The exotic murals of Burullus

CAIRO - 12 September 2017: Burullus town in Kafr El-Sheikh governorate in the Nile Delta region has always been famous for fishing. In recent years, it became famous for one more reason; art.

In the last four years, Burullus has been hosting an annual mural painting festival that aims to put the small town on Egypt’s tourism map. Thanks to this festival, artists from Egypt and other countries flock to the fishing town to decorate its walls with art.

The murals are basically inspired by the fishing culture of the town, as well as the ancient Egyptian heritage.
