Greetings from Egypt! I have relatives from Suez, totally one of the nicest people in Egypt, I love everything about Suez, and I hope I could visit it someday, greetings to our suezi brothers from cairo!

Also, I would like to mention that delecebs, not only was a scammer, but him and his sons had a criminal history in mainland france. Mohammed Ali was great, but his sons didn't really know who they were dealing with...

I was in the military and the best part about going through the Suez was that it meant getting hazard pay for the rest of the deployment. lol

The nerd in me marveled at the Suez and the history as we slowly churned through the Suez and out to the red sea. Was pretty cool to think of the rich history that occured

[MrBettsClass]

Really liked this one. Great job buddy.
