If those are REALLY Egyptian ladies, then Western influence has been making impressions over there for a much longer time than I realized. They look totally Victorian/Gibson Girl-like ... save for the face wraps.

mactographer,
During this period, I believe that Alexandria, at least, was very cosmopolitan. See for example, from alexandriatour.com/

"From the 19th century Alexandria took a new role, as a focus for Egypt's commercial and maritime expansion. This Alexandria has been immortalized by writers such as E-M- Forster and Cavafy. Generations of immigrants from Greece, Italy and the Levant settled here and made the city synonymous with commerce, cosmopolitanism and bohemian culture."

This is not to claim that the picture is in Alexandria.

Another indication of interactions in the early 20th century between Europe and Egypt, including by Americans is at query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B03E 6DF1E31E233A... , an NYT article from October 29, 1911:
"WAR MAY SPOIL SEASON IN EGYPT; Americans Fear Possible Inconvenience and Will Go to Mediterranean Instead.

LONDON, Oct. 28. -- There are still many Americans staying in London, which is unusually full for this time of year. The hotels continue to do a splendid business, although the weather, which has been damp and foggy, will have the effect of hurrying the departure of those who Winter in warmer climes...."

A perfect photograph. I love the quality of the tones - as they are both muted and vibrant at the same time. There is the lovely texture and of course the composition and subject matter makes this an image I want to look at repeatedly.

Interesting picture, showing a mix of different styles: beside the European style gowns, both ladies wear Turkish style head-and faceveils ( Yashmak ) like those used by upper class Turkish women. Outdoors they usually covered themselves and their gowns with additional black cloaks ( Habara ).

Cairo in that time was a little bit difffrent than today, a lot of mixed races were living there, greek, armanian, jews, italians, and the high society egyptian people, they were tottaly living in another world than the common egyptian people, the down town cairo was a little part of paris, were metro golden myers used to launch movies at cairo in the same time like paris, new york, and other major capitals, you can know more about cairo this time if you go briefly through Edward Said biography out of place.
