Burgers & Boutiques

There's not a whole lot to do in Port Said and the town of Suez, though it is interesting to see how the Suez Canal has affected these two towns. Port Said, at the mouth of the canal on the Mediterranean, is especially westernized with it's countless boutiques, high-end hotels, and fast-food restaurants. In fact, in that town it wasn't easy finding a simple Egyptian meal of felafel and ful (cooked beans with sesame paste). Mostly on offer was hamburgers, pizzas, and other western foods.
