EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1933, showcases Amina, an educated and emancipated tour guide from Cairo, Egypt, proudly standing before the tomb of the Mamelukes. Amina, dressed in a Western-style blouse and skirt, is a testament to the changing times in Egypt during the 1930s. As one of the new generation of tour guides, Amina was part of a growing movement of Muslim women who were breaking free from traditional roles and embracing modernity. Her presence in this male-dominated industry was a significant step towards gender equality and women's liberation in Egypt. The tomb of the Mamelukes, located in the Necropolis of El-Shamis, is a historical site that holds great significance in Egyptian history. It is the final resting place of the Mamelukes, who were once powerful military slaves who rose to become princes and rulers of Egypt. Amina's knowledgeable and passionate guidance brought history to life for travelers from around the world, providing them with an authentic and enriching experience of Egyptian culture. Her Westernized appearance, while striking, did not detract from her ability to connect with the ancient history of her country. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the transformative period in Egypt's history, where tradition met modernity, and women like Amina paved the way for a more inclusive and liberated society. The image captures the essence of travel in the 1930s, where adventure, discovery, and personal growth were the driving forces behind exploration.
