EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of an Arabian Cafe or Coffee House in Suez, Egypt, circa 1908. The photograph transports us to a bygone era, where the bustling port city of Suez, a major hub for trade and travel between Europe and Asia, comes alive through the vibrant details of this intriguing scene. The cafe, nestled amidst the hustle and bustle of the North African coast, boasts an inviting terrace shaded by an intricately designed awning. Seats and benches, arranged in a semi-circle, beckon visitors to rest and enjoy a cup of aromatic coffee or a refreshing mint tea. The atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of traditional hookah pipes, their long stems curling up from the low tables, adding to the air of relaxation and camaraderie. The cafe's exterior is adorned with colorful lanterns, casting a warm, inviting glow over the space. The walls, adorned with intricate Arabic calligraphy and geometric patterns, reflect the rich cultural heritage of Egypt. The scene is completed by the bustling street outside, where merchants hawk their wares, and the sound of the Suez Canal's constant activity can be heard in the background. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of Suez and its diverse community during the early 1900s. It is a reminder of the enduring allure of Egypt, a land steeped in history and tradition, and the timeless appeal of a simple cup of coffee shared with friends and strangers alike.
