Suez Canal Part 2

I would go and take a look at a map to brush up on what the Suez Canal is and where it is located. It is kind of like the Panama Canal, except it is cut through the dessert and construction first began 4000 years ago. In 1859, Egypt used the same path cut by the pharoahs to build the Suez Canal. 1.5 million Egyptians helped build the canal.

The ships that we see are massive and the captain actually takes us into the canal.
