The Quiz: The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea to what other sea?
Red Sea
Black Sea
Dead Sea
Caspian Sea
Though a series of small canals connecting the Nile River to the Red Sea were in use as far back as 2000 BCE, the Suez Canal enabled direct passage between the two when it opened on November 17, 1869. An estimated 1.5 million people worked on the 10-year project, which cost around $100 million, more than double the original estimate.
The correct answer to this quiz is Red Sea.
