Suez

                                     Suez                                                                                                                                                     

            Suez, an Egyptian city, the capital of the Suez Governorate, located at the head of the Gulf of Suez; It is the largest Egyptian city on the Red Sea. The Suez Canal is named after the city                                                                                                                                                    

                                                                                          It was called al-Qulzum in the past. It is located east of the Nile River Delta at the southern entrance to the Suez Canal. It is bordered to the north by Ismailia Governorate, to the east by South Sinai, and to the west by Cairo. The Suez governorate has three ports, which are the port of Adabiya, the port of Suez and the port of Sokhna, where an oil refinery and petrochemical plants are connected to Cairo and then to the Mediterranean Sea through the Sumed pipeline                                                                                                                It was called “the city of strangers” in relation to Sidi al-Gharib, and he was one of the most prominent Sufis, but today we remember the influx of strangers from Sa’aidah, Arabs and people from other provinces. It was known for blocking the road to Cairo in front of the Israeli army during the October War, as they failed to occupy it due to the resistance of its people under the leadership of personalities such as Sheikh Hafez Salama                                                                                                                                                                  Whatever the name of the city of Suez, it is the port of Egypt on the northern tip of the Gulf of Suez. Because it is the closest point to the Red Sea, it is easy to connect directly to the beating heart of Egyptian life. Suez is distinguished from the southern ports of the Red Sea, in that the road from the sea to the Nile does not pass through valleys and rugged volcanic mountains. Also, the cities, when “Qena” or “Qeft”, are internal, striking in the depths of Upper Egypt, relatively isolated from the delta, in which the Mediterranean trade flourishes                                                                                                                                               And the geographical location of the Gulf of Suez and the Nile, prepares the edge of the Gulf for the emergence of a city, with a limited function, which is the trade of the Red Sea, and beyond, whether it is Puntland, Persia, or India and the Far East

If this city was able to connect to the Nile by water, the importance of the geographical location and its function would double, just as the importance of the city would be magnified. They then converge East-West trade
