Press release
Egypt Press Photo Exhibition is a group exhibition of photojournalism at The Photographic Gallery, Abdul Latif Jameel Hall. The gallery is on the New Cairo campus of the American University in Cairo. It runs from 17 September to 22 October 2026.
The gallery writes: "This year's exhibition highlights the spot news that dominated headlines throughout 2025." Subjects include the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum and the decommissioning of Alexandria's tram network. Others are the fires that struck Cairo's communications infrastructure and severe flooding in southern Egypt. According to the gallery, the photographs reveal "the subtle, seemingly benign, yet ultimately irrevocable transformations taking place across the country."
The eleven photographers are Ahmad Gomaa, Ali Faheem, Amira Adel, Karim Abdel Aziz, Maher el-Attar, Mahmoud Abdel Ghany, Mohammad Ashraf, Mostafa Emeira, Ossama Ashour, Shorouk el-Sayed and Yasser Mahmoud. The gallery describes them as "local professional visual storytellers and photojournalists".
The Photographic Gallery belongs to the university's Department of Journalism and Mass Communication. The show is its annual exhibition with the Egypt Press Photo competition. The competition is organised by the Syndicate of Journalists and run by the Photojournalists Collective, and is in its twentieth edition.
