This memorable tour begins upon disembarking the ship at Port Said Port: an apt setup to greet you with an experienced English-speaking guide who lends your surroundings the charm of his Africanized anecdotes. From here, an air-conditioned ride within the city starts, including a scenic stop at the far-reaching and iconic Suez Canal. This is your chance to truly appreciate the crucial role this waterway plays in international trade and Egypt's economy, while admiring towering-sized vessels cruising through this world-famous canal.
The colonial quarters boast French-style architecture and historic structures. Another key must-stop is a leisurely walk along Sharia al-Gomhuriyya, one of Port Said's major streets abutting quaint shops, cafés, and art centers. For a complete tour, the Military Museum, which relates the modern military history of Egypt and especially the Suez Crisis, must be visible.
You will then be dropped at one of the local markets or bazaars that offer handicrafts, souvenirs, and snacks. If time does permit it, one might also make a journey to either an Egyptian mosque or church, thus allowing the participants to appreciate a flavor of the local religious culture.
Afterward, one can relax and enjoy the picturesque drive to Port Said Port with leisure time to watch the ship sail away. Thus, the tour is perfect for the travelers who want to squeeze loads into a little time, exposing the tourists to an even measure of history, culture, and local life.
