EDITORS COMMENTS
This montage transports us back in time to the vibrant streets of Alexandria, Egypt, circa 1900. At the heart of the scene lies the majestic Khedivial Hotel (center), an architectural marvel that once epitomized luxury and opulence. The hotel, named after Khedive Abbas II, the ruling monarch of Egypt during that era, was a popular destination for European travelers seeking respite in the exotic allure of the Mediterranean city. Sherif Pasha Street, a bustling artery of the city, is depicted in all its glory, teeming with a diverse population. Men in western attire and traditional Egyptian garb engage in lively conversation, while women, clad in colorful veils and long dresses, go about their daily chores. Children playfully frolic around, their laughter echoing through the narrow, cobblestone lanes. The montage offers a rich tapestry of visual delights, from the intricately designed houses with their ornate balconies and ornamental facades, to the lush, verdant gardens and fruit vendors selling fresh apples. The apple sellers, with their baskets brimming with ripe, red apples, add a splash of color to the monochrome scene. This set of street scenes not only offers a glimpse into the daily life of Alexandria during the early 1900s but also showcases the unique blend of cultures that defined the city. The montage serves as a testament to the enduring charm of Alexandria and its rich history, inviting us to explore the city's fascinating past.
