Itinerary

Embark on an extraordinary Cairo Day Tour to the Suez Canal with Nut Travel! Your journey begins as our expert Egyptologist guide meets you at your Cairo or Giza hotel in the morning. From there, you’ll travel comfortably in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle to Ismailia, a historic city named after Khedive Ismail, under whose reign the canal was inaugurated. The scenic drive to Ismailia takes about 2.5 hours, giving you a sense of the landscapes that have shaped Egypt’s history.

Upon arrival, you’ll visit the Suez Canal, an engineering marvel stretching 190 kilometers from the Red Sea in the south to the Mediterranean in the north, drastically shortening the distance between Europe and Asia. At the military club, enjoy a hot drink as you take in the impressive views of ships passing through the canal’s waters. Your guide will share insights about the canal’s significance in global trade and Egyptian history.

For an added highlight, if permitted, you’ll board a boat to cross the canal into the Sinai Peninsula to explore "Tabbat al Shagara." This historic military post was a key part of the 190-kilometer Israeli defensive line during the 1973 war, and its capture by the Egyptian army was a turning point in Egypt’s modern history. Learn about the events that led to the Camp David peace agreement, bringing this chapter to a close.

After a day immersed in history and stunning sights, you’ll be transported back to your hotel in Cairo, reflecting on the remarkable blend of ancient heritage and modern achievements that define Egypt. Nut Travel ensures every detail of this tour is seamless, enriching, and unforgettable.
