A video filmed in 1910 showing a traditional market in the western region of Saudi Arabia. Based on the architectural details, it appears to be Al-Suwayq in Yanbu Al-Nakhal about 115 years ago.

    SubhanAllah. everyone in these photos has long since passed away. They all have rested in peace for many years. None of them could have imagined we would be able to see them a century later, with their smiles and faces persevered once again.

    Yet life moves on none the less and we too will be forgotten perhaps in a couple of decades or less, remembered only briefly by people we may never even know just as we now remember them for a moment.

    It makes you take a step back and reflect on this world. Truly bittersweet life. One that we must cherish for the limited time we have at it in this world.
