EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant world of a Cairo bazaar, circa 1910, as captured in this evocative photograph from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive. The bustling scene unfolds before us, with a labyrinth of narrow alleyways filled with an array of stalls and shops. The air is thick with the aroma of spices and the sounds of lively bartering in Arabic. In the foreground, a merchant proudly displays his wares - colorful textiles, intricately patterned ceramics, and gleaming brassware. His sales pitch is met with the intense focus of a potential customer, their eyes locked in a negotiation that is as much a part of the bazaar experience as the merchandise itself. The atmosphere is a rich tapestry of sights, sounds, and smells, drawing visitors from all corners of the world. The bazaar, or souq, as it is also known, has long been a vital part of Egyptian culture and commerce. Its origins can be traced back to ancient times, with the first recorded mention of a marketplace in Alexandria dating back to 300 BC. The bazaar system is unique in that it offers a personal and interactive shopping experience, where haggling is not only expected but encouraged. The tradesmen, or souqees, are skilled artisans who have honed their craft over generations. Their expertise and dedication to their craft ensure that each item is of the highest quality, making the bazaar a must-visit destination for travelers seeking authentic Egyptian souvenirs. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, transporting us back in time to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of a Cairo bazaar in the early 20th century.
