Overview
A full day from Cairo to Suez, the port city at the southern end of the Suez Canal, travelling by air-conditioned car with a driver. Shared small-group tour.
Suez is a working port city rather than a tourist town, and that's its appeal. It sits where the Suez Canal meets the Gulf of Suez, roughly two hours' drive east of Cairo across the desert, and most travellers never make it here.
Your driver collects you from your hotel in Cairo and heads east to the coast. From the waterfront at Port Tewfik you can watch ships lining up to enter the canal, then walk along the sea front and get a feel for everyday life in a city shaped by trade and shipping.
This trip comes with a driver rather than a guide, so it suits independent travellers who want transport and flexibility. After about eight hours you are back at your hotel in Cairo.
Highlights
- Ships entering the Suez Canal at its southern end
