Amr Ibn el-As rebuilt the canal after the Islamic takeover of Egypt creating a new supply line from Cairo, but was closed a final time to cut off supplies to insurgents located in the Delta.

Likewise, the Panama Canal of Latin America links all of the shipping and stopping points along the Atlantic and Caribbean coastlines of the United States with those along the country's Pacific coastlines.
