Arm yourself with maps and all the information you need for walking through Cairo's famous and ancient Islamic cemeteries, viewing their beautiful monuments, and meeting the people who call these sacred places home.

A special section explores the famous Cairene institutions of Moulids and the famous junk and bird markets. Stroll down the dusty streets of Cairo, learn more about the rich history of an entire region, and meet amazing people as you begin Walking in the City of the Dead.
