The Delta and the north coast · Port Tewfik, Suez

Suez's fish tables

Red Sea fish at its northern entrance, far from the resorts.

€€ Mid-rangeOff the beaten track

Suez fishes the gulf and serves its catch in plain rooms in Port Tewfik, with the queue of waiting ships as scenery. The town sees few visitors, and prices bear no relation to Hurghada's.

The extra bit

Ask what was landed that morning: the menu follows the boat, not the other way round.

Know before you go

A port zone: photography is restricted in places, follow what locals do.
