Cairo Characters: A Glimpse into the Colorful World of Cairo's Travel Industry in the 1930s This photograph print transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Cairo during the 1930s, offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of characters that once catered to the needs of travelers exploring the exotic allure of Egypt. At the top left, a young page boy, dressed in traditional Egyptian attire, stands attentively, ready to assist his master with a smile. Next to him, a porter, strong and sturdy, wears a simple white galabeya and carries a large load on his head, a common sight in the bustling markets and train stations. At the center, the dragomans, or guides, are depicted in their long, flowing robes, their faces veiled to protect themselves from the harsh desert sun. These knowledgeable men played a crucial role in navigating travelers through the labyrinthine streets of Cairo and ensuring their safety and comfort. Below the dragomans, a carriage attendant, dressed in a flamboyant uniform, stands proudly next to a horse-drawn carriage. His vibrant attire, adorned with intricate embroidery and gold braid, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the era. Finally, at the bottom right, a suffraghi, or waiter, is shown in his flowing skirts, serving refreshments to weary travelers. His graceful movements and attentive demeanor are a testament to the impeccable hospitality that was a hallmark of Egyptian culture during this period. This photograph print offers a fascinating glimpse into the diverse and colorful world of Cairo's travel industry during the 1930s, a time when the city was a popular destination for intrepid travelers seeking adventure and discovery.
