EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the bustling Market at Az Zubayr, Iraq, circa 1910s. The marketplace, located in the city and capital of Al-Zubair District, was a thriving hub of trade and commerce in the Basra Governorate of Iraq. The old Emirate of Zubair, referred to as Az Zubayr or Zobeir, was known for its rich agricultural resources and vibrant trading activities. In this photograph, traders and sellers can be seen haggling over prices at their stalls, piled high with an array of goods. The market offered a diverse range of merchandise, from textiles and spices to agricultural produce and handicrafts. The warm, inviting atmosphere is palpable, as people from all walks of life come together to exchange goods and connect with one another. The Market at Az Zubayr was not only a commercial center but also a social hub, where communities came together to share stories, news, and traditions. The city's strategic location, just south of Basra, made it a crucial stop on trade routes connecting the Middle East and India. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and vibrant trading history of Iraq, a time when the Market at Az Zubayr was a thriving center of commerce and community.
