The Suez Canal connects the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea and lies between Egypt and Israel.
It was built to give access to the Mediterranean Sea from the Gulf States in order to save shipping to Europe the journey around Africa.

The Panama Canal is situated across Panama to connect the Caribbean Sea with The Pacific Ocean, again to facilitate shipping access without having to pass around South America.

Suez and Panama are canals not channels. Both are man made canals.

The Suez Canal (Qanā al-Suways in Arabic), is a large artificial canal in Egypt, west of the Sinai Peninsula. It is 163 kms (101 miles) long and 300 m (984 ft) wide at its narrowest point, and runs between Port Said (Būr Sa'īd) on the Mediterranean Sea, and Suez (al-Suways) on the Red Sea.The canal allows two-way water transportation, most importantly between Europe and Asia without circumnavigation of Africa.It was opened in 1869.

The Panama Canal (Canal de Panamá in Spanish) is a major ship canal that traverses the Isthmus of Panama in Central America, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It is 77 kms (48 miles) long and was opened in 1914.
