The Suez Canal
The Suez Canal is located in the country of Egypt. This canal was opened in 1869 and connects the Red Sea with the Mediterranean Sea.
The Suez Canal was built to shorten sailing time to India and SE Asia. The Canal eliminated the need to make the long (and sometimes dangerous) trip around the southern tip of Africa.
The Suez Canal goes through some Egyptian cities: Suez, Ismaelia and Port Said.
