ISMAILIA

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 876 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
ISMAILIA , a town of Lower
Egypt
 , the central station on the
Suez
  Canal, on the N.W. shore of Lake Timsa, about 50 m. from the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, and 93 M. N.E. of Cairo by rail. Pop. (1907) 10,393. It was laid out in 1863, in connexion with the construction of the canal, and is named after the
khedive
  Ismail. It is divided into two quarters by the road leading from the landing-place to the railway station, and has numerous public offices, warehouses and other buildings, including a palace of the
khedive
 , used as a
hospital
 
    See Also:
during the British military operations in 1882, but subsequently allowed to fall into a dilapidated
condition
 . The broad macadamized streets and
regular
  squares bordered with trees give the town an attractive
appearance
 ; and it has the advantage, a rare one in
Egypt
 , of being surrounded on three sides by flourishing gardens. The Quai Mehemet Ali, which lies along the canal for upwards of a mile, contains the chalet occupied by Ferdinand de Lesseps during the building of the canal. At the end of the quay are the works for supplying Port Said with water. On the other side of the lake are the so-called Quarries of the Hyenas, from which the building material for the town was obtained.
