EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the enchanting desert oasis of Biskra, Algeria, in the golden age of travel during the 1920s. This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as European tourists bask in the warm sun and revel in the unique delights of this Saharan gem. The age of the 1920s, or 'Jazz Age,' was a time of adventure and discovery, and Biskra was a popular destination for those seeking a taste of the exotic. The town, located in the heart of the Sahara Desert, was renowned for its hot springs, date palms, and stunning landscapes. In this image, we see a group of travelers, dressed in the fashion of the era, enjoying a moment of relaxation amidst the dunes. The elegant women wear flapper dresses and cloche hats, while the men don suits and fedoras. They sit atop a large, ornate rug, sipping on refreshing beverages and taking in the breathtaking views. A camel train can be seen in the distance, adding to the sense of adventure and exploration. Camel rides were a must-do activity for visitors to Biskra, offering a unique and unforgettable experience. The seasonal oasis of Biskra, with its lush vegetation and crystal-clear waters, was a stark contrast to the arid desert landscape that surrounded it. The town was a haven for those seeking respite from the harsh Saharan climate, and its allure drew travelers from all corners of the world. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the magic and wonder of Biskra during the 1920s, a time when the world seemed full of possibilities and adventure. It invites us to dream of far-off lands and exciting new experiences, and to appreciate the beauty and allure of the natural world.
