	Suez Canal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Suez Canal (Arabic: قناة السويس, Qanā al-Suways), west of the Sinai Peninsula, is a 190-km-long (163 miles) and, at its narrowest point, 300-m-wide (984 ft) maritime canal in Egypt between Port Said (Būr Sa'īd) on the Mediterranean Sea, and Suez (al-Suways) on the Red Sea.
		This caused Britain, France, and Israel to invade, in the week-long Suez Crisis of 1956.
		Because of leakage problems, in the period 1992–1995 a new water-tight tunnel was built inside the old one.

		Suez Canal, artificial waterway running north to south across the Isthmus of Suez in northeastern Egypt; it connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Gulf of Suez, an arm of the Red Sea.
		In 1858 La Compagnie Universelle du Canal Maritime de Suez (Universal Company of the Maritime Suez Canal) was formed with authority to cut a canal and to operate it for 99 years, after which ownership would return to the Egyptian government.

		Suez Canal is raking in the revenues: before the US invasion of Iraq last year, Egypt's Suez Canal Authority predicted that a fully-fledged war in the Middle East would disrupt regional maritime traffic, slashing canal revenues by 10% or more.

		Suez is the largest multinational shareholder with a 55% stake in Aguas del Illimani Sociedad Anónima (AISA), the water utility that was privatized on 24 July 1997, as a condition of debt relief.
