Definitely not street wear! First, in Cairo it would be black in seconds ; second a woman in men's clothing? third, I didn't see local traditional urban women in any style of galebaya - but I may have missed it as there weren't that many local women around and I tended not to take photos in old Cairo. Women's cotton galabeyas, however, were very inexpensive - so maybe some women do wear them.
