The Red Sea Bridge
Lesson Brief
Al Arabiya
On April 8, Al Arabiya reported that Egypt and Saudi Arabia announced plans to partner on a Red Sea bridge connecting the two countries. The project is expected to boost the Egyptian economy by strengthening commercial relations with Saudi Arabia, which has grown closer to Egypt since the ouster of Mohamed Morsi. The agreement came about during Saudi King Salman's visit to Egypt. The plan was originally abandoned in 2005 under the government of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
