A skilled glassblower shapes molten glass using a blowpipe in a traditional workshop in Bab El-Sha'reya, Cairo. The craftsman is exposed to intense heat from the furnace as the glass reaches temperatures exceeding 1000°C during the melting and shaping process. Hand-blown glassmaking (Nafahat El-Zogag) is a historic artisanal craft practiced in old Cairo neighborhoods, producing decorative objects and traditional glassware.
