Fast Facts: •2,781 kilometers (1,730 miles) long •Developed since 4000 B.C. •Due to terrain river floods easily •Empties into the Persian Gulf•Annual flow of 990 billion cubic feet
Jordan River
The Jordan River is the river with the lowest elevation in the world. It rises on the slopes of Mount Hermon, on the Syrian-Lebanese border, flows southward through northern Israel to the Sea of Galilee, and then divides Israel and the Israeli-occupied West Bank on the west from Jordan on the east before emptying into the Dead Sea at an elevation of about 1,312 feet below sea level. The Jordan is more than 223 miles in length, but, because its course is meandering, the actual distance between its source and the Dead Sea is less than 124 miles.
BACK
Suez Canal
It is an artificial waterway running north to south across the Isthmus of Suez in northeastern Egypt; it connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Gulf of Suez, an arm of the Red Sea. The canal provides a shortcut for ships operating between both European and American ports and ports located in southern Asia, eastern Africa, and Oceania.

Persian Gulf
The Persian Gulf lies to the north of Saudi Arabia and to the south of Iran. It is described as an arm of the Arabian Sea between the Arabian Peninsula and southwest Iran. It has been an important trade route since ancient times and gained added strategic significance after the discovery of oil in the Gulf States in the 1930s.

Strait of Hormuz
Located between Oman and Iran, the Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. Hormuz is the world's most important oil chokepoint due to its daily oil flow of 16.5-17 million barrels, which is roughly 20 percent of oil traded worldwide. The majority of oil exported through the Strait of Hormuz travels to Asia, the United States and Western Europe.
