About the Dalian to Port Said shipping route
Dalian to Port Said is a 7,688 nautical mile shipping route via Suez Canal, heading north west from China to Egypt. That is 14,237 km of water against 7,842 km as the crow flies.

Shipping time depends on speed. At 14 knots, a common container ship service speed, the passage takes 22.9 days at sea. Slow steaming at 12 knots stretches it to 26.7 days, while 18 knots brings it down to 17.8.
