Savoy Hotel Aswan, Egypt, circa 1890: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph transports us back in time to the Savoy Hotel in Aswan, Egypt, circa 1890. The image, taken during the height of the British colonial era, showcases the grandeur and elegance of this iconic establishment. The Savoy Hotel, a symbol of luxury and sophistication, was a popular destination for wealthy travelers and dignitaries visiting Egypt during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Built on the eastern bank of the Nile River, the hotel offered breathtaking views of the majestic river and the surrounding desert landscape. The photograph reveals a bustling scene of activity, with guests lounging on the hotel's veranda, enjoying the warm sun and picturesque views. Servants in traditional Egyptian attire can be seen tending to the guests' needs, while others prepare meals in the open-air kitchen. In the background, the distinctive silhouette of the Old Aswan Dam can be seen, a testament to the engineering marvels of the time. The Savoy Hotel's architecture reflects a unique blend of European and Middle Eastern influences, with its red-tiled roofs, arched windows, and intricate stonework. The lush gardens, filled with palm trees and exotic flowers, add to the hotel's allure and provide a welcome respite from the desert heat. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering us a glimpse into the lives of travelers who once called the Savoy Hotel home. It is a reminder of a bygone era, when luxury travel and colonialism intertwined to create a unique and fascinating chapter in history.
