A local man with his mule and cart leaves the fields laden with sugarcane near Qurna, a village on the West Bank of Luxor, Nile Valley, Egypt. In Egypt, sugar cane juice is called aseer asab and is by far the most popular drink served by almost all fruit juice vendors, who are abundant in most cities. It is sold by roadside vendors, where the juice is squeezed fresh when ordered. Raw sugar cane juice can be a health risk to drinkers due to the unhygienic conditions under which it is prepared. There are some diseases that can be transmitted by raw sugar-cane like Leptospirosis
