This print captures a scene from Egypt, Cairo in the year 1900. On the Nile side, sweepers can be seen taking a break and sitting on the sidewalk as they enjoy smoking shisha. The traditional hookah pipes are a common sight in this bustling city, adding to the rich cultural tapestry of North Africa.
The image showcases not only the daily life of Egyptians at that time but also highlights the ease and relaxation found by indulging in tobacco products like shisha. The men's traditional costumes add to the authenticity of this street scene, giving us a glimpse into their way of life over a century ago.
As tourists cruise along the river, they may catch sight of locals going about their daily routines - such as these sweepers taking a moment to unwind with some shisha. This photograph serves as a window into history, capturing moments that may seem ordinary yet hold great significance when viewed through the lens of time.
From laborers to smokers, from tradition to modernity, this print encapsulates various aspects of Egyptian society in the early 20th century. It is a reminder of how much has changed since then while also celebrating timeless customs and practices that continue to shape Egypt's identity today.
