The Wider Image: Living in Cairo's City of the Dead
A woman who lives in the Cairo Necropolis cleans a tomb, outside her home in Cairo, Egypt, October 23, 2015. In the sprawling Cairo Necropolis, known as the City of the Dead, life and death are side by side. Amid a housing crisis in Egypt, and with the population of greater Cairo estimated at about 20 million, people count themselves lucky to have a place to call home in the graveyards that date back hundreds of years.
