Egypt readies first high-speed rail
The Egyptian Ministry of Transport is preparing to commence a pilot, passenger-free operation of a section of the high-speed electric train network, as a prelude to launching the country's largest green and smart mass transit project. The first line, extending from Sokhna to Mersa Matruh, aims to strengthen connections between ports, industrial areas, and new cities, while supporting the shift towards green transportation. The project includes four lines with a total length of up to 2,250 km and 60 stations, including 21 stations on the first line spanning 660 km. It features 15 high-speed trains, 34 regional trains, and 14 freight locomotives, with full operation scheduled for 2026. This project is a key hub for development and logistics in Egypt, equipped with a control center that manages the network efficiently. Its implementation involves an international coalition comprising global and local companies.
