, dusty, so much noise, but in many ways everyone is just getting on with it, thank you so much for this film, other wise you would never get to see such places.
Visited Cairo early 2000's... never again. Unfriendly surly folk everywhere, rubbish ditto. The beautiful Nile full of floating garbage. The museum however, was a wonderful experience, beautiful inside and well organised. Alexandria a complete contrast to Cairo, it's a beautiful well run city, much friendlier folk everywhere.
Many years ago I asked my grandfather what it was like in Egypt when he fought in the first world war. He gave one solitary answer "filthy" and this was way back in 1914.
Most people would say this is a dump. A very poor place but I see people that are hard at work doing what they can to survive and be independent. Not to mention the view, it’s like snapshots of the times when the Silk Road was in full effect while people brought their objects to sell on Camel back. I love this video, no music just a good walk in a historical place . Great job!!
Unfortunately it's nothing like the Silk Road. It's a filthy and chaotic slum with sub par living conditions. Romanticising misery helps perpetuate it for years to come.
Here in Phoenix, Arizona, the garbage collection is well organized, recycling is improving, we must all do our bit to save the planet for the next generation.
I was in Cairo 10 years ago-the filthiest city I've ever seen, worse than Nairobi. In the morning it was smokey from all the trash burning. On the way to the airport one morning I couldn't open my eyes because they were so teared up from the air pollution. On a ride to Giza thru the ag region we saw dead cows floating in the irrigation canals, meat hanging outside food shops, flies everywhere.
May be you saw something you do not know and not understand and you judge it by only standards which oyu are familiar to like clanliness and hygene. We western people are trained to that by so called meds and big pharma to be scared of dirt and lack of householding sanitary. Just open any TV program. Al that driven by profits. . . 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.
The dust, the cars, and the sound of horns sound very dangerous. For those who walk this road, I hope that people here will one day have a better life.
Inteesting how Egypt, Iraq, Iran, India were once the cradles of civilization in ancient times and more advanced than any other culture in the world and look what they have become now.
Well, they did, the cradle of civilization, but all this and the situation of these countries happened for the reason of colonialism, intervention, and even wars in the name of watermelon freedom, which means that the world is not perfect, but towards the end, and a vivid example of that is what is happening to Gaza, but at the hands of the parrot of freedom themselves. Everything is clear why these countries suffered and changed, and they are the cradle of civilization. The achievement that is happening to the world now is its end because it is a big lie really and human beings are intellectually absent......
These are the countries of the owners of the old civilization who are still more advanced but humane this is a fact, and it is the important one. Humanity but actions I mean and not but repeating it like a parrot and destroying it but a reality like what the world is doing today in Gaza...
Iran? Tehran looks nothing like this. I'm not saying that Iran is perfect, but considering the isolation of the country politically and economically, Tehran is fairly advanced.
This is like watching the Arab/Muslim/African version of the average Indian city. Noisy, filthy, populous and zero maintenance. Just surviving. Great video, thank you for posting!
A lack of funds (being poor) doesn’t stop anyone from sweeping the street in front of their shop. It’s a Western tradition to keep your place presentable and it shows self respect. Mass illegal migration will result eventually in turning all the world into this unpleasant Cairo nightmare that I could never adapt to . Sidewalks should be cleared, but when they aren’t, you know that government corruption has reached very high proportions. It’s such a simple, considerate thing to not block the sidewalk.
I have been to Cairo several times and I was amazed how many 2-3-4 -5 story buildings had rebar sticking up and unfinished upper floor of many were old buildings and new and was told that once a building is completed the owners would be forced to start paying taxes on it -
@@TopHatNat .........smell..............well lets see..................I remember the first time being in a cab going down the main inner city street leading into Cairo and as we went over a small bridge to our right next to us was a new Maybach Mercedes and as we looked down onto a river bed the under bridge canal there was a dead donkey laying in the water..............all adding to the ambiance of the place........................
I love Egypt and the Egyptians, and I love their way of living and its streets. Damn everyone who criticizes their way of life. Greetings from Algeria ❤

