The length of the canal is 193 km, starting from Port Said in the north and ending at Port Tawfiq in the south.

The Egyptian government has committed itself to providing 80% of the workers needed to dig the canal and ceding all the land needed for this to the French company that got got the concession. The digging of the canal lasted ten years from 1859 to 1869, and nearly one million Egyptian workers participated in it, of whom more than 120 thousand died during the digging process as a result of hunger, thirst, epidemics and ill-treatment.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_4559\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4559\" style=\"width: 355px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theworldinstamps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Egypt-1956-YT384.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theworldinstamps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Egypt-1956-YT384.jpg?resize=355%2C740\" alt=\"Nationalization of the Suez Canal\" width=\"355\" height=\"740\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4559\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a0Nationalization of the Suez Canal &#8211; Egypt 1956<\/figcaption><\/figure><h2>Nationalization of the Suez Canal<\/h2><p>After the success of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theworldinstamps.com\/?p=2902\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Free Officers Revolution in Egypt in July 1952<\/a>, Egypt adopted ambitious development plans. The most important project was the construction of the High Dam to provide the country&#8217;s electricity needs. But Egypt was faced with the refusal of the World Bank, Britain and the United States of America, to contribute to financing the construction.<\/p><p>Because of this international rejection,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theworldinstamps.com\/?p=2938\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser<\/a>\u00a0took the decision to nationalize the Suez Canal\u00a0.
