Two fishermen sit on the ground beside a worn wooden boat hull on Borollus Island (Gezira El Borollos), Kafr El Sheikh, Egypt, repairing and hand-weaving fishing nets surrounded by scattered bamboo reeds. This traditional craft of net-making and repair, known locally as 'talsi el shabak', is an essential daily practice for fishing communities along Lake Borollus, one of Egypt's largest coastal lagoons on the Mediterranean. The scene reflects the working life and traditional fishing heritage of the Nile Delta region.
