A male performer wearing a red tarboush (fez) operates a traditional Aragoz (أراجوز) hand puppet dressed in a colorful embroidered costume during a live folk performance inside Beit El-Sehemy, a historic Ottoman-era house on Al-Moez Street, Cairo. The Aragoz is one of Egypt's oldest forms of street theater and puppetry, traditionally performed at festivals, Moulids (موالد), and cultural celebrations. The intimate stone-walled indoor venue highlights the heritage character of this 17th-century Cairene merchant house, which regularly hosts traditional performing arts events.
