The government in Amman has said it is planning to extract more than 10 billion cubic feet a year from the Red Sea 110 miles to the south, feed most of it into a desalination plant to create drinking water, and send the salty waste-water left over to the Dead Sea by tunnel.
Fascinating idea, since Jordan is landlocked.

Jordan is not landlocked. They have access to the Gulf of Aqaba/Eilat and have the port city of Aqaba.
