EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, we witness the beginning of an ancient tradition as Bedouin and Fellaheen pilgrims embark on their annual journey to the sacred tombs of Abu Seri A in Egypt. Dating back thousands of years, this pilgrimage takes place in the desert, approximately 40 miles east of Helwan. The pilgrims, a mix of mounted and those traveling on foot, come from all corners of Egypt to gather at the great Wady Abu Salama, or the Valley of Greeting. The Valley of Greeting serves as the starting point for the arduous trek to the tombs, which are located deep in the desert. The pilgrims, many of whom travel with their families, make this journey out of deep respect for the spiritual significance of the site. The exact beliefs and reasons behind the pilgrimage are not fully understood, but it is believed that the tombs of Abu Seri A hold great religious significance for the people of Egypt. The scene depicted in this photograph is reminiscent of the timeless tradition of pilgrimages, which have been a part of human history for thousands of years. The desert landscape, with its vast expanses of sand and rock, adds to the sense of isolation and spirituality that surrounds this ancient practice. The photograph captures the determination and resolve of the pilgrims as they set out on their journey, carrying with them the hopes and dreams of their community. This photograph, taken in 1914, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Egypt and the deep-rooted beliefs and traditions that continue to shape the lives of its people. The Pilgrimage to Abu Seri A remains an enduring symbol of the human spirit and the power of faith to bring people together, despite the challenges and hardships of the journey.
