Dark tourism is a definition encompassing the visiting of places associated with death, torture, battlefields, places where famous people died, cemeteries and exhibitions showing cadavers. This was always a part of culture, although recently there has been an increased interest of tourists and scientists. It combines not only travel and death but is often used ideologically. Also of interest are the various forms of tourism which are involved with death and the motivations of the tourists who are fascinated by them. Both of them are largely generated by the prevailing general culture - especially by the mass media - whereby death has become an element of consumption and another attraction on the tourism market.

The aim of the article is to introduce readers to the issue of the possible development of thanatourism in the area of Cairo, which nowadays becomes a more and more popular form of cultural tourism. The article consists of three parts. The first one describes thanatourism as a form of travelling. In the second part the emphasis is on the presentation of the Cairo's City of the Dead, more and more frequently visited by tourists. These are two cemeteries where people have to live with ‘the dead' in tombs (all because of the poverty prevailing in this country). The author also presented other places and constructions which can become of interest to tourists seeking contact with death, such as pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. The third part of the article presents the results of the research survey.
