EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and experience the magic of Luna Park in Heliopolis, Cairo! This photograph showcases the entrance to the amusement park during the early 1910s, a time when it was a beloved tourist attraction for locals and visitors alike. Luna Park, located in the north-east suburb of Heliopolis, opened its doors to the public in 1911, offering a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. However, the joyous atmosphere was short-lived as the onset of World War I brought about a significant transformation. In 1915, Luna Park was repurposed as an auxiliary hospital for the Australian army. The park's structures were converted to accommodate the wounded soldiers, providing much-needed medical care and relief during the trying times. This image, captured circa 1916, depicts the entrance to Luna Park as it stood during its tenure as a military hospital. The iconic sign, adorned with twinkling lights and the unmistakable image of the crescent moon, still stands proudly, a testament to the park's former glory. In the background, a trolley can be seen making its way along the tracks, adding to the scene's nostalgic charm. The sight of the Entrance to Luna Park in Heliopolis, Cairo, during the World War I era, serves as a poignant reminder of the park's rich history and its role in providing solace and care to the sick and wounded soldiers during a time of conflict.
