Camels Market, Camel Bazaar Yemen, Aden, 1880
This 1880 photograph captures a vivid scene from the Camel Market (Bazaar) in Aden, one of South Yemen’s most active trade centers during British colonial rule.
Camels were the backbone of inland transport, linking the port of Aden to the mountainous hinterlands via ancient caravan routes.
At the time, Aden was part of the British Aden Protectorate, while northern Yemen remained under Zaydi Imamate rule.
The image reflects the cultural rhythm and commercial vitality of the city, offering a rare window into daily life in colonial-era Aden.
