Welcome to Garbage City in Cairo, Egypt! It's a neighborhood of more than 90,000 Coptic Christians, who have been living here and collecting garbage (to sell for profit) for nearly a century. While it may seem strange to you, it is their livelihood, and meeting the locals and learning about their way of life was fascinating. Thank you for watching, and if you're reading this (do people read YouTube descriptions anymore?!) -- just know that I really appreciate you! Would love to hear from you in the comments about Egypt's Garbage City.
