Egypt and Saudi Arabia Want to Build a Bridge Across the Red Sea



The story of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) crossing the Red Sea is recorded in the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran. His miracle allowed the Red Sea to be parted for his followers and he escaped from the pursuit of Pharaoh. No human has a miracle now, but crossing the Red Sea could soon be possible between Saudi Arabia and Egypt using a bridge.


Egyptian Minister of Transport, Kamel al-Wazir, was quoted as saying that Saudi Arabia and Egypt are in discussions to build a bridge to connect the two countries. He also did not rule out that if the bridge is not built, it will be replaced with an undersea tunnel.


There has been no official announcement or location where this bridge will be built. Previously, plans to build a bridge were proposed by King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud but never proceeded.


It is likely that it will be built across the Strait of Tiran near the Gulf of Aqaba to allow the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt to be directly connected to The Line in NEOM, which is being developed by Saudi Arabia as a tourist destination. In the Strait of Tiran, only about 7 kilometers separate the two countries.
