Egypt is building the world’s largest artificial river, which will transform 9,200 square kilometers of desert into a new Nile Delta, helping feed its exploding population. Announced in March 2021 by Egyptian president Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, the project will involve new canals and artificial rivers to redirect agricultural wastewater from the Nile River to a new water treatment plant. It will then be used to irrigate 9,200 square kilometers of desert into farmland, creating a region called The New Delta. The project will create a list of benefits, such as increasing Egyptian food security, exports, and helping solve the water scarcity problem. Since announced, construction has advanced significantly.

Hey guys, thanks for watching! What do you think about Egypt’s New Delta?
Crimea has been in Russia's hands since 2014 (and depending on the outcome of the war, it still will be). Get over it.
This project wouls help Egypt a lot.
"Mister President, the new cities aren't helping with the overpopulation! What do we do?"
"Just build more cities!"
"How, Mister President? There is no more arable land!"
"Just build more land!"
"But Mister President, the land needs river to sustain itself!"
"Just build more river!"

Those Arabs need to stop have 4 Wives and Produce massive babies, suse CONDOMS!
Egypt is gonna go bankrupt my word 😭
So that's why they don't allow us (Ethiopian ) to use our resources
Insane construction projects is in their DNA
On paper it's appealing, but I guess they will never reach the target due to the economic situation of Egypt.
Imagine, western nation keeps limiting its population while the whole muslim worlds population is exploding.
New deltarune chapter?
After a look on google maps I think they need to start removing the slums first
For those who don't know, ElSisis is a dictator (it's actually trump who said that), he drowned his country in debt to build a city in the desert with all the fancy monuments and large government buildings so he lives away from the people who suffer from poverty because this dictator has decreased the value of Egyptian currency from 7EGP/USD to 50EGP/USD due to the vast amount of loans he got from the IDF.
The mentioned project will never happen because Egypt under the control of this dictator has become one of the most corrupt countries and the money assigned to this project will be stolen and transferred to Swiss banks before it can do anything helpful.
Remember folks: NOTHING GOOD COMES FROM DICTATORS.
😮😮😮Thats for trade
Here is america, i recently lernt that we have such a water problem that the government is wanting people to reintroduce bevers to streams as they can hold back water, and recharge the water table so more water is available in the coming years

All this is nonsense that we call in Egypt (Fankoush). This thief who sits on the throne will never bring any good.

Brilliant idea, making use of water pouring in the ocean day and night.

No cocaine based project like the "Line".. Just pure realistic needed projects thats why everyone supports Egypt.
good
The problem is not creating a new delta or new farm land , the problem is the Nile river that cannot support the water consumption of this lands
Ethiopia has more people than Egypt. Yet the pharaohs believe that they are more entitled to rain falling in Ethiopia than the Ethiopian farmer! What a world!
تحيا مصر 2024 / 2025 🇪🇬🇪🇬
No one can take a drop of water from the Egyptian cut of the river Nile 🇪🇬💪🇪🇬
In fact, the new delta will be about the same position of a it was long time ago….
