Where is Ismailia?

Situated approximately halfway along the Suez Canal, on the western shore of Lake Timsah, Ismailia is 100km from Cairo, 145km from the pyramids, 335 km from Alexandria, 450km from Hurghda and Sharm el Shekh and 600km from Port Ghalib.

Ismailia is the overnight, mandatory stop, for yachts (all vessels under 300T) transiting the canal.

A development plan to improve the facilities at Ismailia Yacht Marina began in April 2022 and was completed in September 2023 with the marina now offering 120 berths and enhanced bunkering services and maintenance facilities.

See Suez Canal Transit Information for more details.

The town, which is about 1km from the marina, has some quite attractive areas with parks and many old colonial houses (including Ferdinand de Lesseps).
