These two projects “Humans of Qasr El Nile” and “Corniche People” are by Mariam El Sayed and Judi Yassin. Street photography is the similar genre between the two projects.The street photographs of the Alexandria's beach and Qasr El Nile provide an intresting look into the different everyday lives of individuals in Egypt's different environments. The streets of Qasr El Nile, which are located in the center of Cairo, are filled with the life of a busy city. The photos show a vibrant environment with a background blend of both modern and old architecture. The life in the cities is characterized by a broad range of crowded marketplaces and historic sites.

On the other hand, Alexandria's beach offers a quite different atmosphere—one that is more peaceful. With the Mediterranean Sea as a the background, the photos depict a unique way of life, with the people engaging in outdoor activities,  and peaceful moments. The activities and lifestyles are just as different from the two places as the actual environment.But despite all of their distinctions, the human experience has a common theme.  Whether through social interactions in Cairo's busy streets or the shared enjoyment of entertainment at the beach in Alexandria, these collections of images capture moments of connection. The way such environments are contrasted draws attention to how diverse Egyptian societies are, with many lifestyles coexisting under the same cultural environment.  These street photographs basically tell a story through images of the contradictions and unity that people in Egypt experience on a daily basis, giving the viewers a social structure of Cairo. I don’t believe that anything could be done to improve those pictures.

pyramids show authenticity.
