Men gather at an outdoor cafe table in the narrow pedestrian alleys of Khan El Khalili (خان الخليلي), the historic bazaar in the Al-Gamaliya district of Islamic Cairo. The alley is decorated with colorful hanging lanterns and festive string lights, typical of the market's lively evening atmosphere. Khan El Khalili has been a major commercial and cultural hub since the Mamluk era, attracting both locals and visitors to its cafes, craft shops, and traditional goods.
