Introduction
The Suez Canal links the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, and Port Said is its northern gateway. From the corniche you can watch fully laden freighters glide past in convoy, close enough to see crews wave. A short ferry crosses to Port Fouad, and museums nearby tell how this waterway redrew world trade.
