An elderly Egyptian tailor, wearing glasses and a traditional white galabiya (galabeya), operates a heavily worn vintage industrial sewing machine inside a small traditional workshop in Esna, Upper Egypt. The workshop walls show aged, peeling paint and are decorated with old papers and clippings, reflecting the long-established craft tradition of local tailoring in Upper Egyptian towns. This image documents Egyptian artisan culture and the enduring presence of traditional hand-operated tailoring workshops across Esna and similar towns in Upper Egypt.
