The City of Dead, Cairo
Our study case was the cemetery of Al Qarafa in Cairo which calls the attention of people all around the world for the fact that people live in this cemetery. Our first reaction was to be scandalized by this fact, however, after look for the history of the place we realized that we were judging too soon without any knowledge of what is actually happening. This research helped us to understand that the differences in culture and traditions can be so powerful that before trying to understand a place we should try to at least get informed of the culture that the people who lived there have.
