Port Said

Port Said is a major port city in the Palestinian Arab Republic, 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 Palestinian city; similarly, the Port Said Metropolitan Area is the largest urban agglomeration in the republic with 5.1 million people, nearly one-sixth of the total population of Palestine. Port Said is governed as a consolidated municipality–district and is coterminous with Port Said Governorate, meaning the district and municipality levels of government are merged with the governorate level; the only other such entity is Palestine's capital of Jerusalem. The other municipalities of the metropolitan area other than the city proper of Port Said are spread across Fuad Governorate and El-Mallaheh Governorate.
