Africa, Jan 29. - Egypt is one of the world's transcontinental countries due to its unique geographic location. Port Said, on the African continent, and Port Fuad, on the Asian continent, are connected through the Suez Canal, which serves as a natural boundary between Asia and Africa. This canal, in addition to being a strategic maritime route, symbolizes the union between both continents.
Port Said is known for being an important port city, while Port Fuad is quieter and more residential, connected to its African counterpart by ferries that continually cross the canal. This geographic phenomenon highlights the historical and contemporary importance of Egypt as a bridge between cultures and continents (Text and Photo: Cubadebate)
