    EGYPT has committed more than 1,000 square kilometres of land in the southern Sinai Peninsula to a planned mega-city and business zone unveiled by Saudi Arabia last October, a Saudi official said on Monday.

    The territory along the Red Sea is part of a joint fund worth more than US$10 billion and announced by the two countries late on Sunday during a visit to Cairo by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
