Old neighbourhood, Aswan
Feb 16, 2023, 04:16 PM
"A typical old neighborhood in Aswan would be filled with a variety of sounds that reflect the bustling, lively atmosphere of daily life. Some of the sounds you might hear include:
- Children playing and laughing in the streets or the sounds of animals, such as chickens, goats, and donkeys, roaming the streets.
- The call to prayer from local mosques, echoing through the neighborhood several times a day, and people chatting and socializing in the open air, as many homes have large courtyards that serve as gathering places.
- Vendors selling their goods at the market, shouting out to attract customers.
Together, these sounds create a unique and lively atmosphere that is characteristic of the traditional Nubian culture of Aswan."
