1. The Cave Church At the end of 1969 his Excellency the governor of Cairo issued a decree to the end of removing all the trash collectors of Cairo to one of the hills of the Mokattam to live there. So they built themselves primitive houses, simply huts of tin that are called in their vernacular "Zaraayib" (namely pigsties). They were thus named after the place where donkeys and pigs live, and all the other livestock they reared up; such as goats and cattle. The number of the trash collectors that live in that area reached about 15,000 according to the research of the International Bank which was carried out in July, 1987. But, by the grace of God, this number has doubled now. Every person had a primitive trash cart that looked like a wooden box carried on two wheels and pulled by two donkeys, or more, because of the difficult hill up to the mountain which was not paved in the past.

About Cairo

O Cairo, a vasta capital do Egito junto ao Nilo, onde as pirâmides de Gizé se juntam a mesquitas medievais, bazares animados e tesouros dos faraós.

No limite ocidental da cidade, as pirâmides de Gizé e a Grande Esfinge erguem-se do planalto desértico, com a pirâmide escalonada de Saqqara e as ruínas de Mênfis mais a sul. Os grandes museus do Cairo, o Museu Egípcio na Praça Tahrir e o vasto Grande Museu Egípcio junto ao planalto, guardam peças que abrangem milhares de anos.
