"Denial ain't just a river in Egypt."
Mark Twain
The Suez Canal was opened in 1869 to provide navigational traffic between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. This makes navigating from Europe to Asia economical beneficial without the need of navigating around Africa. It takes most ships 11 to 16 hours to navigate through the Suez Canal. It is 300 meters wide( (984 feets) and 163 kms(101 miles) long. It's extremely important for ships to reduce speed to prevent erosion to the canal banks by the ship's wakes. Follow me from the North to the South of the Suez Canal as my ship leaves the Mediterranean to enter the Red Sea enroute to the Persian Gulf.
