EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of Kaid Chaliak Rebei, a local Moroccan guide leading a German mission from Tangiers to Fez on horseback, circa 1910s. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of the North African landscape, with the sun casting long shadows over the undulating terrain. Chaliak Rebei, dressed in traditional Moroccan robes, sits confidently in the saddle, his face a picture of concentration as he guides his horse through the rugged terrain. His rifle is slung over his shoulder, a practical accessory for the unpredictable nature of the journey. The mission members, dressed in European attire, follow closely behind, their expressions a mix of awe and trepidation as they traverse the unfamiliar terrain. The bustling city of Fez, with its iconic blue-tiled buildings and winding streets, can be seen in the distance, a beacon of civilization amidst the vast expanse of the Moroccan desert. The German mission, likely comprised of explorers, scholars, or diplomats, would have relied on the expertise of local guides like Chaliak Rebei to navigate the unfamiliar territory and ensure their safe passage. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when travel was an adventure, and the world was still full of unknowns. It also highlights the rich cultural exchange that occurred between Europeans and Moroccans during the colonial period, with local guides like Chaliak Rebei playing a crucial role in facilitating this interaction.
