The plan to build canals connecting to the Qattara Depression in Egypt sounds like a much better option. As long as you do it without the whole "several hundred nuclear bombs used for excavation" thing the Germans wanted to do.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qattara_Depression_Project

quote:

The proposals call for a large canal or tunnel being excavated of about 55 to 80 kilometres (34 to 50 mi) depending on the route chosen to the Mediterranean Sea to bring seawater into the area.[1] Or otherwise a 320 kilometre (200 mile) pipeline north-east to the freshwater Nile River at Rosetta.[2][3] For comparison, the nearby Suez Canal is currently 193 kilometres in length.[4] By balancing the inflow and evaporation the lake level can be held constant. Several proposed lake levels are -70, -60, -50 and -20 m.
