Before and After: Stunning images show the transformation of a dilapidated room at the hands of a young Upper Egyptian in Cairo

CAIRO - 27 July 2021: A 24-year-old from Upper Egypt came to the busy capital of Cairo to find something. A job, better education, or even himself.

It's the same nice ol' story of a young man who strives and then thrives. But this one is more visually appealing than most.

Taha Abeed moved to Cairo and rented a small, abandoned room on a roof. The room ramshackle and almost falling apart, only to come back to life at the hands of Abeed. The artistry can be seen in this album of before and after. All photo courtesy goes to Abeed.
