South Sinai Water Company Desalination is the first large Sea water desalination plant at Sinai using the Reverse Osmosis process. The plant has been built at Naama Bay with capacity of 3.000 m3/day extended to 17.000 m3/day. The plant is located almost 1km from the sea in a touristic area. The plant was started upon 15 June 1995.
