Shot through the glass shopfront of a small tailor shop in Kom El Dikka, Alexandria, this image captures an elderly tailor — the shop's namesake Sayed Arafa — ironing clothes inside. The Arabic shop name 'سيد عرفة' is painted in gold lettering on the glass, creating a layered visual effect that merges the street reflection with the worker inside. The scene documents traditional small-scale tailoring and ironing trade (makkagi) common in Alexandria's older commercial neighborhoods.
