What sea does the Suez Canal connect with? To shorten the route from what sea to what sea, the traffic location is very important. Thank you.

The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea. Shorten the route between the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and the traffic location is very important.

The western part of the canal is a low-lying delta of the Nile, and the eastern part is a rugged and arid Sinai Peninsula. Before the canal was built, the only important block was Suez. Other coastal towns basically developed after the completion of the canal. ? [2]?

Topographically, the topography of Suez is different. There are three shallow and water-filled depressions here: Lake Manzala, Lake Tinsa and Lake Ku. Although they are different in size, they form a continuous water body.

The Suez Canal passes through the Isthmus of Suez, connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. The isthmus consists of marine sediments, coarse sand and gravel accumulated in the early rainfall period, alluvial soil of the Nile (especially in the north) and sand blown by the wind. By digging canals in the isthmus to communicate with the ocean or the sea, the voyage at sea can be saved.

According to the history of Herodotus written by the Greek historian Herodotus, around 600 BC, Necho II began its re-excavation work, but it was not completed.

Around 250 BC, Ptolemy II recovered the Suez Canal. In the next thousand years, it was constantly improved, destroyed and rebuilt, until it was finally abandoned by arman Sool, the caliph of the Abbasid Dynasty of the Arab Empire in the 8th century.

Subsequently, the Suez Canal was excavated and opened intermittently, and it was opened twice for a long time during the Roman period of 1 17 BC and the Umar Ibn Al-Khattab period of 640 AD.
