An Egyptian fish vendor sits on the dockside at the fish market (Halaqet El Samak) in Ezbet El Borg, Damietta Governorate, displaying fresh daily catch of shrimp and mixed fish arranged on ice on a flat stone surface. Blue-hulled fishing boats are moored directly behind him, typical of the working harbor along the Damietta branch of the Nile and its Mediterranean outlet. Damietta is one of Egypt's most important fishing and seafood trading cities, with Ezbet El Borg serving as a major hub for small-scale fishermen and harbourside vendors.
