This vintage photograph, taken in the late 19th century, depicts the Well of the Magi near Bethlehem, a significant historical landmark in the Holy Land of Palestine, now Israel. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the early days of tourism in this ancient city.

The well, with its intricately designed arch and ancient stone structure, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. The photograph captures the bustling scene around the well, with people from all walks of life gathered together.
