A male performer plays a handheld drum (tabla) into a microphone while operating colorful Aragoz (أراجوز) puppets at a live traditional performance inside Beit El-Sehemy, a historic Ottoman-era house in Al-Gamaleya, Cairo. The Aragoz is Egypt's oldest form of puppet theater, a recognized intangible cultural heritage tradition featuring a jester character dressed in a pointed hat and vibrant embroidered costume. Beit El-Sehemy regularly hosts traditional Egyptian performing arts events within its historic courtyard.
