The Prince of Wales in Egypt: the Royal Party landing on the Arabian coast, on their... 1862. Creator: Unknown
The Prince of Wales in Egypt: the Royal Party landing on the Arabian coast, on their way to the Wells of Moses, 1862. The future King Edward VII in Africa. Whilst his Royal Highness was at Suez a small steamer was placed at his disposal by the Egyptian Government, in which the Royal party crossed over to Ain Mousseh (the Wells of Moses), on the Arabian coast. They had not left the harbour of Suez far behind when they encountered the Peninsular Company's steam-packet Salsette, arriving with her usual freight of passengers and mails from Bombay. The little boat that carried his Royal Highness was very speedily recognised; as quickly did the sides and rigging of the Salsette swarm with her passengers and crew, and three hearty cheers rang forth, such, of a certainty, as the ancient shores of the Red Sea had never heard before. The shore on the Arabian coast being very shallow, the boats could not get within some fifty yards of the dry land. Mr. West had, however, taken the precaution of sending over his own horses to await the Prince's arrival. But his Royal Highness preferred walking on shore, then mounted, and rode to the wells. After an hour or two's rest the whole party returned to the steamer and to Suez'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in the travels of the future King Edward VII, as he and his royal party make their way to the shores of the Arabian coast in Egypt, in 1862. The Prince of Wales, accompanied by a small Egyptian government steamer, is seen making landfall on the Red Sea, en route to the Wells of Moses. The excitement of the occasion is palpable, as the Salsette, a steam-packet from Bombay, approaches the scene, its passengers and crew eager to welcome the royal visitors with hearty cheers. The shallow waters of the Arabian coast necessitated that the boats could not get close to the shore, but the Prince, ever the adventurous spirit, disembarked and mounted a horse waiting on the beach. After a brief rest at the Wells of Moses, the royal party returned to their steamer and continued their journey back to Suez. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and excitement of a royal visit to Egypt during the 19th century. The future King Edward VII's travels to Africa were a significant event, and this image captures the essence of the adventure and the warm welcome extended to the royal party by the local populace.
