The image displays an active urban street scene in Qudsaiya, Syria, recorded on September 18, 2025, at 18:08. A gathering of approximately fifteen to twenty males, ranging from boys to adult men, occupies the foreground and mid-ground, engaged in what appears to be a public performance or celebration. The central group is largely dressed in a distinctive uniform: white long-sleeved shirts with black embroidered designs, dark long skirts or wide pants, reddish sashes around the waist, and white knitted skullcaps. Some individuals in this group also wear black fringed stoles draped over their shoulders. Actions within this group include multiple individuals clapping, while others play musical instruments. Specifically, at least two men are seen playing darbuka-style drums, and one man, dressed in a light-colored shirt and blue jeans, is playing a brass saxophone. This saxophonist is positioned slightly above the main group. The scene is set in front of two illuminated commercial establishments. On the left, a prominent, brightly lit sign identifies "ماكولات زيتا ونزهي" (Zaita & Nazhi Foods), displaying images of fast-food items such as fried chicken and burgers. Adjacent to it on the right is "بن السور" (Bin Al-Sur), a coffee shop, indicated by its circular and rectangular illuminated signs. Various other individuals, including children and adults, are visible as onlookers or customers in the background, near the shop entrances and on the street. The buildings are multi-story, and overhead wiring is visible. The overall lighting suggests early evening, with artificial light from the shop signs contributing significantly to the illumination of the scene.
