Hey folks, driving in Cairo is interesting to watch. It is never boring on the streets of Cairo. For more information subtitles in different languages are available. If you have suggestions or feedback just leave a comment, thank you.
Welcome to a new tour. Today we are returning from Suez to Cairo. As you are used to from me, I am again providing information about the area, also with distances to other cities, information about where the exits on the highwasy lead and, as always, facts, if I could collect any.
I also permanently displayed the permitted maximum speed. I've heard a lot of complaints about Speeding Tickets. In this way I hope to protect you from possible Speeding tickets. In future videos I will continue this on main roads.
You have to watch out for walking people, taxis, toktok's and especially for (white) microbuses. Their behavior is unpredictable and it can lead to a disaster.

Suez
Suez (السويس) is a city in Egypt, 120 km east of Cairo.
The city is known for the Suez Canal, which begins there and ends in Port Said.
Suez is the 6th largest city in the country with almost 700,000 inhabitants. They are distributed over an area of 3,128 km².
With 223 inhabitants per km², the density is relatively low. For comparison, Cairo or Alexandria have significantly more with over 15,000 or 4,750 inhabitants per km².
Due to the constant expansion of the Cairo - Suez Desert Road, Suez can be reached from Cairo in just over an hour.
Unlike Ismailia and Port Said, Suez is an ancient city foundation.
In an inscription of Ptolemy II Philadelphos (reign 285-246 BC), the so-called Pithom, he reported that he built a city for his sister Arsinoë II (around 316-270 BC).,
which he named after his sister Arsinoë, later Kleopatris or Clysma (Klysma, Kleisma, Greek: Κλυσμα, Κλεισμα).
The city was at the end of the canal from the Nile, which Ptolemy II. 270/269 BC. BC, just north of present-day Suez in the area of the hill Kōm el-Qulzum.
A sanctuary was built in the city and several statues of gods were erected.
Under the Arabs, the city continued to be used.
It was now called el-Qulzum (القلزم) and was named by the Arab historian Abo el-Fidaʾ (1273-1331) as the starting point for pilgrims to continue their journey to eṭ-Ṭōr or Mecca.
The water supply was problematic. There was only one source of fresh water in the el-Qulzum area, which ultimately led to the decline of the settlement.
Suez is reachable via car (Cairo - Suez Desert Road or alternative via Geneva Road), with bus or with train.
Suez Canal
The Suez Canal (قناة السويس) is an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea through the Isthmus of Suez and dividing Africa and Asia.
The Suez Canal was built from 25th September 1859 to 17th November 1859.
The result is a 193.3 km (120.1 mi) long canal that runs from Suez to Port Said.
The Suez Canal was not the first canal to connect the Red Sea Bay to the Mediterranean Sea.
James Henry Breasted attributes the earliest known attempt to construct a canal up through the first cataract to the Sixth Dynasty of Egypt.
But its completion to Senusret III of the Twelfth dynasty of Egypt.
The legendary Sesostris (likely either Pharaoh Senusret II or Senusret III of the Twelfth dynasty of Egypt) may have constructed the ancient canal, the Canal of the Pharaohs, joining the Nile with the Red Sea (BC 1897-1839),
when an irrigation channel was constructed around BC 1848 that was navigable during the flood season, leading into a dry river valley east of the Nile River Delta named Wadi Tumilat.
The expansion intended to nearly double the capacity of the Suez Canal, from 49 to 97 ships per day.
At a cost of LE 59.4 billion (USD 9 Billion), this project was funded with interest bearing investment certificates issued exclusively to Egyptian entities and individuals. The "New Suez Canal".
The new Suez Canal allows ships to transit the canal in both directions simultaneously.
The Egyptian president Abdel Fattah el Sisi declared the expanded channel open to business in a ceremony on 6th August 2015.
