Port Said, Port settlement at Mediterranean Sea entrance of Suez Canal, Egypt
Port Said extends along the northern gateway of the Suez Canal, featuring commercial districts, maritime facilities, and Mediterranean waterfront developments spanning 1,351 square kilometers.
The establishment of Port Said in 1859 marked the beginning of the Suez Canal construction, transforming a salt marsh into a principal Mediterranean trading center.
The port city maintains Egyptian market traditions through its extensive bazaars, where merchants sell products arriving from international vessels crossing the Suez Canal.
Port Said harbor accommodates vessels over 500 feet in length with water depths between 36 to 40 feet, providing essential maritime services including repairs and fuel.
The Port Said Military Museum displays artifacts from multiple regional conflicts, including remnants from the 1956 Suez Crisis that affected this strategic location.
