The Suez Canal
The Suez Canal is an artificial sea-level waterway traversing the Isthmus of Suez in Egypt, connecting the Mediterranean and Red Seas. This canal separates Africa from Asia and is the quickest maritime route between Europe and the Indian and western Pacific oceans. It ranks among the world's busiest shipping lanes and represents a significant revenue source for the Egyptian government.
