alibaba808 Says: Nothing much to do in Suez except watch the ships go in and out of the Canal. Red Sea resorts are further south and the route to the Sinai is further north.
MikeAtSea Says: About half way through the Suez Canal one can see on the East side various monuments that remember the Israeli Egyptian war. During the time of the Israeli occupation of the Sinai the Suez Canal was the border between the two countries.
alibaba808 Says: If you have to stay in Suez and cannot stay at the Stell di Mare (40k away), then this is the only bar in town.9) Tired old seaside motel ,rooms are ok but can be noisy near reception,staff seem to shout a lot at night,Grounds are very tired and partly delapidated with what...
cancon Says: There are several resorts in the area offering luxury accommodation, water sports and in some cases, golf. A popular choice is the Palmera Beach Resort (tel: (062) 341-0816/24). Egyptians and foreign residents can expect to pay about LE 350 for a double room, including...
Stella di Mare: " Ain Soukhna" Best Resort
cancon Says: " Ain Soukhna," , Suez not so far from Cairo and a regular vacation retreat for upper class people from Cairo, I nevertheless expected it to be exotic. Most westerners are fairly unfamiliar with this beach resort, sometimes called a town but really more of a series of large...
juvisawa Says: I was staying there two times, when I passed through in Spring 2006. The Hotel is near the port. The people are friendly, but they only can speak arabic. The rooms will be rented in total, that means you pay the same price, if you come alone or together with another person....
cancon Says: Ain Sokhna is located about 110 km east of Cairo; you can drive there in less than 90 minutes along the Katameya Road. If you don’t have your own car or are not up for renting one, getting there by bus is easy enough. From Almaza Station in Cairo (tel. 419-8533), East Delta...
MikeAtSea Says: Most visitors to Suez and the Suez Canal will be onboard of a cruise ship. It is an amazing event to cross the desert onboard a ship and see nothing but sand. Ships travel in convoy and have to wait half way for the convoy arriving from the opposite direction.
aliante1981 Says: Many Asian and African countries, including Egypt, are predominantly Muslim, so the religious sites you are most likely to encounter, are, predictably, mosques. This is a brief tip of advice, written from the point of view of a non-Muslim, female traveler (yours truly!!!):-...
MINI BUS TAXIS : KNOW YOUR PRICE WELL!
Trixcentrix Says: My husband and I had the misfortune of ending up at the Suez bus station, on our way to St. Katherine's Monastery ( to climb Mt. Sinai ).THIS IS WHAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED :Take the East Delta Bus from Cairo ( Mahatet Al Turgoman area ), direct to St. Katherine's monastery :...
MikeAtSea Says: Egypt has had some problems during the 1990’s with attacks directed against Western Tourists. Today the Tourism Police is there to directly protect tourists against any possible attack again. Hence movement on overland roads and some areas may be restricted to convoys and...
aliante1981 Says: Travels to places like Tunisia involves a lot of fighting the heat, especially if you, like me (I am still surprised as to why I did that), go there right in the middle of the summer. Here’s a list of useful items to take:- Hats and other covering: Large brimmed hats that...
aliante1981 Says: If you have no plastic card (either a debit, or a credit one) and do not wish to be bothered with travelers cheques (where commission charges tend to be quite high) you will be better off taking with you determinate currency. At present, these currencies are clearly Euros...
aliante1981 Says: Everybody (well, almost!) likes receiving letters - I certainly do, though there are other, more modern and efficient means of communication - e-mail, phone, and such like. However, if you simply like getting letters or if you need, say, the originals or paper copies of some...

2004 was my third time I was able to pass the Suez Canal by ship. And each time it is simply amazing if one sees this canal and the lenght of it. The canal is somewhat more than 160 km long....

I have crossed the Suez Canal several times on tanker ships. It connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. When a ship reaches either Port Said on the Medi, or to the town of Suez on the other......
