    Port Said, Egypt

    Port Said gives access to Cairo, capital of this legend-filled antique land.

    Originally a camp for men working on the Suez Canal, Port Said had become a major port by the end of the 19th century, all the maritime powers had consulates here. It’s still an important staging post for big ships passing through the Canal, but the Victorian architecture in the town centre speaks of a wealthy colonial past.
    The National Museum has objects from Egypt’s past going back to prehistoric and pharaonic eras. It also has Islamic and Coptic textiles, manuscripts and coins. The Military Museum has displays of Egypt’s conflicts over the years, including early Islamic wars and more recent conflicts with Israel.
