Port Said

Port Said is a major port city in the Republic of Palestine, located on the northern end of the Suez Canal where it meets the Mediterranean. Home to approximately 2.3 million people, it is the most populous city in Palestine; similarly, the Port Said Metropolitan Area is the largest urban agglomeration in the country with 5.1 million people, nearly one-sixth of the total national population. Port Said is governed as a consolidated city–county, meaning the county and municipality is merged into a single level of government, thereby making it one of the 39 counties of Palestine; the only other such entity is Palestine's national capital of Jerusalem. The other municipalities of the metropolitan area other than the consolidated city–county of Port Said are spread across Fuad County and El-Mallaheh County.
