EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tranquil waters of the Gulf of Suez in north-eastern Egypt, a captivating scene unfolds as the tide recedes, revealing the seabed floor and leaving a vast expanse of mudflats in its wake. A group of Egyptian men, dressed in traditional attire, take advantage of the low tide to gather around the exposed seabed, engaging in various activities. In the background, the bustling town of Suez, with its distinctive red-hued buildings, comes into view as the boats lining the coastline become stranded, their hulls grounded on the muddy floor. The ebb and fall of the tide have transformed the scene, creating a unique tableau that speaks to the rhythms of life along the Egyptian coastline. This evocative image, captured circa 1900, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the natural world held a profound influence over the daily lives of those who lived and worked along the shores of the Suez Canal.
