Egypt is quite a popular torist destination (both for "towns, monuments, museums" - Cairo, Luxor, etc. and "seaside resorts" type tourism - Hurdgarda, etc., also Nile cruises are quite popular)...
what about possible spotting on the Suez Canal ?...
what would be best locations ?...
(preferably with reasonably priced hotel close to the canal and in location, where cross-canal ferry or bridge is available to change the sides of the canal with sun travelling)
what would be best time of the year?
what is the intensity of the ship traffic - how many ships one would expect to see during one day or one week ?...
would it be safe to sit whole days with some photo equipment somewhere on the bank of the canal ?...
