A documentary photograph capturing three young herder boys sitting closely together beside their cattle in the livestock market of Sayeda Zeinab, Cairo, during the Eid al-Adha season. The scene reflects a quiet and human moment inside one of Cairo’s busiest cattle markets, where traders and herders arrive from different Egyptian governorates to sell livestock ahead of the holiday. Despite the dust, noise, and challenging conditions of the market, the boys share laughter and companionship while watching over their animals. Their presence highlights the strong connection between rural life, livestock trade, and family traditions that continue across generations in Egypt. The photograph documents not only the seasonal movement of cattle and traders, but also the friendships and everyday moments formed within the atmosphere of the market.
