Introduction
The National Museum of Port Said, near the canal mouth, is the best window onto the city and its waterway. Displays run from Pharaonic pieces through Coptic and Islamic art to the modern era, including the story of the canal and the 1956 crisis. An hour or two here pairs neatly with canal-watching and the lighthouse.
