An elderly Egyptian tailor (Tarzi) wearing a white galabiya and reading glasses operates a heavily worn vintage Singer sewing machine, guiding suit fabric through the machine in a cluttered traditional workshop in Esna, Upper Egypt. The workshop features weathered green wooden furniture, scattered fabric cuts, and sewing tools, reflecting decades of active craft trade. This image documents Egypt's surviving artisan tailoring culture, where hand-operated Singer machines remain in daily use across small workshops in Upper Egyptian towns.
