Day Trip to the Suez Canal

Standing at the crossroads of Europe, Africa and Asia, the famous Suez Canal is one of Egypt's greatest engineering marvels. Discover it with this excursion from Cairo.

Itinerary

Having picked you up from your hotel, we leave Cairo heading North. We'll make our first stop in Ismailía, a city founded in the second half of the 19th century as a centre of operations for the then under construction Suez Canal.

After a brief tour of Ismailia, we'll head to the banks of the Suez Canal. While walking along the water, we'll learn the history of this infrastructure project, which allows ships to cross from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea without circumnavigating Africa.

After learning about the history of the Suez Canal, we'll enjoy a typical Egyptian lunch in a restaurant with views of the canal.

With our energy recovered, we'll begin our return journey back to Cairo.
