Suez Governorate, Administrative division in northeastern Egypt
The Suez Governorate spans 17,840 square kilometers of territory, featuring five major ports along the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea coast.
The region contained the ancient Greek settlement of Clysma, which later transformed into the Muslim trading post of Qulzum during the 7th century.
The governorate maintains its status as a departure hub for Muslim pilgrims traveling to Mecca through its strategic location near Saudi Arabia.
The Suez Public Free Zone, established in 1975, connects the Suez Port with Adabeya, facilitating industrial development and international trade.
In 2018, the governorate secured an agreement with Russia to construct a dedicated Russian Industrial Zone within its boundaries.
