A thick dust cloud fills the air during Al-Mirmaah (المِرماح), a traditional Arab equestrian folk heritage event held in rural villages of Upper Egypt, captured here in Qena at sunset. Al-Mirmaah is a longstanding equestrian tradition tied to community celebrations and Moulid (موالد) religious festivals, reflecting the deep cultural identity of Upper Egyptian society. Palm trees and village structures are visible through the haze, characteristic of the Saidi countryside landscape.
