Stretching for four miles on the outskirts of Cairo, the row housing for the deceased has evolved into a deathly slum.

Some of the Egyptian poor people or were displaced by natural disasters took up residences in old mausoleums, and around the tombs of the necropolis. In total, 500,000 people occupy the necropolis, filling the gaps around the final resting places of 7th century Egyptians.
