Know before you go: A brainchild of Napoleon Bonaparte, the modern Suez Canal is a man-made waterway that snakes its way across Egypt. However, the Egyptian Pharaoh Senusret III might have built an early canal that connected the Red Sea and the Nile River around 1850 B.C. The construction work of the canal is believed to have been finished in the 3rd century B.C. during the rule of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. It is also said that many historical figures, including Cleopatra, travelled on it.