Děkuji pane Bože za to, že mohu žít s tím co mám, tam kde žiji, neboť jinde to není samozřejmostí. A jak řekl jednou Victor Hugo citát: „Ráj bohatých je vyroben z pekla chudých.,,
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. Take me back to the 80's and 90's!
This is so sadness to see.... i feel sorry for this people who live in there... Its not something unusual..its happening all around poor country's... Wish them a better life 😪 🤲🏻🇸🇦💐
Yes, it is sad. People don't realize how good they have it in other places. Egypt does have beautiful places as well, but I agree with the other commentor on here, unfortunately corruption has a lot to do with it. I have videos myself on here of some of the nicer appearing areas of Cairo and in Giza, but cities in many countries including in the US have some very damaged areas. This is sad to see though.
@alex-rx2vu there are countries that do not have all the chances to organize themselves. Probably you have never lived in poverty or hard times and youu speak under your security.
I was in Giza in January 2022 to see the Great Pyramids, and I did adventured for a long walk nearby my hotel near the Pyramids. What I could see was rubbish everywhere, goats(in some cases) and dust. People were friendly though. Traffic was a nightmare.
lol, so busy doing nothing, this kind of hustle isnt any productive, picking few plastic bags and metal can is not recyclign eiher, and the genreal filth and trash shows this is not an evolved society at all, more like 200 or 300 years backward.
I felt very depressed I couldn’t even take a full breath while watching Garbage and sewerage system should be number one from the country budget , If I AM the Leader I won’t Let this happened!!!
I have been to Cairo,once ! I have never been to a City that big and populated !!! Never since,either !!! And I have to admit,that I never got the Idea how the City of Cairo is functioning ??? Does "She" really function ??? And then,that is a "miracle of Life" she does !!!
ive made friends with an egypt on a videogame and he always tells me he hates the life in egypt, its very stressful for him. I can now see how he lives InshaAllah he finds peace
@@wide_awake Don't see drugged out junkies, obvious prostitution, elbow to elbow casinos...any garbage you see is sorted and waiting for a purpose... it's a lot better than major cities in the US - but hey, at least we can buy booze in grocery stores - THAT'S life!
Perfect example of zero central planning. No public areas, just apartments and dirty streets as far as the eye can see. No wonder Egypt are building an entirely new capital city.
Wow, I never imagined to see such a dirty place, does the city never get cleaned or is it the people that don't care and throw in the road? Nice video of a very interesting capital.... Just a shame there is so much trash.
This city is called trash city , everyone is gathering rubbish from other cities to sell it or process it ( recycling ), yup , believe it or not , 99% of this city peoples gather rubbish to sell it to recycling centres (very primitive ones ) , it’s very famous in Egypt, everyone knows it .
This is an outskirt of Cairo where the community of Christian Copts, poor and discriminated, try yo make a living sorting trash brought to them from all over Cairo in order to salvage and sell anything recyclable
@MariamYasser-ii5so I've been to Egypt. I was in a resort and I enjoyed every moment of my holiday. I never visited Cairo but I did see the Giza Plateau, It was fascinating but I'm sorry to say that there was LOTS of trash there too, paper, plastic bottles, and all sorts buried in every corner of the ruins...
Years ago I watched Karl Pilkington in Idiot Abroad. The trip to Egypt was like this. Eye opening. I always loved learning about Egypt. Loved the idea of taking a cool cruise done the Nile. Come to find out they are loud & reeking of diesal fuel.
I am always thankful and grateful for where I live in today. Far from cities but clean, peaceful and not chaotic. I have no right to judge these people coz we all know many people choose to live in cities because opportunities to work, to earn money can be found in that place.
Thanks for the interesting video. I notice that people actually use pickup trucks for work in Egypt, unlike in America here where men use them for status symbols and rarely use them for hauling materials.
I’ve been to Cairo two weeks ago. Not all Cairo is like that. There is new Ciro which is very modern . It’s a crazy big city, the system is very different than what you get inthe West, that’s why it is interesting to see. I like “different” and “unsusal” things in life. People are warm and friendly. I will be back !
It’s a trip how none of the cars or trucks have any dents 😂. It’s nice that everyone says hello I thought they knew you 😂 I’m really liking this video. It was funny when you started to gag and said “the smell” 😂 I guess that was a trash truck that passed by.

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 the 'western' world only knew...

