Question

suez canal?

Explanation:

To determine the location of the Suez Canal, we recall its geographical position: it connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, located in Egypt, between the African continent and the Sinai Peninsula. Looking at the map, marker 1 is positioned in Egypt, near the area where the Suez Canal is located (connecting the Mediterranean and Red Sea, separating Africa from the Sinai). Other markers are in different regions (e.g., 2 in Jordan/Israel area, 3 in Turkey/Syria, 4 in Iran, 5/6 in Arabian Peninsula interior, 7/8 in Africa south or east). So marker 1 corresponds to the Suez Canal's location.
