5 North Africa-Based Instagram Accounts We Really Like Right Now

Momken Bokra&rsquos (@momkenbokra) collection isn&rsquot a photography account in the strictest sense it&rsquos more of a Cairo moodboard. From weird graffiti to questionable signs, it&rsquos an ode to the unintentional humour and confusing beauty found in urban landscapes where people are only incidental.

Tunis&rsquo medina and the blue-white beauty of Sidi Bou Said are our most common memories of Tunisia, but Mohamed Ameur Hallouli (@halloulii) goes the extra mile to show its hidden nooks, customs and flavours. Featuring rich blacks, richer patterns and oodles of natural light, it&rsquos an unpredictable collection that&rsquos sure to leave a smile on your face.

Addis Ababa&rsquos many moods come alive in the hands of Eyerusalem Jiregna (@eyerusalem_a_jiregna). In a feed that&rsquos as intriguing as her name, we spot indigenous art, clothing and festivities, not to mention stellar lessons in timing. Ethiopia as a canvas is unapologetically bright, and Jiregna, a fashion designer, weaves the fabric of her homeland into crisp portraits and evocative scenes. You&rsquoll spot parallels in her work with Indian street photography doesn&rsquot this image remind you of the ghats of Varanasi

Mellow yellows and an analogue-style tint colour Ricci Shryock&rsquos (@ricci_s) Senegal. The journalist is fascinated by rebels and revolutionaries, but her feed seems more the stylish, slice-of-life sort.
