Eventually there is one passage
There were a few turns in the canal
Tugboat followed us all day
The sky was never blue today
You can see the two channels
Guard houses
Tents set up by their vehicles
The major cities on the canal have around 700 to 750 thousand residents
Fishermen
No motorized boats here
Look what a difference fresh water makes
The best scenery is on the opposite side
The sand is always blowing off of the dunes
Fishing
A tanker
Hard work
Going south
There must be a lot of fish in this canal
Which way to go?
It's a man's world
Many different types of vessels
Italian registry
Nice scenery
The friendship bridge
New watch tower
We could see a fountain of water gushing
The water must have come from dredgers on the opposite side
Continuous rock wall lined the canal
The only bridge to span this canal
Taking in the nets
Had to work fast, since we were on the way
Another military complex
Egyptian fishermen
Still watching from the bow
Fairly new, constructed with the help from Japan
Modern design
Thomson ship just went under
Getting near the end
There goes the car carrier
Another guard house
Reminds us of the new span on the SF Bay Bridge
Plenty of clearance
Moving ahead
Very slowly
This bridge is 2.4 miles long
New build
Looks like a truck stop
Better than a ferry
Looks deserted
Amsterdam singers and dancers practicing
Love Crazy is their show tonight
Singers
Completing the transit soon
Pigeon towers
Every farm house had them
Farm living on the canal
Every building has a guard tower
Canal living
Place to park your boat
One-laner now
A small mosque
Clever-made bird house from ancient times
Perches and holes for the pigeons to enter
The road was busy
A few cattle
A guard sits in here all day
Vented on the top
Getting close to Port Said
More cows
Industrial part of Port Said
Old farmhouse
Even roadside bird towers
Agricultural property
Typical house
Miles of the same scenery
Interesting construction
Irrigated from the Nile
The perfect house
Keeping to the right
Little mosques everywhere
