Manshiyat Naser aka Garbage City - a slum whose economy is dependent on sorting and recycling Cairo’s garbage. Although the area has streets, shops and apartments as others areas of the city, it lacks any infrastructure and often has no running water, sewage, or electricity. As a passerby walks or drives down the road he will see large rooms stacked with garbage with men, women or children crouching and sorting the garbage into unsellable or sellable. Families typically specialize in a particular type of garbage they sort and sell — one room of children sorting out plastic bottles, while the next of women separating cans from the rest.
