Itinerary

 

Your professional Egyptologist guide assigned by Cairo Top Tours will meet you at the hotel to join our Cairo day tour to the Suez Canal, which starts every day in the morning from any hotel in Cairo or Giza. You will be transported in a modern, air-conditioned car to Ismailia, located approximately two and a half hours drive from Cairo (Ismailia is named after Khedwe Ismail, the first king of Egypt, during whose reign the canal was officially inaugurated) to see one of the greatest achievements of modern Egyptian history, the Suez canal. Going there is definitely one of the best things to do in Cairo.

After arriving in Ismailia, we will visit the Suez Canal and enjoy a hot drink while having a clear view of all the ships passing through this artificial canal from the military club. This vast canal stretches for 190 kilometers from the Suez Governorate, which is the southern access to the canal from the Red Sea, to Port Said on the Mediterranean in the north. It reduces the distance between Europe and India or the Far East by about 60,000 meters.

If permitted, we will also cross the canal by boat to Sinai and visit one of the most powerful military points in the region, "Tabbat al Shagara", which is the defensive point that operated the 190-kilometer Israeli defensive line on the eastern bank of the canal, and which was captured by the Egyptian army during the 1973 war between Egypt and Israel. You will learn more about this conflict, which ended with the Camp David peace agreement.

After you finish your day tour to the Suez canal from Cairo, you will be accompanied back by a private vehicle to your hotel in Cairo after your excursions from Cairo are completed.

The annual Nile flood was a critical and highly beneficial natural event that significantly impacted agriculture in ancient Egypt. The flood was a central element of the Egyptian agricultural calendar and had several important effects:

Fertile Soil Deposition: The Nile flood deposited nutrient-rich silt, or "black land," onto the floodplains of the Nile River. This silt was ideal for agriculture and acted as a natural fertilizer. It replenished the soil's nutrients and allowed for bountiful crop growth.

Irrigation: As the floodwaters receded, they left behind a network of natural canals and basins. The ancient Egyptians used this network to irrigate their fields. They could control the flow of water to ensure that crops received the necessary moisture throughout the year.
