A vintage yellow-and-black Lada taxi — the iconic Egyptian street cab — travels along the Alexandria Corniche (El Kornish), with pedestrians walking beside the Mediterranean Sea waterfront wall at dusk. The Alexandria Corniche is one of the longest seafront promenades in the Arab world, stretching along the northern edge of the city. This scene captures everyday urban life in Alexandria, Egypt's second-largest city and historic Mediterranean port founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC.
