Taking a car on the Port Said–Port Fouad ferry

This page treats vehicles as a different route from pedestrians. It does not publish unconfirmed weight, height or price limits; it sets out what to ask the operator before queueing.

Sources reviewed 9 November 2026

Verification status

  • Vehicles accepted: Suez Canal Authority material from 2026 describes people and vehicles crossing, but does not prove every class is accepted.
  • Size and weight limits: Not documented; ask before bringing a vehicle.
  • Vehicle charge: Not documented; confirm at the boarding gate.

This is an independent planning page. No current timetable, fare or specific boarding gate has been confirmed by the operator; check official notices and crew instructions at both banks before travelling.

Questions to ask before queueing

Suez Canal Authority material from February and April 2026 refers to people and vehicles crossing and to works at the berths, but it does not specify that every vehicle class is accepted on every vessel or at every gate. Confirming your vehicle class therefore comes before deciding to wait in a car queue.

Also ask about the entry and exit route on both banks, because the vehicle gate may not sit next to the pedestrian entrance and the arrangement may change during development works.

  • Which vehicle classes are accepted on this route today?
  • Are there size, weight or load restrictions?
  • Where does queueing start and where does it end after landing?
  • What charges apply to the vehicle and its passengers?

Safety while waiting and boarding

Stay in the assigned lane, do not cross barriers or block operating gates, and follow the crew signal when boarding, remaining stationary on deck and disembarking. An old photograph of a car on a ferry does not establish the rules in force today.

If the vehicle carries children or someone who needs assistance, agree in advance who stays in the car and who moves to the passenger area, according to crew instructions.

Frequently asked questions

Does the ferry accept all cars?

Nothing confirms that. Official material describes vehicle crossings in general, but acceptance of a specific class needs confirmation at the gate.

Are there separate charges for cars?

Charges may vary by vehicle class, but no current tariff is documented here; confirm with the operator.

Can the driver stay in the vehicle?

That is an operating decision made by the crew; ask when boarding and do not assume a general rule.

Your Google Analytics choice is stored in this browser’s localStorage, not a necessary cookie. If allowed, GA4 can load its browser script and use measurement cookies. Declining disables future GA collection through this page’s controls and prevents loading on later visits with a saved refusal; it does not unload an already loaded script or delete Google’s cookies.

This is an independent guide, not an operator or booking service. There are no accounts, payments or contact form. The embedded map contacts Google when loaded; current images, styles and icons are local, while external links contact their providers.

Cloudflare hosts the pages and processes technical request/connection data for delivery and security. Hosting analytics are separate from the Google Analytics choice; a Web Analytics browser beacon reference was observed in a production HTML response on 2026-10-30. Its presence does not establish execution or data transmission. When it runs, the beacon measures visits, page views and performance, with dimensions such as page/referrer, country, browser, device and operating system when it runs. This page has no hosting-measurement switch and does not claim declining GA stops those processes.

The guide does not request your device location or show live sailing/weather status. Symbolic graphics are not photographs, and historical documentary photographs are not evidence of present operation. Check operator notices at both banks.
