Madam Lucie, an 88-year-old manicurist expert, poses for a picture at her manicure shop in downtown Cairo on November 18, 2024. Nestled in a hidden alley off a bustling thoroughfare in the heart of the Egyptian capital sits an unassuming little manicure shop concealing a historic legacy. But decades ago, the shop's seats were occupied by the likes of Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz, international singing sensation Dalida and cinematic heartthrob Omar Sharif, all of whom sought the now 88-year-old manicurist's expert hand.
