Canals were built for transport and for boats to go on them. Canals exist in many parts of the world; some of the most important are the Suez Canal, at the eastern tip of the Mediterranean (cutting through the Sinai desert) and the Panama Canal, in Central America. Canals are built to enable ships and boats to travel from one body of water to another.
