Australia tried this years ago. It’s been an expensive boondoggle. Technology has been improving, and the Israelis have been seeing good success with desalinization. Of course, just because the Israelis are able to figure out how to make it work for them, doesn't mean the Egyptians will.
My big question is, wouldn't it be easier to grab already-fresh water from the Nile?

"My big question is, wouldn't it be easier to grab already-fresh water from the Nile? " The Nile is already pretty much "tapped out". Much more and there won't "be" a Nile.
More important to me is 1)what purification means, and 2)how do they plan to supply the power necessary. Desalination is a notoriously energy-hungry process.

I think the Nile has the world famous dam that beginning with an “A”.
