Suez Canal

One of the greatest engineering achievements of the 19th century, the Suez Canal has connected the Mediterranean and Red Seas since 1869. Stretching 120 miles (193 kilometers) through Egypt’s Isthmus of Suez, this impressive waterway is a marvel to observe. Visitors can experience the canal not only from the ships that navigate its waters but also from the vibrant cities that line its banks, such as Port Said, Ismailia, and Suez. These cities offer a unique vantage point to witness the constant flow of maritime traffic, making the Suez Canal a living testament to human ingenuity.
