When travelling within Egypt, there are places where you relax and others you visit for shopping. Sometimes, though, you just want to have some beach fun, or you become eager to have some satisfying food to match your city lifestyle. So, guess what? Port Said has got a bit of everything we just mentioned! How about we give you a tour around the city?

Beach Time

Start by taking a walk on the beach in the chilly February weather, then get comfy on a cosy beanbag and order a hot winter drink (like Hummus El-Sham or Sahlab). And you’ll get all of that for 50 LE! What else would we need?

Port Said’s sand is speckled with white seashells that are simply glorious. So, when you’re taking a picture, it looks like diamonds! The beaches have no entrance fees if you’re just walking around. However, a chair or a beanbag with a table can cost you around 25 LE.

Thrift Shopping

Port Said is, as we all know, a gold mine of imported goods. There is a number of streets, like El-Geesh Street or El-Gomhorya Street, that have high-quality clothes and shoes with relatively low prices, compared to Cairo. Of course, some people find that the fashion styles don’t match their own, but who doesn’t need comfy denim jeans or basic cotton T-shirts?

We all know how expensive winter clothes can get. Therefore, we happily announce that you can get these simple, elegant jackets or coats for almost half their prices in Cairo. Let’s stay fancy yet on budget, people!

Food Cravings

Whether you’re into seafood or not, there are spots for all types of food. For budget-friendly fine dining, go to Gawaher El-Bon, which has a sea view and a variety of main courses, side dishes, and desserts.

Craving burgers? There is a restaurant called Oldies, which has the best burgers out there! With the exquisite beef, buns, and toppings, what could go wrong?

For hardcore seafood fans, the restaurants won’t cut it for you. Hence, we recommend visiting the fish market where you get to choose your fish, shrimp, crabs, and more signature Port Said-y seafood! There are even cooks who will prepare these dishes the way you like them. Now, what else you’ll need? Get the rice, tahini, or whatever else you desire, take your delicious order and enjoy it at the market, or go to the beach and have a unique beach picnic!

By the time you’re done, we think you’ll need a mean cup of coffee to continue on the adventure! Head to Rankers and try its one-of-a-kind Iced Latte, which is made with coffee-flavoured ice cream. After that, well, you’ll know why it is special!
