EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative montage captures the charm and allure of Helwan (Helouan), a popular resort town located in the south of Greater Cairo, Egypt, during the early 1900s. The image showcases three prominent establishments that once attracted visitors from near and far: the Grand Hotel, Hotel des Bains, and the thermal spa and swimmer baths. Perched atop the montage, the Grand Hotel, with its grandiose facade and elegant columns, exudes an air of sophistication and luxury. Below it, the Hotel des Bains, with its inviting terraces and lush greenery, promises relaxation and rejuvenation. To the left, the thermal spa and swimmer baths beckon, their steamy waters and soothing mineral springs offering a refreshing escape from the desert heat. Helwan's reputation as a health and wellness destination dates back to ancient times, with the Romans and Greeks recognizing the therapeutic value of its mineral-rich waters. By the early 1900s, the town had become a popular retreat for European travelers seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. The grandeur of the hotels and the allure of the thermal baths drew visitors from all walks of life, making Helwan a must-visit destination for those traveling to Egypt. This montage offers a glimpse into a bygone era, transporting us back in time to an age of elegance and relaxation. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Helwan, a town that continues to attract visitors from around the world to this day.
