Two women work side by side hand-finishing unfired clay pottery vessels inside a traditional pottery workshop in Farastuq village (قرية الفرستق للفخار), Tanta, Gharbia Governorate, Nile Delta. Stacked clay tiles and dozens of unfinished terracotta pots fill the brick-walled workspace, reflecting a living craft tradition passed through generations in the Delta region. Pottery production in Egyptian Delta villages remains a key cottage industry, supplying handmade earthenware used in cooking, storage, and everyday household use across Egypt.
