Garbage City, part of Manshiyat Naser in Cairo, is home to the Zabbaleen, a community that has managed much of Cairo’s waste for decades.

Most residents are Coptic Christian and have faced long-standing stigma and poor infrastructure despite p

EarthPix 🌎 Travel on Instagram: "@surreal_traveler This is Garbage City in Cairo – where an entire community survives by recycling the city’s trash. Known as the Zabbaleen, they process over 85% of what they collect – more than many modern cities. Despite tough conditions, their work is both essential and inspiring. Would you ever visit a place like this?"
