Tarh El-Bahr isn't just a street; it's a living testament to Port Said's evolution. The name itself, meaning "the sea's offering", reflects the area's historical development, where the sea gradually receded, leaving behind new land. This coastal strip became a prime location for development, transforming into the bustling promenade it is today. Stretching along the coastline, Tarh El-Bahr offers a diverse experience for visitors. You can stroll along the waterfront, enjoying the refreshing sea breeze and panoramic views of the Mediterranean. The promenade is lined with cafes, restaurants, and shops, offering a variety of options for dining and entertainment. Many establishments stay open late, allowing visitors to enjoy the enchanting evening atmosphere. Historically, the shoreline was once further inland, near what is now Rue Eugenie. As the sea retreated, areas like the De Lesseps promenade emerged. Today, Tarh El-Bahr is a hub of activity, attracting both locals and tourists. It's a place to relax, socialize, and soak in the unique atmosphere of Port Said.
