A part of the newly inaugurated Arab Gas Pipeline Project is seen near the Egyptian town of Taba, Sunday 27 July 2003, where Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Jordan's King Abdullah open the first phase of the pipeline that will eventually carry natural gas from Egypt to Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey and onto Europe. The first part of the pipeline which will provide Egyptian gas to Jordan was opened today with 16 km of the pipeline going under the Gulf of Aqaba to the port city of Aqaba, Jordan.

Lebanon, Syria and Egypt on Tuesday signed an agreement to transfer 650 million cubic metres of gas per year from Egypt to Lebanon via Syria at a ceremony at the Lebanese energy ministry in Beirut.

The deal would see gas shipped via pipeline to Lebanon’s northern Deir Ammar power plant, where it could add some 450 megawatts, equivalent to around four extra hours of power per day to the grid.
