Pottery Makers in Qena Preserve Pharaohs' Legacy as a Livelihood and Traditional Skill
Pottery making in Qena, which dates back thousands of years and is linked to the Pharaonic era, still continues and remains a livelihood for many families. Craftsmen use clay sourced from specific locations and shape it on a manual wheel to create items such as azeri (water jars) and tagines. The pieces are then dried and fired in high-temperature kilns to become ready for use. Despite technological advancements, the craft relies on manual labor and is passed down through generations. The azeri, in particular, enjoys great popularity during the summer months for its ability to cool water.
