What is the Suez Canal?
The Suez Canal is in Egypt. It connects the Gulf of Suez with the Mediterranean Sea. There are three main cities along the canal: Suez, Ismailia, and Port Saeed/Said. The Suez Canal joins the Gulf of Suez to the Mediterranean Sea, running generally north-south, and passing roughly 80 miles east of Cairo at its closest. To find it, look for the Gulf of Suez ... the water between the Egyptian mainland and the inverted-triangle-shaped Sinai Peninsula. The Canal takes off north from the northernmost point of the Gulf, where the city of Suez may be indicated.It is a waterway located in Egypt.
