Red Sea Route

The Red Sea Route is a vital maritime pathway connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean via the Red Sea, primarily through the Suez Canal in Egypt. It enables faster transportation of goods between Europe, Asia, and Africa, reducing the need to navigate around Africa's southern tip. This route is crucial for international trade, particularly for oil and container shipments, as it shortens travel time and costs. Control of this route has strategic geopolitical importance, as it influences global commerce and regional security dynamics.
