The "New Delta" is a massive land reclamation and agricultural mega-project in Egypt that aims to create vast, fertile farmland out of the desert. Launched in 2021, the project is located west of the Nile Delta in the Western Desert and is intended to boost national food security and increase agricultural exports

Project overview

  • Scale: The project seeks to reclaim and cultivate over 2.2 million feddans (about 924,000 hectares, or 3,500 square miles) of desert land.

  • Location: The new farmlands are situated in the Alexandria and Beheira governorates, west of the traditional Nile Delta, with much of the development along the highway connecting El Dabaa to Cairo.

  • Goal: The primary objective is to increase Egypt's arable land to produce more strategic crops, like wheat, and reduce the country's dependence on food imports.

  • Economic impact: The project is also designed to create up to 5 million new jobs and stimulate economic growth by developing agro-processing industrial zones

Key components and technologies

The New Delta project relies on advanced infrastructure and water management to make desert farming possible.

  • Artificial River: A key feature is the construction of a new artificial river, over 114 km long and reportedly costing $5.2 billion. This river transports water from the Nile to the new agricultural zones.

  • Wastewater treatment: The project includes the El Dabaa wastewater treatment plant, cited as the largest in the world. Completed in 2023, it processes 7.5 million cubic meters of agricultural drainage water per day for irrigation.

  • Modern irrigation: The new farms use smart and controlled irrigation systems to manage water efficiently. These systems, powered by renewable energy, are crucial for conserving water in the arid climate.

  • Agri-tech: Advanced agricultural technologies are being used for cultivation, harvesting, and to develop crop varieties that can resist extreme weather

Milestones and future outlook

  • Phased rollout: The project is being executed in several phases, with the first focusing on land reclamation and critical infrastructure like the artificial river.

  • Early progress: Satellite imagery captured in November 2024 shows the expansion of green landscapes in the project area, demonstrating initial progress.

  • 2025 harvest: In May 2025, officials marked the wheat harvest season and inaugurated the first phase of the "Future of Egypt" industrial city, a core part of the larger initiative.

  • Addressing critics: The project, while ambitious, has faced scrutiny over its cost and long-term water sustainability, particularly regarding its heavy reliance on treated wastewater and the timing relative to the country's debt levels
