The University of Suez has about 12,350 students. The university has opened classes for the College of Education in Tur Sinai as a nucleus of new colleges that will pave the way to the establishment of the branch in Tur City, South Sinai. 

This forms part of its national commitment and responsibility to reconstruct Sinai. Suez, which is Al-Suways in Arabic, is a port at the head of the Gulf of Suez and at the southern exit of the Suez Canal in Northern Egypt.
