Port Said
Port Said Governorate, Egypt
City in northeastern Egypt. It sits on the Mediterranean coast, mildest and greenest between autumn and spring.
Why visit: Cairo's medieval quarters and Alexandria's Mediterranean seafront — cities layered from pharaonic to Ottoman to modern, all still occupied.
- ›Walk one quarter properly rather than crossing the whole city
- ›Carry small notes — almost nothing here takes a card
- ›Agree taxi fares before setting off, or use a ride app instead
- ›Sit in an old coffeehouse for an hour; it is the real thing to do
