Suez is a city where ancient and modern history intertwine in rare fashion. From when it was Clysma — a Pharaonic Red Sea port thousands of years ago — through its development in early Islamic times, to its leap into modernity with the Suez Canal excavation in 1859 and opening in 1869 — Suez has always remained a civilizational crossroads between East and West.

55 km — SSuez is one of Egypt's most strategically vital and historically profound cities, located at the southern terminus of the Suez Canal where it meets the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea — making it the gateway between Africa and Asia for global maritime trade. The modern city is the successor of the ancient Egyptian port city of Clysma, which served as a major Red Sea harbor during the Pharaonic era and was later developed by the Romans, the early Islamic rulers, and the Ottoman Empire. Suez grew exponentially following the 1869 opening of the Suez Canal, transforming from a small town of a few thousand into a major industrial seaport city of over 600,000 people. The city heroically resisted foreign invasion during the 1956 Suez Crisis and again in the 1973 Yom Kippur War when its defenders held the city against overwhelming odds — earning Suez deep national pride and the title of a resistant city. Suez Governorate is unique in Egypt in being coterminous with the city itself, meaning the governorate and city share the same boundaries. The city hosts Port Tawfiq (also known as Port Ibrahim) and Port Adabiya — two major commercial ports — along with vast oil refineries with pipelines stretching to Cairo, the Suez Canal Authority shipyards, a major petrochemical plant, and Ain Sokhna port to the south. Suez has historically served as the primary departure point for Egyptian Hajj pilgrims traveling to Makkah by sea. Prayer times in Suez follow the Egyptian General Authority of Survey calculation method at Egypt local time EET/UTC+2 (EEST/UTC+3 in summer).
