A stunning collection of 1920s color photos by Gervais Courtellemont and W. Robert Moore for National Geographic offers a vivid glimpse into everyday life in Egypt.
From silk-reeling boys in the desert to Cairo fruit vendors, the images showcase a nation balancing ancient tradition and modern influence.
At the time, over 200,000 Europeans lived in Egypt, reshaping cities like Cairo with districts like Maadi and Heliopolis, filled with modern comforts.
These photos reflect Egypt’s cultural shift under British rule, shortly after gaining independence in 1922.
