Suez Canal

The Suez Canal (Arabic: قَنَاةُ ٱلسُّوَيْسِ‎, Qanātu as-Suways) is an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea through the Isthmus of Suez and dividing Africa and Asia. The canal is part of the Silk Road that connects Europe with Asia.

Egypt owns and has complete control of the Suez Canal. The canal is totally located in Egypt.

The Suez Canal is in Egypt. It connects the Gulf of Suez (which is the western gulf located at the north of The Red Sea) to the Mediterranean Sea.

The canal was finished in 1869 by a French company. The canal was built by forced labor.

to shorten sailing time from Europe to Asia

^^^ youre an idiot. Suez canal is located in Panama.

it was built to shorten sailing time from the atlantic ocean to the pacific ocean.

Since 1882 Egypt was a colony of the British Empire and while there was a relaxing after World War I they still controlled it after World War II. Since the canal is vital for a sea link to India the British held onto after Egypt and Britain separated. The Crisis in 1956 had Egypt take the canal before an international force was able to break through the blockade.

It didn't. Great Britain ceased to be a nation on 31 December 1800. The United Kingdom came to acquire a share in the Suez Canal in 1875. In 1951 Egypt repudiated the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936. The French and British were forced to defend moves to nationalise the Canal in 1956. The US refused to back its European allies and blackmailed the UK by threatening a run on the pound.

Average temperature during the day in December in Siwa is 22 degrees and a low of 10 degrees at night.

No, the Suez Canal is at sea level throughout its length.

Ferdinand De Lesseps built it to provide shorter shipping routes.

The passage takes between 11 and 16 hours at a speed of 8 knots, if ships need to anchor to let others pass going in the opposite dircction

To sail between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, shipping had to run the gauntlet of sailing round Cape Horn, the southern most tip of South America. Cape Horn was a passage noted for violent storms that could last for several days.

Nothing. One is a motorway in Britain, the other is a canal in Egypt, 2,000 mile away.

The British wanted to construct the Suez Canal in order to sail to Asia without having to sail around Africa. The canal became a vital part of the British Empire because it created a strong link between India and Europe that allowed Britain to maintain control of its overseas possessions.

One of the most important waterways in the world, the Suez Canal runs north to south across the Isthmus of Suez in northeastern Egypt. This image of the canal covers an area 36 kilometers (22 miles) wide and 60 kilometers (47 miles) long in three bands of the reflected visible and infrared wavelength region. It shows the northern part of the canal, with the Mediterranean Sea just visible in the upper right corner. The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Gulf of Suez, an arm of the Red Sea. The artificial canal provides an important shortcut for ships operating between both European and American ports and ports located in southern Asia, eastern Africa, and Oceania. With a length of about 195 kilometers (121 miles) and a minimum channel width of 60 meters (197 feet), the Suez Canal is able to accommodate ships as large as 150,000 tons fully loaded. Because no locks interrupt traffic on this sea level waterway, the transit time only averages about 15 hours.
