The Suez Canal connects the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Ships use the Suez Canal as a shortcut between Asia and Europe and the Americas. Thanks to the Suez Canal, they do not have to use the time or fuel to sail all the way around Africa just to get to Europe.

It is the Suez Canal
The Suez Canal is a seaway connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. This acts as a quick waterway to sail from Europe to Africa and/or Asia, or vice versa.
Suez Canal
Africa
Before the building of eeh Suez canal ships from Europe had to sail round the tip of Africa (often calling in at South Africa for supplies) to reach the Indian Ocean. Now they simply sail through the Mediterranean sea and Suez canal which completely avoids South Africa on their route to the Indian Ocean.
by shortening the sailing time from Europe to Asia, ships do not have to sail round Africa
1) Fly via Air Canada 2) Sail north and try to navigate the North West passage. 3) Sail south and go through the Panema Canal. 4) Sail West, go through Suez Canal and voila, the Eastern Atlantic!

I would guess this, just by looking at the map. London to Malta, then to Egypt. Then, you would use the Suez Canal and go through the Red Sea. Then you would sail the Arabian sea straight to Bombay.
