Nicholas thought I would add some more photos to this interesting thread on what are a very handsome pair of mini liners that played an important part in East Med shipping during the 60's and 70's and which have received little coverage.

Apart from their regular services connecting Egypt and Italy, Greece and Lebanon, I believe they also operated on the pilgrim routes between Egyptian ports and Saudi Arabia and must have also been used for the occasional cruises.

They operated in different classes and also featured a swimming pool at the after end of the promenade deck.

The photos are taken from Old Ship Photos (UK website) and Shipspotting. The brochure is from Timetable Images and a specimen was auctioned recently on ebay and fetched a very high price....too much for my budget!!

Οι φωτογραφίες των αιγυπτιακών αδελφών Syria και Algazayer που ήταν συχνοί επισκέπτες του Πειραιά στα μεσογειακά ταξίδια γραμμής είναι μάλλον σπάνιες και ανέβασα μία του Syria στην ράδα της Αλεξάνδρειας στην δύση του το 1991.
