Suez Canal

The Suez Canal is what bridges Ancient Egypt and Modern Egypt together.

The Suez Canal is the most manly made canal and the first canal connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. It took 10 years to construct and it was completed on 1869 in the Gulf of Suez in Egypt.

This canal was supposed to make routes to places shorter. The first man to start digging was the pharaoh of Egypt; Senausert III.

It was opened for ships to sail through in November 17th 1869. The canal has only one traffic line passing bays, which means there is only one way for boats to pass through.

The canal is mostly used by modern day ships and is the fastest way to go from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean.
