Port Said was founded in 1859 when excavation work for the Suez Canal began. Upon completion of the canal in 1869, the city continued to develop until the bombing attacks in 1956 during the Suez crisis. The town suffered again in 1967 and 1973, during the wars with Israel. Today, most of the structures have been rebuilt, although some damage can still be seen. Several of the original city streets feature buildings constructed in turn-of-the-century architecture, complete with wooden balconies. Port Said also serves as the gateway to Cairo’s incomparable treasures, such as the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. In addition, there is the world-renowned Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, a must for every visitor keen on getting acquainted with Egypt’s ancient history.Pier InformationThe ship is scheduled to tie up alongside a floating pier at Port Said. The town center is within walking distance. The distance to Cairo is 120 miles. In view of the great distance using a taxi is not recommended.

Additional shops can be found in the Noras Beach Shopping Arcade, one mile from the pier.
