A rider on a rearing black horse performs El Mirmah (المِرماح), a traditional Arab equestrian folk art rooted in the villages of Upper Egypt. The event takes place in an open arena surrounded by spectators, characteristic of Moulid (موالِد) festivals in Qena. El Mirmah represents the deep heritage of horsemanship and martial traditions in Upper Egyptian society, typically held during religious and communal celebrations.
