This unique neighborhood is home to over 90,000 Coptic Christians who have been living and working here for generations by collecting and selling garbage for profit. While the concept may seem unusual to outsiders, for the residents of Garbage City, it is their way of life and livelihood.
Drew explores the neighborhood, meeting locals and learning about their daily routines and traditions. Through his interactions, he provides a fascinating glimpse into the community and sheds light on the challenges and resilience of the people living in Garbage City.
As viewers, we have the opportunity to witness a different side of Cairo and gain a deeper understanding of the diverse cultures and communities that exist within the city.

Zabaleen translated from Arabic is literally "The Garbage People".
Awesome Story DB! Da Best!
It's nice to see the people happily living in garbage city. But I don't think I can spend a single day in that city. Certain smells I can't stand.
love your positive energy and positive approach, I also wonder how these people will roll in another 10 years from now. Do they make their own petrol out of plastics?
This was such an eye-opening video! It’s amazing how the community in Garbage City has built a unique way of life. Thanks for sharing this insightful journey!

Eres grande hermano ❤ gracias por mostrar al 🌎 mundo tus viajes.
اي الفضايح دي يا جماعة ؟
That's almost like the Phillipines Drew youre familiar with it aren't you?
I'm from Egypt, but not this side of Egypt. I live in an urban area where politicians and the wealthy elite live, but there isn't a single piece of garbage on the floor. It's sad that a huge portion of egyptians live in slums while an hour away someone's busy sipping imported wine on a rooftop restaurant, oblivious to the struggles just beyond their view.
Its like Gachiakuta setting. 😉
Community really can help people survive the worst of situations.
This is where rich countries like America send "recycling".
Good job! Do you miss Afghanistan ? I heard its safe to go to Herat via a tour guide there now. Hope you go there again. Its my hometown.
que triste que gastes miles de dolares en equipo, camaras y guardaespaldas solo para ir a lugares pobres para generar clics y beneficiarte economicamente a costas del sufrimiento ajeno. A ti te parecera maloliente y sucio por que tienes agua caliente y viajas en primera clase. Me desuscribo
Muy parecido a sudamerica 🗑️
Dang and I thought Los Angeles was bad, didn't know such place existed on this planet.
Thankyou very much brother…Your videos are amazing and very informative. I also loved your book "Just go". I am still reading it and it's absolutely amazing!!!!
These people need Wall-E….
Another run down place with nice people. Someone could have helped them. But I guess drew was too busy.
Im wondering what these ppl need to make their work easier and more proficient? That way, if someone wants to donate, then we'd know
Egypt sounds like one of those larger than life places but then this is a reminder that the country has its own issues going on as well beyond the tourist spots. Thanks for covering this story Drew!
i studied abroad in egypt for a semester and egyptians are the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. so lovely and excited to share their language and culture. makes it so easy to start learning arabic. they really love their culture and love when foreigners enjoy it too. highly highly recommend going to egypt.
I visited Garbage City & the cave church in 2015. It is an experience I will never forget. I have always wondered why they’re not more well known. Thank you for sharing
Me complaining about the small trash I see on the sidewalk of my city.
Ne pas manger du porc chez les Arabes c'est noté
Nice video
Egyptian: If they found gold they returns.
Me: Really 😂
This is where all the Jamie Oliver customer throw his food to, they make city out of it
