Tewfik Palace Hotel, Helouan (Helwan), Egypt - Circa 1910s This evocative photograph captures the Tewfik Palace Hotel in Helouan, Egypt, during the early 1900s. Located on the north bank of the Nile, opposite the ancient ruins of Memphis, the hotel was a popular destination for travelers seeking a respite from the bustling city of Cairo. The image showcases the grandeur of the Tewfik Palace Hotel, with its elegant facade adorned with intricate stonework and tall, arched windows. The lush gardens surrounding the hotel are filled with palm trees, providing a serene and tropical atmosphere. The Nile River, with its tranquil waters, flows gently in the background, adding to the idyllic scene. Helouan, also known as Hilwan or Hulwan, is a historic city located in the southern outskirts of Greater Cairo. It was a favored destination for tourists due to its proximity to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt during the Old Kingdom. Memphis was renowned for its grand temples and colossal statues, including the famous Statue of Ramses II. The Tewfik Palace Hotel was named after Khedive Tewfik Pasha, who ruled Egypt from 1879 to 1892. The hotel was a symbol of the opulence and grandeur of the Egyptian royalty and attracted wealthy tourists from around the world. The photograph captures a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Egypt during the early 20th century.
