The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. The canal, since at least 1956 belongs to Egypt. When it was first built in approximately 1869, it was a French- British company that built and for all practical purposes was "controlled" by these European powers. The canal has no locks and other constructions such as the Panama Canal. The Suez Canal was built as a straight link between the two seas. 11,000 "forced labor" Egyptians built the Canal.
Yes, the Suez Canal is salty because it connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, both of which are saltwater bodies. The canal allows for the exchange of water and salinity between these two seas, contributing to the overall salinity of the water within the canal itself. However, the salinity levels can vary due to factors like evaporation and freshwater inflow from surrounding areas.
