The Suez Canal is the only way to get from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian ocean without having to travel all the way around Africa. The Suez Canal is also under the ownership of the Suez Canal Authority which is an Eqyption holding. Ships must pay to use the canal, like a toll road, otherwise they would have to pay much more to traverse the much greater distance to go around Africa.
