OHK Consultants was retained by a private investment consortium to conduct due diligence on the Saudi Arabia-Egypt Causeway, a proposed, US$4 billion bridge linking the two countries through Tiran Island in the Gulf of Aqaba. We evaluated the bridge – which would be the longest single-span bridge in the world – as a potential nexus between Asia and Africa, and shared likely investor views of the project with government officials on both sides.

Our team conducted visits to Sheikh Humaid in Saudi Arabia and Tiran Island (shown in the photo above) to evaluate the potential for the project to alter regional development and trigger “ripple effect” land-based investment opportunities. OHK’s Ahmed Hassan presented findings and recommendations in a roundtable with the investor group in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.
