Assouan Assuan Aswan Bisharin Encampment Fencing Fight Match Nomadic Nomads Shield Tent Tribesmen Bishari Weapons
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, Bisharin tribesmen of Aswan, Egypt, engage in a traditional fencing match, showcasing their exceptional agility and skill. The Bisharin, also known as the Beja or Bishari people, are a nomadic tribe originally from the northern regions of Sudan and Egypt. Historically, they have been known for their pastoralist and semi-nomadic way of life, roaming the desert landscapes with their livestock. The Bisharin tribesmen are depicted here in their vibrant and intricately patterned clothing, adorned with various accessories and jewelry. Each man holds a traditional shield, crafted from animal hide and reinforced with wooden frames, as well as a spear or a knobkerrie – a short, heavy club with a bulbous end. The fencing match, which is a significant part of their cultural heritage, serves not only as a form of physical training but also as a way to strengthen social bonds and resolve disputes. The scene takes place within a temporary encampment, with tents pitched nearby and the vast, arid landscape stretching out in the background. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the Bisharin people and the North African region. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of these nomadic tribes, who have managed to preserve their unique customs despite the passage of time and the challenges of their environment.
