Suez travel guide

The provincial capital is charmingly located at the southern end of the Suez canal, which extends out into the flat northern bay of the Gulf of Suez

In the Middle Ages, this was the site of the walled port city of Qulzum; it was an important centre of the spice trade and a transit camp for pilgrims to Mecca. With the construction of the Suez Canal, the city increased in importance as a transit port for goods traffic in the trade with eastern Asia and also for passenger traffic. During the dispute with Israel in 1967 and 1973, almost 80% of the port and industrial city was destroyed. Although Suez offers few attractions, a relatively large number of tourists can be found here. Most of them are just passing through.
