About Port Said
Port-Said
was founded in 1859 by the Suez Canal Company shortly after excavation
on the canal commenced In 1976,
Port-Said was declared the free zone. The exemption of sellable
internationally imported goods from custom duties and taxes greatly
favored the expansion of tourism in the area. Economic life and Harbour
activities are closely linked to the existence of the canal: shipping
agencies, import-export firms, many imported merchandises. A new port is
now being constructed east of Port-Fouad.
After establishing East Port Said
Zone, it will become of the biggest and important Hub Ports in the world
to control the international trade between East and West.
Tourism is particularly developed in
Port-Said: Mediterranean cruises regularly call at Port-Said, and there
are many hotels of various categories in town, as well as touristy
villages. The western coast of Port-Said is an especially important
touristy area where two touristy villages have already been constructed.
Port-Said has good transport links to the country's major cities by road
and railway. There are two main roads: one connects Port Said and Cairo
via Ismailia, and the other roads west connecting Port-Said with the
cities of the Nile Delta via Damietta.
Due to its location at the entrance
to the Suez Canal, Port-Said derives its main sources of income from the
port and canal operations. The city has the distinct European flair
which is reflected in the building style and the way of living of the
city's inhabitants.
The Egyptian International Trade Point Affiliated to The World Trade
Point Federation (WTPF), an international non-governmental organization
established in 2000, grew out of an innovative programme of the United
Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). Through a network
of more than 120 trade information and facilitation centres, known as
Trade Points.
