Event Description
This fascinating exhibition looks at the 4000 year saga of the Suez Canal. Beginning in the time of the Pharaohs only to be realised in 1869; the epic project to create a shortcut between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea has been one of the most controversial undertakings the world has ever seen.
