a part of the Indian Ocean. It lies between the Arabian Peninsula and East Africa. The Suez Canal connects it to the Mediterranean Sea. |
| Suez Canal |
The Suez Canal is a canal in the country of Egypt. A canal is like a river, but it is made by people and machines. The Suez Canal was made in order to make a link between two seas, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The Suez Canal was opened for use by ships in 1869. This canal is very important because it gives ships a shortcut when they travel between distant continents, especially between Europe and Asia. Let's say a store in Italy wants to sell TVs that come from Japan. Those TVs might come to Italy on a ship that goes through the Suez Canal. |
