Three men sit around a round metal table playing dominoes at El-Zayyat ahwa (traditional Egyptian coffeehouse) on Bab El-Wazir Street, Al-Darb Al-Ahmar, Cairo. Tea glasses and a shisha pipe are visible on the table, typical fixtures of a baladi coffeehouse setting. The street-level scene captures everyday male social life in a historic Cairo neighborhood, where ahwas serve as longstanding community gathering spaces.
