Question

Ships from which of the following countries have to cross the Strait of Hormuz to reach the Indian Ocean? 1. Bahrain 2. Syria 3. Qatar 4. Egypt

Accepted Answer

Bahrain is entirely within the Persian Gulf — its ships must pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Qatar is a peninsular country on the Persian Gulf — its ships must also cross the Strait. Syria is on the Mediterranean Sea (uses Suez Canal/Bab el-Mandeb). Egypt borders the Red Sea (uses Bab el-Mandeb).
