About this asset

An Egyptian craftsman wearing a traditional Galabeya (Galabeyat) presses men's garments using a large, heavy charcoal iron (Mekwa El-Fahm), a traditional pre-electric pressing tool still used in some Upper Egypt workshops. Multiple hanging Galabeyas in various colors — blue, grey, brown, and white — are visible on racks in the background of a small clothing shop in Esna, Luxor. This traditional ironing technique (Kawi Baladi) requires significant physical effort and reflects a disappearing craft in Egyptian textile trade.
