EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant and bustling Arabian district of Port Said, Egypt, in the 1930s. This evocative photograph captures the essence of daily life in this unique and diverse community, situated on the north-eastern coast of Egypt on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and the western bank of the Suez Canal. The Arabian district, one of the town's oldest and most distinct neighborhoods, is a labyrinth of narrow, winding streets teeming with activity. Here, men in traditional Egyptian garb, including the iconic galabeya and fez, go about their daily business, engaging in lively conversation or haggling over goods in the open-air markets. The district is a bustling hub of commerce and community, with shops selling an array of goods from textiles and spices to fresh produce and handicrafts. The aroma of freshly baked bread wafts through the air, mingling with the sounds of children playing and the calls of street vendors. Despite the hustle and bustle, there is a sense of tranquility and camaraderie that pervades the district. Pedestrians, both young and old, make their way along the cobblestone streets, greeting neighbors and friends with warm smiles and friendly banter. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when life moved at a slower pace and community connections ran deep. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and vibrant culture that continues to thrive in the Arabian district of Port Said, Egypt.
