The Corniche and De Lesseps Statue Base

De Lesseps Statue Base is a 33-foot bronze statue of Ferdinand de Lesseps that sits at the entrance of the infamous Suez Canal. Walking along the corniche and enjoying the seaside air is an experience of its own but seeing this towering statue holding his right arm to welcome you while his left hand holds a map of the canal will leave you feeling the history and significance of the Suez Canal.
