A young boy dressed in the traditional uniform of an Al-Azhar religious school — a blue galabiya (Galabeya) and a white-and-red Azhari cap — stands in the doorway of a school building in Qena, Upper Egypt. Al-Azhar schools are part of Egypt's oldest and most prominent Islamic educational institution, providing religious and academic curricula to students across Egypt. The green-painted school building and archway visible in the background are characteristic of public Azhari school architecture found in Upper Egyptian governorates.
