EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling energy of Commercial Street, also known as Chareh-el-Tegara, in the Egyptian city of Port Said. Established as a major trading hub in the late 19th century due to its strategic location at the northern terminus of the Suez Canal, Port Said became a melting pot of diverse cultures and commerce. In this image, we see a lively scene of activity on the street, with horse-drawn carts and a tram making their way through the throngs of people. Shops and stalls line the street, offering a variety of goods for import and export. Among the wares on display are cigarettes, chops, and other local delicacies. The Suez Canal, a vital artery of global trade, is visible in the background, with ships anchored at the port, waiting to continue their journeys to far-off destinations. The historical significance of this location is palpable, with the elegant El-Suez Hotel and the imposing lighthouse adding to the sense of grandeur and importance. Despite the passage of time and the many changes that have taken place in Port Said, this photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant commercial life of this North African city. The horse-drawn carts and traditional shops may have given way to modern modes of transportation and commerce, but the spirit of trade and exchange that once defined this bustling street remains a testament to the enduring allure of Port Said and its role in the global trading network.