I love this video, no music just a good walk in a historical place . Great job!!
Fools should come to Kalifornia. They wouldn't have to work😅
Unfortunately it's nothing like the Silk Road. It's a filthy and chaotic slum with sub par living conditions. Romanticising misery helps perpetuate it for years to come.
I don't believe the Silk Road was as dirty and polluted as this place, surely not?
Looks better than Los Angeles 😅
@@mikeoglen6848are you kidding? You think the Silk Road was some clean road with trash cans along the route?
Better than any tourist guide tour.
Here in Phoenix, Arizona, the garbage collection is well organized, recycling is improving, we must all do our bit to save the planet for the next generation.
I was in Cairo 10 years ago-the filthiest city I've ever seen, worse than Nairobi. In the morning it was smokey from all the trash burning. On the way to the airport one morning I couldn't open my eyes because they were so teared up from the air pollution. On a ride to Giza thru the ag region we saw dead cows floating in the irrigation canals, meat hanging outside food shops, flies everywhere.
Well, at least they dont shit on streets like they do in India..
Yep i was there in 2010 i didnt see some of the things you saw but it always seemed dirty dusty and polluted
May be you saw something you do not know and not understand and you judge it by only standards which oyu are familiar to like clanliness and hygene. We western people are trained to that by so called meds and big pharma to be scared of dirt and lack of householding sanitary. Just open any TV program. Al that driven by profits.
. . 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 witnessed it too
@@nwo6541no, Egypt is just as bad as India
The dust, the cars, and the sound of horns sound very dangerous. For those who walk this road, I hope that people here will one day have a better life.
Oh my word,all of the pedestrians and vehicles so close , y'all sure have the Lord working over time there. God Bless from Alabama USA.
God bless
Inteesting how Egypt, Iraq, Iran, India were once the cradles of civilization in ancient times and more advanced than any other culture in the world and look what they have become now.
Well, they did, the cradle of civilization, but all this and the situation of these countries happened for the reason of colonialism, intervention, and even wars in the name of watermelon freedom, which means that the world is not perfect, but towards the end, and a vivid example of that is what is happening to Gaza, but at the hands of the parrot of freedom themselves. Everything is clear why these countries suffered and changed, and they are the cradle of civilization. The achievement that is happening to the world now is its end because it is a big lie really and human beings are intellectually absent......
The leadership??😂sissi
These are the countries of the owners of the old civilization who are still more advanced but humane this is a fact, and it is the important one. Humanity but actions I mean and not but repeating it like a parrot and destroying it but a reality like what the world is doing today in Gaza...
Iran? Tehran looks nothing like this. I'm not saying that Iran is perfect, but considering the isolation of the country politically and economically, Tehran is fairly advanced.
Democracy and cast system ruined india
I would never visit here looks scary, But I do love your videos brother
Actually, this part of the city is a safe place. It hurt to see this Christian part of the city that poor.

Fantastic decent Egyptian people who try to keep their beautiful country clean from garbage.
Unbelievable, no shortage of morons on RUclips 🤦🏼♂️
This is like watching the Arab/Muslim/African version of the average Indian city. Noisy, filthy, populous and zero maintenance. Just surviving. Great video, thank you for posting!

A lack of funds (being poor) doesn’t stop anyone from sweeping the street in front of their shop. It’s a Western tradition to keep your place presentable and it shows self respect. Mass illegal migration will result eventually in turning all the world into this unpleasant Cairo nightmare that I could never adapt to . Sidewalks should be cleared, but when they aren’t, you know that government corruption has reached very high proportions. It’s such a simple, considerate thing to not block the sidewalk.
I have been to Cairo several times and I was amazed how many 2-3-4 -5 story buildings had rebar sticking up and unfinished upper floor of many were old buildings and new and was told that once a building is completed the owners would be forced to start paying taxes on it -
That's the craziest "thing " I've ever heard!... What a cunning businessmen! Lmao-oh
The buildings @ 1:02 look like residential homes without windows. They would have no natural light but at least they could keep out the smell, maybe.
@@TopHatNat .........smell..............well lets see..................I remember the first time being in a cab going down the main inner city street leading into Cairo and as we went over a small bridge to our right next to us was a new Maybach Mercedes and as we looked down onto a river bed the under bridge canal there was a dead donkey laying in the water..............all adding to the ambiance of the place........................

