About this asset
An Egyptian craftsman known locally as Uncle Hussein irons traditional long robes (Galabeyas) using a manual iron at his small clothing shop in Esna, Luxor. Multiple Galabeyas hang on racks in the background beneath a bamboo ceiling, reflecting the simple interior of a traditional Upper Egyptian tailor and ironing shop. Uncle Hussein is one of the few remaining craftsmen keeping this trade alive in Esna, a historic city on the west bank of the Nile in Upper Egypt known for its ancient Khnum Temple.
