Suez Canal

The Suez Canal runs over 100 miles, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. Unlike the Panama Canal, it does not consist of locks, instead, it maintains roughly the same water level as both seas, and consists of two parts that flow into lakes. It takes roughly eleven to sixteen hours to cross the canal. It can only allow one-way passage of ships, but there are three separate convoys that pass through it per day. Generally, two south bound and one north bound convoy passes through each day. The canal is now under Egyptian control, and thousands of chips pass through it per year.