Copt means Egyptian not Christian
@@ahmedelkhwaga2751 OK, but why are all Copts Christian?
@@ahmedelkhwaga2751I think he knows that but Copts are mainly Christian although Coptic is a dead language it only lives because of liturgical reasons. It's still used in the Churches since their Bible is written in Coptic
and this is supposed to be a favourite holiday destination
Cairo certainly not,but in Egypt are many Touristical Sites !!!
Depends on what you like
Yeah. 😂😂😂😂😂 Many naive Europeans think it's better than southern Europe, lol. Even the sharks attack tourists here.
@@a3103-j7g there are many fancy , clean and enjoyable places to go for holidays in Egypt like Hurghada and Sharm El shiekh but ofc cairo isn't one of them
Traffic is a madness !
Salutes from brazil !
I don't know about y'all, but find this so intriguing to visit. It's another world.
My goodness, Egypt sure has gone down hill since the age of the Pharaohs.
Hahahaha since the age of what? Mafia? Yeah sure
Except this is Zabbaliin Quarters where garbage collection and recycling is done for decades! Raw gargabe stinks sure but it all gets sorted out in different streets, it's like a big manual labor factory, and actually they recycle EVERYTHING better than in the West where is half recycling a big LIE
Religion(s) ruin everything
Until 1952, Egypt was better than France
Military rule is destructive, steals the entire state budget and leaves it destroyed
I know.. in just 3K years.
My thoughts too, Humans have become dumb.
Glad to be born in America... Thanks God
That's a hell on earth ! OMG ! الافلاس التام !
Hi , very interesting video , full of life 😂😂, problem is that streets aren’t dont and that’s the reason of all dust , it’s very old place , love all those metal gates and door , they are antiques and have stories behind , thanks for the video and giving us an idea of Cairo 👌🏼👌🏼hard working people minding they own Business ♥️♥️♥️💐
Great place, my husband and I were thining of spending our holiday there. Kids will love it.🥰

And me in Canary Islands
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. Take me back to the 80's and 90's!
I'm from Ismailia and I love it
@@maryshellsmith6627 I went Cairo in 1991 and remember a lady in a tank top and shorts! Must have been you ? Didn’t you get stoned ??
@@paul-ie6wi Yes! That was me! I did get stoned!

You should wear tank tops and mini skirt next time you go to Egypt. Am pretty sure they'd welcome you in warm embrace. Saudi would be perfect as well.
Man they drive crazy! I like what you showed us!
This is so sadness to see.... i feel sorry for this people who live in there...
Its not something unusual..its happening all around poor country's...
Wish them a better life 😪 🤲🏻🇸🇦💐
they should organize themselves...
Unfortunately, I believe that they're as organised as they're going to get.
Yes, it is sad. People don't realize how good they have it in other places. Egypt does have beautiful places as well, but I agree with the other commentor on here, unfortunately corruption has a lot to do with it. I have videos myself on here of some of the nicer appearing areas of Cairo and in Giza, but cities in many countries including in the US have some very damaged areas. This is sad to see though.
@alex-rx2vu there are countries that do not have all the chances to organize themselves. Probably you have never lived in poverty or hard times and youu speak under your security.
I've seen worse in India and Pakistan.
I was in Giza in January 2022 to see the Great Pyramids, and I did adventured for a long walk nearby my hotel near the Pyramids. What I could see was rubbish everywhere, goats(in some cases) and dust. People were friendly though. Traffic was a nightmare.
This is Paris ?
Everyone looks so Busy getting on with living. Very good Video Sir Thank you Take care.
busy with doing nothing that really matters of is of any value
lol, so busy doing nothing, this kind of hustle isnt any productive, picking few plastic bags and metal can is not recyclign eiher, and the genreal filth and trash shows this is not an evolved society at all, more like 200 or 300 years backward.
Thank you for this video, felt like I was actually walking there!!
I felt very depressed I couldn’t even take a full breath while watching Garbage and sewerage system should be number one from the country budget , If I AM the Leader I won’t Let this happened!!!
You are a brave guy with no Arabic trailblazing the ghettos of Cairo.
I was holding my nose without thinking as I was watching it.
Thank you for such an interesting tour of Cairo slums!!
😂
Nn ci andrei mai x lo sporco
It’s so busy. It’s amazing and no trouble.
Everyone seems generally very friendly and the kids are all sweet natured.

