Black and white photograph of a narrow pedestrian alley in Al-Gamaliya, Historic Cairo, flanked by aged stone buildings reinforced with iron scaffolding and structural support beams used for architectural conservation. Pedestrians walk beneath the metal framework as strong directional shadows fall across the stone-paved ground, emphasizing the depth and linear geometry of the passage. Al-Gamaliya is one of Cairo's oldest and most densely preserved medieval quarters, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage area, where ongoing structural reinforcement works are common to protect centuries-old Mamluk and Fatimid-era buildings.
