In a bid to address its demographic challenges, Egypt has unveiled an ambitious project aimed at transforming its desert landscape into a habitable area suitable for agriculture and urban settlement.
Egypt's proposal involves the conversion of the desert region in the Qattara Depression into a liveable environment.
The centrepiece of this groundbreaking initiative is the construction of a 55 km canal, dubbed by many as Egypt's £1.5bn 'mini Suez Canal', which will channel water from the Mediterranean Sea into the heart of the desert.
Once completed, this engineering marvel will result in the flooding of the Qattara Depression, creating a sprawling 20,000 square kilometre lake.
