North Sinai to Receive Region's Largest Desalination Plant

North Sinai is building the largest desalination plant in Africa and the Middle East at a cost of USD 97 million, just north of El Arish city.

The plant will be able to supply clean water to homes across the governorate - including the capital El Arish, Sheikh Zuweid, Rafah and central Sinai - through its main lines, with a production paracity of 100,000 cubic metres of water per day during the first phase, and 300,000 cubic metres of water per day upon completion of the second phase.
