CAIRO, June 16 (Xinhua) -- The Fustat Pottery City is a famous place for traditional Egyptian pottery making and selling in the Egyptian capital of Cairo.

During a tour to the city, you can find a diverse range of unique and colorful pottery items, including water jars, garden pots, clay lanterns and garden decorations. Nowadays, Egyptian pottery workshops in the city suffer from slow business due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
