Ash-Sharq
8.2
Mid score (6-8)
Ash-Sharq is the eastern face of Port Said along the Mediterranean coast and includes the city's corniche, which is where residents actually go to walk and socialize — making it the most publicly accessible part of the city for an outsider. Port Said's long history as a trading port means locals here are more accustomed to unfamiliar faces than you'd find in Egypt's interior. A foreign man isn't unwelcome but this is still a canal city going about its business, not a social scene. The most viable base in the governorate if you have a reason to be in Port Said.
