Shaabi Beaches is a unique photography book by Roger Anis documenting beach culture in Egypt's public beaches.
The word 'Shaabi' in Arabic cannot be translated into one word in English. It references social class, standards, popularity, behaviour, culture, and traditional communities. While economic strain hits many in the country financially, Egyptians always find a way of spending at least one day of summer on the beach. Many travel for hours away from their cities and villages in buses, trains, and all kinds of transportation just to get a feel of the sand on their feet and the salty water on their bodies.
This limited edition self-published book is full of colours, patterns and portraits of people smiling by the sea before returning to harsh inland life.
Each copy is numbered and signed by Roger.
