http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Timsah
The very first line of the article says the lake lies in a basin. And the city of Ismailia is on its northern bank.
I think the mystery is therefore solved.
You should know not to present me with a geography puzzle.![]()
I guess Ismailia is the name of the town and the author was using 'Ismail' as an adjective.
