EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this image of the Interior of the Turkish Baths in Beirut, Lebanon, circa 1910s. The Turkish Baths, also known as Hammams, have a rich history in Lebanese culture, dating back thousands of years. This particular bathhouse was a popular destination for both locals and travelers seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. Upon entering this tranquil oasis, visitors would leave their shoes at the entrance and don a traditional kiswah, or bathrobe. The interior of the bathhouse is adorned with intricate tile work, ornate lamps, and reclining chairs, creating an ambiance of relaxation and serenity. The large central pool, filled with warm water, is the heart of the bathhouse. Here, visitors would submerge themselves in the therapeutic waters, often accompanied by a masseuse who would scrub and massage the body, leaving the skin soft and supple. The Turkish Baths were not only a place for physical rejuvenation but also a social gathering spot. Friends and family would spend hours together, chatting and laughing while enjoying the various treatments and services offered. The bathhouse was a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of daily life, a place where one could unwind and connect with others. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of a Turkish Bath were a cherished part of daily life in Beirut, Lebanon.
