Victory Day is observed in Egypt every December 23, commemorating the liberation of Port Said and the conclusion of the Suez Crisis. This significant date marks the end of the conflict that began on October 29, 1956, when Israel, France, and Great Britain allied against Egypt over the status of the Suez Canal. The crisis escalated with the occupation of Port Said by British and French paratroopers on November 5, followed by Royal Marines the next day. Due to mounting political and economic pressures, Britain announced a ceasefire on November 6 and began troop withdrawals, completing the process by December 23, when the last soldier left Port Said. Although not a public holiday, Victory Day is an important observance for Egyptians, reflecting national pride and historical significance.
