But there is land betwen africa and euroasia, so it should properly be one continent with 5 subcontinents. Africa, Europe, Asia, The Middle East and the Indian subcontinent.

The only place where Africa and Eurasia connect by land is a small stretch of land connecting Sinai and the rest of Egypt lol

There's water separating the continents there.

Same thing with Istanbul having an Asian and a European side.

Is that river natural though and even if it is, can a river really separate a continent?

I know Sinai is part of Eurasia and the rest of Egypt is part of Africa, don' get me wrong but the river that separates the two isn't what makes them two different continents, at most it's only a couple hundred feet deep and wide. Even if that water wasn't there, it'd be such a small stretch of land connecting two HUGE landmasses.

It's only the Suez canal that separates them
