City of the Dead, Cairo: 8 reviews and 17 photos

Don't miss the City of the Dead, in fact two large burial grounds. They're filled with mosques and other ancient buildings...strangely reminiscent of Angkor Vat and Pagan. It may be an off-putting thought to some to be living in a graveyard, but it seems to me the people living in that peaceful, spacious and quiet place are doing better than 4 out of 5 Cairo inhabitants.

Directions: just South of the Citadel

Review Helpfulness: 3 out of 5 stars
