Egypt and Jordan have completed the Coral Bridge subsea cable project, creating the first direct digital link between the two nations in over a quarter of a century.

The milestone was achieved through a partnership between Telecom Egypt and NaiTel, the telecom arm of Aqaba Digital Hub (ADH).

The 15-kilometre cable stretches across the Gulf of Aqaba, starting from Telecom Egypt’s new landing point in Taba and landing at ADH’s Tier III carrier-neutral facility in Aqaba.

The system, which went live in mid-August, is designed to transform regional connectivity and support the surging demand for data, cloud services, and artificial intelligence applications.

Coral Bridge cable strengthens regional connectivity

Equipped with 48 fibre pairs, Coral Bridge can transport over 1 Petabit of traffic. Its design delivers massive capacity and ensures lower latency thanks to its short route across the Gulf.

This allows businesses, cloud providers, and enterprises to cut costs while enjoying faster network performance.

On the Egyptian side, Coral Bridge becomes the first subsea system to land at Telecom Egypt’s Taba station—part of a growing international digital infrastructure in the Sinai Peninsula.

From there, data is seamlessly channelled through Egypt’s extensive terrestrial routes to the Mediterranean, enabling smooth onward connectivity to Asia, Africa, and Europe.

In Jordan, the cable’s landing at ADH’s advanced data centre boosts the country’s role as a regional hub.

The facility is already home to enterprises and hyperscalers that rely on redundancy and recovery strategies, now reinforced by this new direct link to Egypt.

Egypt, Jordan leaders highlight strategic value

Mohamed Nasr, Telecom Egypt’s Managing Director and CEO, described the project as a pivotal step in strengthening regional connectivity.


“The strategic proximity between Taba and Aqaba creates a vital opportunity to establish a robust corridor for data connectivity across the Middle East and Europe,” he said.

“This critical infrastructure is key to meeting the region’s growing data demands, supporting data centre expansion, and enhancing the resilience of subsea cable networks.”

Eyad Abu Khorma, Founder and CEO of Aqaba Digital Hub, echoed the sentiment, stressing Coral Bridge’s broader impact.

“Coral Bridge is more than just a cable—it’s a strategic asset for the entire region,” he noted. “By enabling a direct digital bridge between Aqaba and Sinai, we are strengthening resilience and opening new opportunities for high-performance infrastructure and sovereign connectivity.”

Boosting regional digital transformation

The completion of Coral Bridge comes at a crucial time, with MENA’s demand for digital infrastructure soaring.

Cloud adoption, artificial intelligence, and data-intensive applications are reshaping economies, requiring robust and secure pathways for international data flows.

By bridging Egypt and Jordan directly, Coral Bridge eliminates reliance on longer, less efficient routes, while reinforcing the resilience of existing subsea networks.

It also positions both nations as key digital gateways, offering improved connectivity options to enterprises and cloud providers targeting markets across three continents.

As the first subsea cable between Egypt and Jordan in over 25 years, Coral Bridge represents renewed cooperation and a shared vision for digital transformation in the region.
