A young horseman dressed in a traditional Upper Egyptian galabiya and scarf charges forward on a decorated horse during the Mirmah (ميرماح), a traditional equestrian display held annually at the Moulid of Sidi Abd al-Rahim al-Qanawi in Qena, Upper Egypt. Motion blur captures the speed of the galloping horse as the rider holds a long lance, with a large crowd of spectators visible in the background against a sandy urban backdrop at golden hour. The Mirmah is a living heritage tradition in which riders from villages across Qena and surrounding Upper Egyptian provinces compete to demonstrate horsemanship, courage, and ancestral pride, performed to the rhythms of drums and the Mizmar Baladi (مزمار بلدي), the traditional folk oboe of Upper Egypt.
