The Suez Canal connects which two seas?

The Suez Canal is an artificial sea-level waterway located in Egypt, which serves as a vital shipping route. It directly connects the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, effectively linking Europe with Asia without the need to navigate around Africa. This strategic waterway significantly reduces travel time and costs for maritime trade, making it one of the world's most important shipping lanes.

• The Arabian Sea & Red Sea are connected, but the Suez Canal specifically extends from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean.
• The Black Sea & Caspian Sea are landlocked or semi-landlocked bodies of water in Eastern Europe and Western Asia, not connected by the Suez Canal.
• The Baltic Sea & North Sea are located in Northern Europe and are connected by natural straits and canals like the Kiel Canal, but not the Suez Canal.
