By giving its name to the famous canal, the city of Suez entered the history of the 20th century with a flourish. From 1859, the mouth of the ancient canal of the Pharaohs, which had become a port of embarkation for pilgrims to Mecca in the Middle Ages, was thus transformed into one of the largest port and industrial complexes in Egypt. Following on from the publications already devoted to Port Said and Ismailia, this monograph, which brings together contributions from historians and architects, unfolds the panorama of the city's long history and invites visitors to continue their architectural stroll through the city's streets.
