A Moment of Leisure at the Foot of a Historical Wonder: A Canadian Pacific Cruise Passenger Golfs at the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt, 1929 Amidst the sun-kissed sands of Egypt, the Empress of Australia, a luxurious Canadian Pacific cruise liner, docked near the bustling city of Cairo. In this photograph, a female passenger stands atop the Great Pyramid of Giza, the seventh wonder of the ancient world, with a golf club in hand and a determined look on her face. The year was 1929, and the 1920s, an era of prosperity and indulgence, were in full swing. The Empress of Australia, a symbol of modern transportation and travel, had brought its privileged passengers from the shores of North America to the exotic lands of Egypt. The passengers, eager to explore the ancient civilization, were offered an array of opportunities to experience the wonders of the world. This intrepid woman, dressed in a stylish 1920s outfit, seized the moment to combine her love for golf with the thrill of standing atop one of history's most iconic structures. The Great Pyramid, an engineering marvel built over 4,500 years ago, stood as a silent witness to this unique scene. The pyramid's steep, narrow stairs were a challenge for even the most adventurous souls, but the allure of golfing on such hallowed ground was too enticing to resist. With a gentle swing, the ball soared through the clear blue sky, leaving a trail of dust in its wake, as the passengers below watched in awe. This photograph is a testament to the spirit of adventure and the boundless curiosity that defined the 1920s. It captures a fleeting moment in time, where the old world met the new, and the ordinary intersected with the extraordinary.
