Dossier: The Suez Canal

This dossier collects Magna Bureau’s coverage of the Suez Canal in one place: the chokepoint page that explains why the canal matters, the news articles that track the ships returning and the politics around the waterway, the factbook profile of Egypt, the energy pages for what transits the canal, and the rankings page that scores its holder. The Suez Canal is an artificial waterway in Egypt connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, cutting the voyage between Europe and Asia by roughly ten days compared with rounding Africa. About 12 percent of world trade and a large share of container traffic pass through it.
