Which two seas are connected by the Suez Canal?

• A. Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea
• B. Black Sea and Aegean Sea
• C. Red Sea and Arabian Sea
• D. Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea

Answer: (A)

The Suez Canal provides a direct link between two seas: the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. It runs between the Sinai Peninsula and Egypt’s mainland, creating a man-made shortcut that lets ships travel from the Mediterranean into the Red Sea (and onward toward the Indian Ocean) without circumnavigating Africa. That direct connection is what the canal is designed to provide. The other pairings aren’t connected by this canal: the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea are linked by different waterways through Europe and Turkey, while the Red Sea connects to the Arabian Sea farther south via natural routes, not through the canal itself.
