Port Said Day Tour From Cairo

Before it was a lively port city, Port Said was a modest village in the northeastern part of Egypt, inhabited by a small community of fishermen. When the Suez Canal was dug during the Ottoman reign of Khedive Said, the city was expanded into a cosmopolitan center. The city has a remarkable diversity of Greek, Italian, French, and British architecture of the European businessmen who worked and lived in the city. Even though there are no monuments, Port Said has charming streets, markets, and ships which are seen everywhere.
