Day 6 - Crossing in the Suez Canal
The town was born out of a crazy yet ultimately successful project: to link the Mediterranean with the Red Sea and to create in the 19th century a shipping route via a canal. The Suez Canal cuts through 162 km of desert and was inaugurated in 1869 in the presence of Empress Eugenie, then nationalised by Nasser in 1956. Riding around town at the gentle pace of a colourful barouche you can admire the colonial houses with their large balconies which have helped forge the reputation and charm of Port Said.
