Ismailia Governorate
Ismailia Governorate, Administrative region in northeastern Egypt
Ismailia Governorate is an administrative region in northeastern Egypt that stretches along the banks of the Suez Canal, incorporating Lake Timsah and portions of the Bitter Lakes water systems. The region comprises seven districts, including Tell El Kebir, Abu Suwir, Qassasin, and Fayid, which function as economic and administrative centers.
During the construction of the Suez Canal in the 1860s, the region became a strategic center for this massive engineering project. The canal permanently altered the area's economic and political importance, turning it into a hub for international trade.
The annual International Documentary Film Festival brings filmmakers from around the world to screen their work and connect with local artists. This event shapes the region's cultural life and creates a space for artistic exchange.
The region is well connected by transportation routes to major Egyptian cities, making it accessible by various means of travel. The flat topography and proximity to waterways make it easy for visitors to explore.
The Technology Valley industrial zone in the region focuses on modern manufacturing sectors while offering direct access to one of the world's most important trade routes. This combination of technological facilities and global hub position makes the location particularly appealing for international enterprises.
