City of the Dead: Stories Beyond the Walls
Step into one of Cairo’s most fascinating and least understood places
Discover a side of Cairo that many visitors never get to see.
On this slow-paced walking tour, we explore Cairo’s Northern cemetery, also known as the City of the Dead, through its Mamluk monuments, local stories, living traditions, and the people who continue to give this historic landscape its soul. It’s a living neighborhood where history, architecture and daily life exist side by side.

I went on several walks around Cairo with the team of Walk like an Egyptian. The guides speak English very well and the information combines history and fun facts. If you are in Cairo, it is a must.

Amazing Experience
I usually don’t write reviews but definitely
Walk like an Egyptian deserves this one…
I had an amazing experience and time. I usually have a self walk there and thought I knew quit a bit about it, but this one was totally different… they took us to places I’d never visited, telling us history I’d never known… “Walk like an Egyptian” is recommended if you want to know the amazing stories behind the streets you walk in every day.
THANK YOU WLE , I had a great time and looking forward to doing other tours you offer.

I have done a few outings with Walk Like an Egyptian in Cairo.. I’m already signed up for the next outing! These trips are an incredible way to learn about Cairo and Egypt’s history, and they make the city feel more manageable — not an easy task. The small group setting and repeat attendees makes it feel more like a group of friends than a tour group, and the mix of foreigners and local Cairenes is fantastic.
