| MKEG_DC28 Medina Meyed is the central cemetery of Cairo where except the dead rest some thousands of alive people. Families with many children, homeless, watchmen, as well as immigrants coexist with the sleeping souls and their bones... Some of the grave inhabitants are guardians of their tomb-houses, buriers, housekeepers of the tombs, while others want to live and die near their ancestors. Earthquake victims expatriated from Sadad‘s and Mubaraq‘s governments, debtors and unemployed make up the majority of Medina Meyet dwellers.
The oldest grave constructions of the most alive cemetery in the world were built by the Mamluks, circa 1250-1517.
