Multiple riders on horseback gallop across an open dirt arena surrounded by dense crowds during Al-Mirmah (ألميرماح), a traditional equestrian display performed as part of the Moulid of Sidi Abd al-Rahim al-Qanawi in Qena, Upper Egypt. Riders travel from villages across Qena and surrounding Upper Egyptian provinces, competing to demonstrate horsemanship skills inherited across generations. The Moulid of Sidi Abd al-Rahim al-Qanawi is one of the most significant religious and cultural festivals in Upper Egypt, drawing thousands of participants annually to Qena city.
