A Look at Life in Egypt

A workers carries away dyed yarns at a traditional hand-dying workshop in the Egyptian capital Cairo's centuries old district of Darb al-Ahmar on January 21, 2020. In Cairo's centuries-old Darb al-Ahmar district, Salama Mahmoud Salama's dye workshop is a multi-coloured den of textiles and busy workers colouring all kinds of fabrics. Salama and his relatives lay out the long, flowing threads, which will be used for everything from handmade shoes to rugs and drapes, and dip them in huge, piping-hot colour baths – no gloves or masks protecting them from the dyes and chemical fumes. The workshop in Islamic Cairo has been going strong for over a hundred years. (Photo by Khaled Desouki/AFP Photo)
