This man-made canal is one of the most important in the world, due to connecting its role in Asian to Europe through the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. The canal dates to the times of the pharaohs and has previously existed in many variations, but the most modern rendition was completed in 1856 under Ottoman rule. The canal serves as the lifeline for trade with Europe and the rest of the world. Many wars have been fought over it, but Egypt ultimately won all of them and kept it. Today, it's considered to be one of Egypt's national treasures and a symbol of Egypt’s resistance against colonial powers.
Known as the city of hot springs, the city is one of Egypt’s finest resort cities that line up the red sea. With golden yellow sand and pearly blue waters, the city's beaches are almost unmatched anywhere else in the world. The city was also once the home to an ancient port during pharaonic times, leaving it riddled with many ancient monuments and remnants.
The Suez Museum is an important architectural masterpiece that embraces the antiquities and heritage of Egypt. The museum was built to tell the story of the Suez Canal and how it came about from prehistory to the modern era. If you are going with your family, they also have children’s workshops on excavations, jewelry, printing, and leather making.