Facinating video. I will probably never get the chance to do this myself but this is almost as good
I have been to Cairo,once !
I have never been to a City that big and populated !!!
Never since,either !!!
And I have to admit,that I never got the Idea how the City of Cairo is functioning ???
Does "She" really function ???
And then,that is a "miracle of Life" she does !!!
ive made friends with an egypt on a videogame and he always tells me he hates the life in egypt, its very stressful for him. I can now see how he lives InshaAllah he finds peace
It depends where he lives. This is Cairo, not Egypt.
This has to be one of the most fascinating videos I've seen on RUclips. Thank you! Subscribed.
In this place is the Church of Saint Simon the Tanner, one of the most famous Coptic tourist destinations in Cairo.
Vibrant active working people and community. Never boredom and very few zombies walking around looking at phones

Hi
Perfect example of zero central planning. No public areas, just apartments and dirty streets as far as the eye can see. No wonder Egypt are building an entirely new capital city.
Wow, I never imagined to see such a dirty place, does the city never get cleaned or is it the people that don't care and throw in the road? Nice video of a very interesting capital.... Just a shame there is so much trash.
This city is called trash city , everyone is gathering rubbish from other cities to sell it or process it ( recycling ), yup , believe it or not , 99% of this city peoples gather rubbish to sell it to recycling centres (very primitive ones ) , it’s very famous in Egypt, everyone knows it .
people throw on the ground so it's not interesting to invest in cleanlyness. vicious cycle.
A lot of countries in the world have areas like this. You should see Manilla, Philippines, its worse
This is an outskirt of Cairo where the community of Christian Copts, poor and discriminated, try yo make a living sorting trash brought to them from all over Cairo in order to salvage and sell anything recyclable
@MariamYasser-ii5so I've been to Egypt. I was in a resort and I enjoyed every moment of my holiday. I never visited Cairo but I did see the Giza Plateau, It was fascinating but I'm sorry to say that there was LOTS of trash there too, paper, plastic bottles, and all sorts buried in every corner of the ruins...
Thanks for the tour Foss, very enlightening and you are brave to go there, I could almost smell it from here 🤮
Why don't you tell us where you from so we can send him to your slum city I am pretty sure you have one where you live right now
Years ago I watched Karl Pilkington in Idiot Abroad. The trip to Egypt was like this. Eye opening. I always loved learning about Egypt. Loved the idea of taking a cool cruise done the Nile. Come to find out they are loud & reeking of diesal fuel.
What kinda of trucks are they? Little truck carrying loads up hill on rough ground. Impressive.
Interesting sharing, thank you.
I am always thankful and grateful for where I live in today. Far from cities but clean, peaceful and not chaotic. I have no right to judge these people coz we all know many people choose to live in cities because opportunities to work, to earn money can be found in that place.
Thanks for the interesting video. I notice that people actually use pickup trucks for work in Egypt, unlike in America here where men use them for status symbols and rarely use them for hauling materials.
Call them pavement princesses here. Every time I see a child-killing F150 with an pristine, empty bed, it's a dead giveaway.
Amazing, we need more walkings like that ❤❤❤
I’ve been to Cairo two weeks ago.
Not all Cairo is like that. There is new Ciro which is very modern . It’s a crazy big city, the system is very different than what you get inthe West, that’s why it is interesting to see. I like “different” and “unsusal” things in life. People are warm and friendly. I will be back !
34:20 Those BANANAS were like a ray of hope, in that hopeless mess.
Great video thank you for sharing it... Peace
The truth is that we can be happy ANYWHERE with the right state of mind and a high social activity.
It’s a trip how none of the cars or trucks have any dents 😂. It’s nice that everyone says hello I thought they knew you 😂 I’m really liking this video. It was funny when you started to gag and said “the smell” 😂 I guess that was a trash truck that passed by.
Hi just come across your channel think this is amazing thing to see it's hard life for alot of people trying to survive godbless them .thank you for showing us this.love from UK 🇬🇧

Thank you for this video sir. I am very interested in the Arab world and also Egypt because I have a teacher who is from here. I don't have the money to travel right now so you are helping me out a lot with these videos
Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
So this is what _that_ looks like.
I really liked this tour. You are doing an excellent job!
I’ve have traveled to Egypt a number of times while working offshore to join a vessel, which meant a 5 hour bus trip from Cairo, not just the capital that is like this, the whole country is strewn with rubbish. The country seems to have degraded since the days of Cleopatra
Just watched this video you made at what I can describe as indescribable. What a hell hole this is. You are so brave bringing us this slum but more importantly are so much appreciated for filming this. Cannot believe my eyes. One hell hole

Philadelphia used to be a beautiful city. So sad.
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 the 'western' world only knew...
Interesting, I wonder what can be done to raise awareness.
what does Christianity have to do with any of this? why always bring religion into everything to poison the well of humanity?
Western people are mostly dumbs.
