Port Said – Where the Canal Meets the Mediterranean

Port Said is a city born with the Suez Canal in 1859, when engineers chose its location as the starting point for one of the greatest engineering projects in human history. When the Canal officially opened to global shipping in 1869, Port Said became the first transit point for every vessel entering from the Mediterranean toward the Indian Ocean. This unique strategic position made the city one of the world's most important and vibrant ports, with thousands of massive ships transiting annually carrying goods representing over 12% of global maritime trade.

In 1956, Port Said wrote its most heroic chapter when its citizens stood firm against the tripartite British-French-Israeli invasion during the Suez Crisis. The city's people resisted with everything they had to defend their dignity and national sovereignty, earning Port Said the eternal title "City of Steadfastness" from Egypt and the world. Prayer times in Port Said follow Egypt time EET/UTC+2 in winter and EEST/UTC+3 in summer.
