From the mysterious splendor of the Pyramids to the awesome beauty of the River Nile, Egypt is more than a destination. It is the birthplace of civilization. With four luxurious hotels and two cruise ships, the Sonesta allows guests to experience Egypt with a style and charm that blends seamlessly with the native surroundings. Located at the northeast corner of Africa, the Sonesta Hotel Port Said stands between the vibrant activity of the Suez Canal and the calm beauty of the Mediterranean Sea. Port Said is a popular meeting place for business professionals and is well known for its duty-free shopping. While dining in an authentic Italian restaurant or lounging by the poolside bar, guests can also enjoy a privileged vantage point overlooking great ship convoys as they pass to and from the Mediterranean Sea. The hotel features 110 spacious guestrooms and suites, including a new executive floor, with views overlooking the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean Sea. Each room is equipped with a satellite TV, in-room movies, individual climate control, a direct dial telephone, and smoke detectors.
