A male street vendor tends to a load of freshly roasted sweet potatoes (Batata Mashwiya) displayed on a traditional charcoal-fired metal cart on a local street in Old Cairo (Masr El Qadima), near El Khayamiya. Roasted sweet potato carts are a common and iconic sight on Cairo streets, especially in cooler months, representing an affordable everyday street food deeply embedded in Egyptian urban culture. The surrounding residential buildings and narrow street reflect the dense, historic character of Old Cairo.
