TheDad.com: “Suez Canal Simulator Next Step in Simulator Game Evolution... Simulator games are all the rage these days. We've got the Farming Simulator series selling millions of copies. Microsoft Flight Simulator wowed players with its realistic flight physics. There’s even Lawn Mowing Simulator launching later this summer and dads everywhere are losing their minds. You’d think simulator games couldn’t get any better than this, right? … Wrong! Jason Dial’s ‘Suez Canal Simulator’ looks to shake things up and has me asking myself questions like: “Is it possible for simulator games to evolve to even greater heights?” Read the review at:

Take control of the Suez Canal with this commercial-grade PC simulator that will visually and intellectually blow your mind! Pilot a ship from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea and back. Take part in prototypical northbound or southbound convoys. Travel thru Egypt and feel the wind in your hair and the sand in your eyes. A full 1:1 scale re-creation of the 193-kilometer-long waterway that changed the world, the Suez Canal!
BREAKING NEWS... The real Suez Canal has reopened after a nearly week-long closure due to the grounding of the 400-meter container ship Ever Given on Tuesday, March 23, 2021 due to high winds and sandstorm. Efforts to free the massive container ship succeeded early Monday, March 29, but the Suez Canal Authority needed time to inspect and repair damage to the canal before it reopened late Monday afternoon.
While the dredgers worked to free the ship, the Internet went mad with Suez Canal memes.
A LITTLE HISTORY
The history of the Suez Canal predates Cleopatra with a manmade waterway linking the ancient cities surrounding Cairo with the Red Sea. Built under the leadership of Ferdinand de Lesseps, the Suez Canal opened for passage in 1869 and instantly revolutionized global travel and commerce. The canal was operated by the British and the French until 1956 when it was nationalized by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser.
The Suez Crisis of 1956 was an ill-fated attempt by the British, French, and Israelis to seize control of the canal. The Six Days War found a fleet of 15 ships stranded in the canal from 1967 until 1975, nicknamed the 'Yellow Fleet' from their decks always being covered with blowing sand. The 1973 Yom Kippur War littered the banks of the canal with the remnants of war, much of which is still visible today.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Simulating a journey thru the Suez Canal allows you to gain an understanding of what to expect on the real journey. After a trip through my Suez Canal, you will be graced with the knowledge a seasoned mariner would need in order to approach such a journey with confidence. If you plan on taking a trip through the Suez Canal then this simulator will teach you the canal waterways, the sea approaches, anchorage and port locations, and the locations of lighthouses, range lights, buoys, and signal stations.
If you've never been thru the Suez Canal in real life and never expect to take such a journey, have no fear, a trip thru my Suez Canal will satisfy your desire to travel through such an exotic and meaningful place with no risk at all. You'll be able to discuss this journey and its importance with anyone who has taken the real thing. And you'll probably be able to teach them a thing or two.
A SPECTACULAR PC SIMULATOR
Start just outside the canal and follow the buoys and range lights into the canal, or take the long approach from north or south and spend some time at sea as you look for land and lights. Choose your time of day. Transit the canal at night using nothing but the lights. Accelerate time or immerse yourself in a real-time simulation of a 14-hour canal transit and hours at open sea.
Drive legendary ocean liners, massive container ships, or Suezmax oil tankers and sail thru the canal on the winds of Egypt's fertile plain and the Sinai Peninsula. Meet ships along the way and take care to avoid collisions in the canal. Watch for traffic and signals in the canal or watch the sun rise and set over the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. With buttery-smooth physics, rich vivid graphics, and ultra-realistic atmosphere and lighting, Suez Canal Simulator will set the standard for PC simulator games for years to come.
