EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur of The Casino Palace Hotel in Port Said, Egypt, as it stood in 1927. Located at the easternmost point of the Suez Canal, Port Said was a bustling hub of international trade and travel during the early 20th century. The Casino Palace Hotel, with its distinctive Art Deco design, was a symbol of the city's glamour and sophistication. Built in 1927, the hotel was a popular destination for wealthy travelers and high society figures, who came to enjoy its luxurious amenities and stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. The breakwater, or mole, in the foreground of the image, protected the harbor from the strong winds and waves, making it an ideal location for the hotel. The Casino Palace Hotel was more than just a place to rest your head. It was a social hub, where guests could enjoy fine dining, gambling, and dancing the night away in the hotel's famous casino. The hotel's ballroom was a particular favorite, hosting extravagant parties and galas that drew crowds from far and wide. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era of luxury and opulence. The Casino Palace Hotel may no longer stand, but its legacy lives on in the memories of those who experienced its magic and in the stories passed down through generations. Today, Port Said remains an important gateway to the Middle East, connecting Europe and Asia via the Suez Canal. But it is also a reminder of a time when travel was an adventure, and a stay at a grand hotel like the Casino Palace was an experience to be savored.
