EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty of Marine Side in Suez, Egypt during the 1900s. The serene waters of the Suez Canal reflect the sun-kissed sky, as traditional sailing boats glide effortlessly along, their sails billowing in the gentle breeze. The tranquil scene is a stark contrast to the bustling activity that once characterized this important port city. Established in the late 19th century, Marine Side was a popular destination for travelers and merchants alike, who came to Suez in search of trade opportunities and adventure. The Suez Canal, which connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, played a crucial role in global commerce, making Suez a vital link between Europe, Asia, and Africa. The sailing boats in this photograph are likely local fishing vessels or dhows, which have been a part of the Red Sea's maritime culture for centuries. Their simple, elegant design allows them to navigate the waters with ease, adapting to the ever-changing conditions of the sea. As you gaze at this image, you can almost hear the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore and the creaking of the boats' wooden hulls. The peaceful atmosphere transports you back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Marine Side and the Suez Canal during the 1900s.
