EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from 1953, a glamorous woman in a stylish sundress and sun shades poses on the sandy shore of Alexandria, Egypt's Mediterranean coast. The image, which captures the essence of a bygone era, was sent from an unlikely place: Djeddah, Saudi Arabia. At the time, Saudi religious law strictly prohibited the depiction of women's bare legs, making this scene inconceivable in contemporary Saudi society. The serene setting of the resort, with its elegant hotel in the background, transports us back to the 1950s, an era of glamour and sophistication. The woman's relaxed posture and the gentle waves lapping at the shore create a sense of tranquility and escape. The historical significance of Alexandria as a vibrant cultural hub and the Mediterranean's pearl adds depth to the image, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. Despite the geographical and cultural divide between Alexandria and Djeddah, this photograph serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of the Arab world during the mid-20th century. It also highlights the allure of the Mediterranean, which continues to captivate travelers and dreamers alike. This image is a testament to the power of photography to transport us to different times and places, offering a glimpse into history and the human experience. It is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists within the Arab world and beyond.

It is a valuable historical artifact that invites us to reflect on the past and the complexities of the present.
