Correct Answer: 7,000 km. The Suez Canal connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. Nearly, 7000 Kms have been reduced between Europe and India just because of the construction of Suez Canal. A ship that travels from Europe to India had to cross the Cape of Good Hope, which made the ship sail around the entire western part of Africa and half of the coasts of Eastern Africa until the construction of Suez Canal in 1869.
