Educational and Enjoyable Visit To the Suez Canal

Mike_G, Mar 2026

Mofasa knows so much about so many things, our drive to the Canal went very well and seemed short. Had free time to enjoy the Suez, as we were the only ones there (Ramadan). Visited the museum and enjoyed a super seafood lunch. Learned everything we wanted and then some. Nice leisurely pace and covered all of the bases.

Suez Canal and great insight to Egyptian past and present

Zezo was my tour guide, it was an amazing time. He is extremely knowledgeable and we had a terrific conversation about Egypt past and present. Seeing the Suez Canal was fun too, definitely was exactly what I was looking for from this tour. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
