An illustration from Picturesque Palestine, Sinai and Egypt, 1881, leaf 475
Under the palms, 'Ayun Músa. 'It is a strange spot- this plot of tamarisks' (and palms) 'with its seventeen wells - literally an island in the desert and now used as the Richmond of Suez- a comparison which chiefly serves to show what a place Suez itself must be!' -- (Stanley)
