A male street vendor walks along the stone waterfront of Al-Manshiya (المنشية), Alexandria, carrying a large bunch of multicolored balloons against a warm golden sunset sky. Visitors and families are seated on the stepped stone embankment in the background, with the Alexandria city skyline and Mediterranean Sea visible across the water. Balloon vendors (باعة البالونات) are a common sight along Alexandria's Corniche, particularly during evening hours when families gather at the seafront.
