A male textile worker leans over wooden rods and dye vats handling undyed white yarn or fabric inside a traditional dyeing workshop (masbagha) on Bab El-Wazir Street, Darb Al-Ahmar, Old Cairo. Strong shafts of natural sunlight pierce through openings in the ceiling, illuminating steam and dust above the worker in a scene typical of Cairo's surviving artisan craft quarters. Traditional textile dyeing in Old Cairo dates back centuries and remains an active trade in the historic Darb Al-Ahmar district, one of Cairo's oldest and most preserved craft neighborhoods.
