A busy street in Tantah, Egypt, circa 1924. According to a note by Ms. Dora Eunice Giffen,
the pictures were probably taken during the time of 'The Fair' or the "Pilgrimage last spring," when so many thousands were there celebrating the birthday of the "dead Mohammedan saint Sayed el-Bedawi," and that this is part of the procession on the Big Day.

شارع مزدحم في طنطا، مصر، حوالي عام ١٩٢٤. ووفقا لملاحظة السيدة دورا يونيس جيفن، أن الصورة من المحتمل أنها التقطت خلال وقت "المولد"، عندما كان هناك الآلاف يحتفلون بمولد السيد البدوي، وأن هذا جانب من موكب اليوم الكبير. حقوق الصورة: دورا جيفن ومكتبات جامعة ويسكونسن - ميلووكي.
