We ‘celebrated’ the Eidul Adha 1427 Hijr or December 2006 at Damietta and Port Said, Egypt. After the Eid Prayer, we departed Kafr Abdou at about 09:30 am. We reached Damietta which is one of the LNG districts of Egypt, at about 11:15 am. Damietta though is very isolated from other civilization which make him less attractive by investors and the Egyptians itself. The journey was an educative experience for all of us…as one of the famous Malay proverbs says: the further you travel, the more experiences you will gain and earn.
Alhamdullillah Salamah, we arrived at Port Sid town about 12:30 pm. We went straight to the Port area which situated at the mouth of the popular Suez Canal, which is the major source of income for Egypt. After spending about 2 hours along the Corniche exploring the history of the Suez canal which has nasty nickname – Marlborough Suez, we pampered our hungriness with Pizza & KFC, the only few restaurants that opened during the Eid. Most of the shops were closed. Port Said is small but well organized and planed town. It has beautiful mosques, buildings and people.
