Summary
Postcard showing the iconic Simon Arzt department store. Built in the early 1920s, it is considered the "first mall in Egypt". Its building, a great example of Art Deco design, was a landmark in Port Said. The department store's namesake, Simon Artz, was one of the first members of the Jewish community to arrive in Port Said in 1869, having come from New York, and started producing and selling cigarettes under his name.
