EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene outside Shepheard's Hotel in Cairo, Egypt, in 1908. The image is a snapshot of the vibrant and chaotic world of travel and tourism in Africa at the turn of the 20th century. At the center of the frame, a group of European travellers, dressed in their finest attire, are seen exiting the grand hotel. Their faces are a mix of excitement, anticipation, and perhaps a touch of trepidation, as they prepare to embark on their next adventure. The women, adorned in elegant hats and long dresses, are accompanied by their husbands or male companions, who carry their luggage. Surrounding the travellers are a throng of touts, eager to offer their services to the newly arrived tourists. With outstretched hands and animated gestures, they call out to the travellers, promising the best deals on camel rides, tours of the pyramids, and other attractions. Their colorful attire and animated demeanor contrast sharply with the formal dress of the Europeans, adding to the sense of cultural exchange and adventure. Shepheard's Hotel, a legendary landmark of Cairo, looms in the background, its white facade a beacon of comfort and luxury amidst the chaos of the bustling city streets. The hotel, which opened in 1899, was a favorite destination for wealthy European travellers, who came to Egypt to experience the wonders of ancient civilization and the exotic allure of the Middle East. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of adventure, exploration, and cultural exchange. It serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of travel and the rich tapestry of human experience that it brings.
