Great half-day trip - Over 150 years old, the Suez Canal is a very special place. It is a feat of human perseverance and a forerunner to more significant marvels of engineering, such as the Panama Canal, which is 45 years younger than the Suez Canal. My trip to Egypt would not have been complete without a visit to this shrine of mankind's progress in navigation.
Merna was very helpful in arranging all the logistics, and Eslam was a kind and gracious driver and guide. Fortunately for me, the Suez Canal had just reopened yesterday for traffic between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. It had been closed for some time because of all the conflicts in the region. I was able to see some of the first few ships to cross over from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea since the reopening of the canal, and I also saw some native birds, such as pied kingfishers, little egrets, a hoopoe, and a white wagtail.
We finished the trip with a delicious fresh seafood lunch at a nearby restaurant in Ismailia, overlooking the shimmering waters of the canal.
Another shout-out to Eslam, an excellent guide with superb social skills!

Suez Canal - The driver went out of his way to look after me. Unfortunately, we couldn't drive to the port in Port Said due to a military checkpoint, but the driver found a great spot from which we had a wonderful view of the ships in the Suez Canal and were very close to them. All in all, a great experience!

Cheapo-you don't even get what you paid for - Firstly our driver was alright . He tried to do his best. However the tour operator - really screwed us over.
We were not even taken close to the canal (as shown in their pictures and even travellers photos). I have attached the view we got in the photo. The advertisement said that we could visit the memorial, however the operator said that the memorial was within the port and hence no access to see it. I don't understand why this was advertised including close up pictures of the ships. 2nd, it was Ramadan so lot of restaurants were closed for lunch so the driver drove to a few places around to look for lunch, only after persistently asking us to buy our own seafood. He then couldn't find any restaurants-the operator accuses us that we asked him to drive around to different restaurants. When you try reason with the operator they just give you excuses and don't even answer the questions properly. Despite this they did give us a partial refund after we requested this on viator.
