Suez

The city stretches along the northern coast of the Gulf of Suez with three main ports: Suez Port, al-Adabiya, and al-Zaytiya, handling maritime trade operations.

The city stands on the location of ancient Clysma, which connected Egyptian and Persian maritime routes during the Achaemenid period through vital shipping channels.

The districts of El Arbaeen, Suez, and Ataqah each maintain distinct identities reflected in their architecture, community structures, and local traditions.

Located at coordinates 29.967° N latitude and 32.550° E longitude, Suez maintains an elevation of 11 meters above sea level for optimal port operations.

The metropolitan area spans two continents, with the majority in Africa and a small portion extending into Asia, creating a geographical intersection point.
