Suez sits where the Suez Canal meets the Red Sea, a large Egyptian port city whose strategic position has shaped it for millennia — its ancient predecessor, Clysma, was already a major Red Sea trading hub. The city operates three ports and is Egypt's largest city on the Red Sea coast. During the October 1973 war, residents held the city against Israeli forces, a resistance led by figures including Sheikh Hafez Salama. Oil refineries and petrochemical plants define its modern industrial character, with pipelines connecting it to Cairo.
