Governor Moroccan Morocco Omar Tribal Caid Safi
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1912, showcases the majestic Dar el Caid si Aissa ben Omar, also known as the Tribal Governors House, located just ten miles from the historic city of Saffi (Safi, Asfi) in Morocco. The image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this North African country. The Dar el Caid, a traditional Moroccan building, stands proudly amidst the arid landscape, its intricate architectural details a testament to the region's unique blend of Berber, Arab, and European influences. The building's grandeur is further accentuated by the winding road leading up to it, which adds to the sense of mystery and allure. The people in this photograph, dressed in traditional Moroccan attire, add a human element to the scene, providing a glimpse into the daily life of the community during that era. The men, wearing djellabas and fez hats, and the women, adorned in veils and intricate jewelry, offer a fascinating glimpse into the region's history and traditions. The Dar el Caid si Aissa ben Omar served as the residence of the tribal governors, who held significant power and influence in the region. The house's grandeur and imposing presence reflect the importance of the tribal leaders and their role in Moroccan society during this time. This photograph is an invaluable historical record, offering a unique perspective on Moroccan history and culture during the early 1900s. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape Morocco today.
