The photograph was taken on the Alexandria tram, a historic and iconic mode of public transportation in Egypt. This tramline was established in 1860, during the era of Muhammad Said Pasha. It connects the city center with the west, traversing some of the oldest and most vibrant neighborhoods in Alexandria, such as "Muharram Bey," "Mina Al-Basal," "Ras al-Teen" (next to the Royal Palace), and the Egyptian Hall.
