Eid al-Fitr Gathering with Sweets in Benha Square

Golden hour light floods the public square in Benha, casting long, sharp shadows across the paved ground. Families sit on low cushions arranged in a perfect symmetrical grid, surrounded by trays of golden baklava and sugar-dusted pastries. Men wear crisp white thobes while women in modest abayas gather near the center. The sky above holds a clear gradient of orange and soft violet. Dust motes hang still in the warm beams. In the foreground, a ceramic plate reflects the fading sun, its rim catching the last ray of daylight before the evening sets in.
