Ismāʿīl cercò di ridurre il [[schiavitù|traffico di schiavi]] e di estendere il ruolo dell'Egitto in Africa. Nel 1874 egli annetté il [[Darfur]], ma la sua espansione in [[Etiopia]] fu bloccata dopo una seria sconfitta patita a Gura' nel marzo del 1876.

===SuezCanale Canaldi Suez===<!--
Ismail's khedivate is closely connected to the building of the [[Suez Canal]]. He agreed to, and oversaw, the Egyptian portion of its construction. On his accession, he refused to ratify the concessions to the Canal company made by Said, and the question was referred in 1864 to the arbitration of Napoleon III, who awarded £ 3,800,000 to the company as compensation for the losses they would incur by the changes which Ismail insisted upon in the original grant. Ismail then used every available means, by his own undoubted powers of fascination and by judicious expenditure, to bring his personality before the foreign sovereigns and public, and he had much success. In 1867 he visited Paris and [[London]], where he was received by [[Victoria of the United Kingdom|Queen Victoria]] and welcomed by the [[Lord Mayor of London|Lord Mayor]]. Whilst in England he also saw a [[Fleet Review, Royal Navy#Queen Victoria|Royal Navy Fleet Review]] with the [[Ottoman Sultan]]. In 1869 he again paid a visit to [[England]]. When the canal finally opened, Ismail held a festival of unprecedented scope, inviting dignitaries from around the world.
