If you travel along the Suez Canal from Port Said to Suez, you will come across several lakes. Which of the following lakes is not on this Canal ?

The Suez Canal, which connects the Mediterranean Sea at Port Said to the Red Sea at Suez, passes through several natural depressions and lakes. These include Lake Manzala in the north, Lake Timsah near Ismailia, and the Great and Little Bitter Lakes further south. These lakes were utilized during construction to minimize excavation, as they were low-lying tracts or salt-coated valleys. In contrast, Lake Gatun is a major artificial lake located in Panama. It serves as a critical component of the Panama Canal system, providing the intermediate water body that ships reach via locks to cross the Isthmus of Panama. While the Suez Canal is an open-cut waterway without locks, the Panama Canal relies on Lake Gatun's elevation to facilitate transit between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Therefore, Lake Gatun is not part of the Suez Canal route.
