This is a strange place to visit. Rubbish city as it's known is in a Christian section of Cairo. Most of Cairo is fairly dirty but this place is REALLY dirty. A large amount of the rubbish Cairo generates ends up here where it is sorted by hand and recycled. Amongst it all is a Christian mission looking after girls who have been on the street. They recycle paper and make cards, pictures and other paper products. Above the rubbish they also have a quite amazing Christian church that seats about 10,000! Many statues around as well. A little off the main tourist trail of pyramids and museums but worth the effort.
