EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of Gezirah Palace in Cairo, Egypt, circa 1910. The palace, a former royal residence of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty, stands proudly on the banks of the Nile River in the Gezira Island district. The elegant building, with its intricate architectural details and lush gardens, once served as a residence for the royal family. However, the tranquility of the palace was disrupted during World War I when it was transformed into the second hospital of the Australian Army in Cairo. The Australian military personnel, far from their homeland, found solace and care within the walls of the palace. Following the war, the palace was sold and reopened as a luxurious hotel, offering weary travelers a taste of opulence and relaxation. Over the years, it has continued to welcome guests from around the world, providing them with an unforgettable experience. Today, the Gezirah Palace is part of the renowned Cairo Marriott Hotel complex, a testament to its rich history and enduring charm. The palace's legacy continues, as it remains a symbol of Egypt's grand past and its commitment to providing exceptional hospitality.
