Water carriers, Nile

Date
  • 1900/1940
Description
  • The Sakka, or water-carrier, with his goatskin of water, carried either by himself or by a donkey, still plies his trade in Cairo, although the water works supply every house in the city, as well as the public sebils (fountains) with water, and though on many houses there are brass tubes through which passers-by may take a draught from the main pipes.
