An intense heatwave has gripped Egypt, forcing residents to adopt coping measures while disrupting work schedules, tourism, and agriculture across the country.
The soaring temperatures have driven many to seek relief at Red Sea and Mediterranean beaches, where cold drinks and ice cream offer brief respite from the scorching sun.
Vacationer Rania said this year's heat feels harsher than usual, prompting her to adjust daily routines.
"Most of our outings start in the afternoon till late at night. I drink a lot of water and cold drinks, try to avoid direct sun," she said.
While many Egyptians seek relief indoors or at the seaside, others must continue working outdoors in temperatures that soar above 45 degrees Celsius.
