A ferry and a felucca sailing boat at El Kantara. On the reverse 'No. 24 The Suez Canal El Kantara Station. Since time immemorial, El Kantara was an important place for caravans between Egypt and Palestine and it is very probable that Abraham and his sons and later on the Holy Family spent a few days at El Kantara on their journey to Egypt'.
