A dark blue Hantour (حنطور), a traditional Egyptian horse-drawn carriage, is parked along the Nile Corniche in Garden City, Cairo, near prominent Nile-facing hotels. The Hantour is a historic mode of transport that has served Cairo's waterfront and tourist areas for over a century, and remains an iconic symbol of old Cairo street life. Palm trees and large hotel towers are visible in the background under a dusk sky, placing the scene in one of Cairo's most upscale riverside neighborhoods.
