This work is in the public domain in Egypt as per Intellectual Property Law 82 of 2002 because it meets one of the following conditions:

It is a photographic or cinematographic work that lacks the characteristics of a creative work (i.e., it simply reproduces reality mechanically) that was first published more than 15 years ago (i.e., as of 2024, before 2009).
It is a work of applied art, and was published or made available to the public for the first time (whichever date comes first) more than 25 years ago (i.e., as of 2024, before 1999). (Art. 164)
It is an official document (such as a law, regulation, court decision, etc…), regardless of its source or target language. (Art. 141)
It is considered part of national folklore. (Art. 142)
It is a posthumous or anonymous work that was published or made available to the public for the first time (whichever date comes first) more than 50 years ago (i.e., as of 2024, before 1974). (Art. 162–163)
It is another type of work, whose author died more than 50 years ago (i.e., as of 2024, before 1974). (Art. 160)

The 15-year term of copyright for photographic and cinematographic non-creative works is not mentioned in the text of the law per se, but is referred to in official guidelines which can be found online (in Arabic) on the World Intellectual Property Organization website.
