Egypt advances railway and port links
The article addresses Egypt's national strategy to transform the country into a regional hub for transportation and logistics through the implementation of major projects. These include the development of a 260 km railway line (Samlout / Salloum) extending to Libya, and connecting Egypt with Sudan via a route linking Abu Simbel to Wadi Halfa and reaching Abu Hamed. The aim is to boost trade and mobility for people within the Arab and African regions. It also highlights the high-speed electric train project that will connect Red Sea coastal cities with the Delta region, extending to East Oweinat and Toshka. This project seeks to revitalize tourism by directly linking diverse tourist destinations, enabling visitors to travel easily between scuba diving in Hurghada, the pyramids, Luxor, Aswan, and religious tourism. Additionally, the project forms a global logistics hub connecting the Red Sea with the Mediterranean, with enhanced operational capabilities for a network spanning up to 2,250 km, transporting 2 million passengers annually and 13 million tons of goods. This will significantly contribute to supporting the national economy, expanding inhabited areas, and aligning the routes of the first and second lines with the "Development Corridor" plan proposed by the Egyptian scientist Dr. Farouk El-Baz.
