Egypt in Pictures: Part 2

I know these photos are about a month old but I'm just now culling through and editing my photos from my time in Egypt.

All the trash in Cairo is collected by the city's Coptic Christians since Muslims
believe it is impure for them to do so. They have a wonderful recycling system
 and end up recycling 80% of Cairo's garbage.
A Coptic cave church in Garbage City. This church was literally
carved out of the stone face of a hill.
