Port Said, in northeastern Egypt, sits at the northern end of the Suez Canal. Founded in 1859 during the canal's construction, it was named after Khedive Muhammad Sa'id. The city, built on reclaimed land, features a blend of European and Egyptian architecture. It's a vital port, with a large outer harbour. Once the world's largest coal - bunkering station, it now has diverse industries. With a rich history marked by conflicts and recovery, Port Said offers cultural attractions like its national museum and a vibrant nightlife.
