Suez Canal Location: Egypt, Connecting Two Seas

The Suez Canal is located entirely within Egypt, a transcontinental country spanning northeast Africa and the Sinai Peninsula (Asia). It runs north-south across the Isthmus of Suez, connecting:

• Mediterranean Sea (at Port Said) — Atlantic/Mediterranean access
• Red Sea (at Port Suez / Gulf of Suez) — Indian Ocean access

Geopolitically, Egypt is in North Africa and the Middle East. The canal separates the African mainland (west bank) from the Sinai Peninsula (east bank, Asia). It is one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, handling ~12% of global trade volume.
