A street vendor sells roasted sweet potatoes (batata) from a small cart fitted with a charcoal roaster on Sudan Street (Sharia El Sudan), Cairo, surrounded by a crowd of uniformed schoolchildren and pedestrians. The scene, captured during after-school hours, reflects the everyday street food culture common in popular Cairo neighborhoods. Roasted sweet potato vendors are a staple of Egyptian street life, particularly during the cooler months, and are a familiar sight near schools and busy thoroughfares across Greater Cairo.
