Highlight
Many Coptic Christians populate this incredible "Garbage City" in Cairo. They collect the city's trash and sort out the recyclables to sell and make a living. The bags are in the streets, in the buildings, on the roofs, and balconies. A very different way of life most of us could never imagine.
