EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures The Main Pass, also known as Kraytar or Seera, in the British colony of Aden, circa 1920s. The image presents a narrow and winding mountain road leading up to the pass, framed by towering hills and rugged terrain. The pass served as a crucial connection between the coastal regions of Aden and the interior of the Arabian Peninsula, facilitating the movement of people and goods during the colonial era. The photograph reveals a series of buildings and structures scattered along the pass, including a bridge that spans the width of a deep ravine. These structures, likely used for administrative, military, or residential purposes, bear witness to the British presence and influence in the region. The image also shows several cars making their way up the pass, indicating the passage of modern transportation through this historic and challenging terrain. The Main Pass, with its dramatic landscape and rich history, stands as a testament to the complex interplay of colonialism, culture, and geography in the Middle East during the early 20th century. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the transformative impact of colonial rule on the people and places of Aden and Yemen.
