Abu Qir Metro Launch Date in Alexandria

The Abu Qir Metro Project in Alexandria is one of the major initiatives aimed at developing the city's mass transit system, with the goal of improving service quality and facilitating passenger movement. The first phase is approximately 47% complete in terms of construction works, and operations are expected to begin in March 2027. The route extends from Abu Qir Station to Misr Station, covering a length of 22 kilometers, and includes 20 stations distributed between elevated and surface-level sections. The project will use 21 trains, totaling 189 cars, which will be manufactured locally. The objective is to increase the maximum capacity from 2,850 to 60,000 passengers per hour, reduce journey time from 50 to 25 minutes, and raise operational speed from 25 to 100 km/h. The project consists of three phases with a total length of 80 kilometers, comprising both elevated and surface segments. It is considered one of the most important means supporting the shift toward more sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation, helping to reduce pollution and traffic congestion in the city.
