This photograph captures a harbor scene on the Nile River, likely in Cairo, crowded with traditional Egyptian sailing feluccas. Cairo served as a key transit and layover point for Allied servicemen traveling between the European/Mediterranean theaters and the China-Burma-India Theater during World War II. Images like this one, preserved within a CBI Theater photo archive, document the journeys and stopovers experienced by personnel en route to their wartime postings in Asia. Project: 218381
