A documentary photograph capturing the atmosphere of the livestock market in Sayeda Zeinab, Cairo, during the Eid al-Adha season. The scene shows herders and livestock traders sitting beside their cattle, smoking shisha and spending long hours inside the crowded market while waiting for buyers. Traders from different Egyptian governorates travel to Cairo during this period to sell cows, buffaloes, goats, and sheep, often accompanied by family members and children. Despite the exhausting conditions, the market carries a unique social character filled with conversation, hospitality, daily rituals, and spontaneous interaction between people and animals. The image reflects one of Cairo’s oldest and most vibrant seasonal markets, where commerce blends with tradition, companionship, and everyday Egyptian life.
