Booking2Egypt`s guide will be Pickup you from your Hotel at 10:00 am To Start your day Tour to The Garbage City in Cairo

Manshiyat naser, or “Garbage City in Cairo” as it’s better known as, is a slum settlement located to the southeast of Cairo. Its inhabitants are affectionately known as “Garbage People”, not because of their awesome Ed Hardy swag, but because they have been sustaining themselves for decades as Cairo’s unofficial sanitation crew.

The Garbage People, comprising mostly Coptic Christians, first immigrated to Cairo in the 1930s in search of big city dreams and land under their feet. Being very poor, and without a solid 401k plan, they got by whatever way they could: living in makeshift housing and recycling the city’s compostable waste products by feeding it to their pigs.

Today, Cairo’s Garbage People make ends meet by going door to door to pick up people’s trash for a nominal fee, which is then brought back to their Garbage City neighborhoods. There, they sort and recycle everything they could, using it for their own manufacturing.

The Zabbaleen is an Arabic Egyptian Word means Trash Collector who using trucks to Collect the trash from Egyptian Houses to Garbage City, and further direct their loot via a network of donkey-powered carts that carry heaps of trash back to their exact destination

Once the garbage arrives at its final destination—a Zabbaleen house or apartment— families sort out the trash according to their specialization. Some sort plastic bottles, others cans, and so on. They recycle this garbage to make anything from bags and stationery to plastic hangers and toys.

Many sources agree that the Zabbaleen have created one of the most efficient recycling systems in the world, which recycles up to 80 percent of all the waste that they collect.
