What does this number measure?
The Suez Canal Authority publishes a length of 193.30 km. The map follows the main lines published by Natural Earth, including coasts and lakes. The independent bar compares the navigation length; channel widths and textures are illustrative. The route is simplified and does not detail all current approaches, locks or parallel channels.
Compare the stated dimensions
The comparison uses the number in each fact sheet: altitude, height, diameter, length or distance, depending on the reference. Two values in metres do not necessarily describe the same property.
Source and limitations
Representative or rounded dimensions according to the source; these are not a confidence interval.

The independent bar represents the reference navigation length; the canal's width and textures are illustrated. This drawing does not show every current approach, lock or parallel channel in detail.
