Suez - Rue Komar, Egypt, circa 1905: A captivating scene from the past unfolds on the shores of the Gulf of Suez in north-eastern Egypt. The photograph, taken around 1905, depicts Rue Komar, a bustling street in the Suez area, which was a popular destination for travelers and merchants during the early 1900s. The image transports us back in time, revealing a vibrant North African street scene filled with a rich cultural tapestry. The Chinese bazaar, or bazar, located on the right side of the street, is a testament to the global connections that thrived in this region. The intricately designed Chinese shop signs, with their colorful motifs and calligraphy, stand out against the sandy backdrop of the Gulf. French influence is evident in the architecture of the buildings lining the street, with their European-style storefronts and shuttered windows. The French presence in Egypt during this period was significant, and their impact on the country's urban development is still visible today. The shops along Rue Komar catered to the diverse population of the area, offering a range of goods from various parts of the world. The vibrant marketplace was a hub of activity, with merchants haggling over prices and locals going about their daily business. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and cultural diversity of Suez during the early 1900s. It invites us to explore the stories of the people who once walked these streets, and to appreciate the connections that bound the world together a century ago.
