In general, the Islamic Quarter in Cairo is an ideal place for shopping and enjoying the famous views of the markets, buildings and rooftops. It also contains historical places and popular cafes that attract local and foreign visitors.
The city of the dead (the cemeteries), is one of the very poor neighborhoods in Cairo, which has grown up around ancient cemeteries. In recent decades, many poor and homeless families have settled in this place, and now they live among the graves, helping to keep the cemetery in good condition. However, the City of the Dead is not a safe area for tourists, and it is recommended to go with a local person and safe transportation. In general, photos should not be taken, as this can bring unwanted attention and endanger him and others.
