Fort and Harbour, Alexandria, Egypt, 2007: A Stunning Contrast of Old and New This evocative photograph, captured by the skilled lens of Ethel Davies in 2007, showcases the breathtaking Fort and Harbour of Alexandria, Egypt. The image transports us to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, where ancient history meets modern life. At the heart of the scene lies the Fort (or Citadel) of Qaitbay, a magnificent defensive fortress dating back to the 15th century. Its imposing silhouette, with its towering turrets and battlements, stands proudly on the eastern headland of the Alexandria's harbour. The fort, a testament to Egypt's rich history, has been a symbol of Mizraim's (Egypt's) enduring strength and resilience for centuries. The vibrant colours of the Egyptian flag, fluttering in the breeze, add a splash of modernity to the scene. The flags, proudly displayed on the ships in the harbour, serve as a reminder of the diverse and dynamic community that thrives in this ancient land. The tableware and crockery, displayed on a nearby table, offer a glimpse into the daily life of the people who call Alexandria home. These mementos and souvenirs, with their intricate designs and bright hues, serve as a bridge between the past and the present. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the enduring beauty and complexity of Egypt, a land where the ancient and the modern coexist in a fascinating and vibrant tapestry.
