QATTARA DEPRESSION, EGYPT — South Korea and Egypt are teaming up to build an agricultural city in the north African nation's Qattara Depression sinkhole.
The six-month-long, $10 billion dollar project will see 50,000 greenhouses constructed by Egyptian workers and managed by Korean experts. Several solar and desalination plants are expected to be built at the site.
The project will also see an attempt to produce food and the sugar alternative stevia, Arab Finance reported.
