Is the Panama Canal dirty?

The Panama Canal and the surrounding areas around it is as clean as it can be. They enforce littering laws strongly, if a Police personnel or a park enforcement officer see you trowing a piece of paper or food or even a cigarette butt on the ground, you will get at least a $50.00 fine payable immediately by debit or credit card, if you cant pay they take you to one of the police precinct to record you until you pay the fine.

Why is the Suez canal profitable for Egypt?

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.
