Egyptian Ports
Port Said
Port Said is situated on the Northern entrance of the Gulf of Suez. It is considered one of the main Egyptian ports due to its distinguished location at the crossroad of the most important world sea trade route between the East and Europe via Suez Canal, and the most extensive transshipment port in the world.
A bypass channel has been built east of Port Said in order to avoid large vessels and vessels with dangerous cargo to enter the main Port Said port. It is constructed Between the Mediterranean sea and connects with the canal 17 kilometers south of Port Said.
