The correct answer is Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea.
The Suez Canal is an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. It is one of the world’s most important shipping lanes.
The Suez Canal provides a direct route for shipping between Europe and Asia, avoiding the long circumnavigation of Africa via the Cape of Good Hope. It was completed in 1869.
