De Lesseps' House
The residence of the one-time French consul to Egypt used to be open to the public. These days, however, you can see the interior only if you're a VIP of some sort, as the building currently serves as a private guesthouse for visitors of the Suez Canal Authority.

Garden of the Stelae
Garden of the Stelae is a garden containing a rather forlorn little sphinx from the time of Ramses II. You need permission from the museum to visit the garden, but you are able to see the unremarkable statue from the street. The attractive grounds of the majestic residence between the garden and the museum belong to the head of the Suez Canal Authority and are off limits to the public.

Ismailia Museum
More than 4000 objects from Pharaonic and Graeco-Roman times are housed at the small but interesting Ismailia Museum, located on the eastern edge of town. The collection includes statues, scarabs, stelae and records of the first canal, built between the Bitter Lakes and Bubastis by the Persian ruler Darius. The highlight of the museum is a 4th-century AD mosaic depicting characters from Greek and Roman mythology.
