EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting scene of the Royal Hotel and Avenue de Lacroix in Biskra, Algeria during the 1910s. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to experience the allure of this North African destination. The Royal Hotel, a grand architectural masterpiece, stands proudly at the end of the avenue, its whitewashed walls shimmering under the bright North African sun. The hotel's elegant facade, adorned with intricate details, exudes an air of sophistication and luxury. The large, arched windows offer glimpses of the opulent interiors, while the balconies provide a vantage point for guests to take in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The Avenue de Lacroix, named after the French military officer who discovered the thermal springs in Biskra, is a bustling hub of activity. The tree-lined street is filled with horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, and pedestrians, all making their way to and from the hotel and the thermal baths. The vibrant colors of the traditional Algerian clothing add a splash of exoticism to the scene. The palm trees lining the avenue create a lush canopy, providing shade and a sense of tranquility. In the background, the Saharan dunes rise up, a reminder of the vast desert that surrounds Biskra. The combination of the modern European architecture, the traditional Algerian culture, and the natural beauty of the desert creates a unique and captivating atmosphere. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and diverse cultural influences that make Biskra, Algeria, such a fascinating destination. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people who once walked these streets and the experiences they had at the Royal Hotel.
