An Egyptian fanous (lantern) maker is producing his lanterns with acrylic posters of celebrities in hopes of guarding local lantern production against competition from China, Reuters reports. Working out of his shop in Imbaba, Mohamed Gamal adorns his fawanees with the familiar faces of figures like President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, footballer Mohamed Salah, and even Abla Fahita. He tells the newswire that he wants to see his modern version of the traditional fanous reverse the trend of importing large quantities of lanterns from China, and instead have Egypt begin to export them.
