Egypt implements major development projects in Sinai and Suez Canal cities

The Egyptian Cabinet's media center has highlighted extensive developmental transformations in the Sinai Peninsula and Suez Canal cities since 2014. These large-scale national projects aim to integrate the region into the country's comprehensive development map through massive public investments in infrastructure, urban planning, and economic services.

Key transportation and logistics achievements include the upgrading of 5,000 km of roads and bridges, the construction of five tunnels under the Suez Canal, and seven floating bridges. Ongoing rail projects include a 660 km high-speed electric train line from Ain Sokhna to Marsa Matrouh and a 500 km railway line connecting El Fardan to Taba. Additionally, efforts include the development of seven airports, the construction of Bardawil International Airport, and the expansion of maritime and land ports.

Urban and utility developments feature the creation of seven new cities designed to accommodate over 5 million residents, alongside the construction of approximately 58,000 diverse housing units. The government is also implementing residential clusters for Bedouin communities and has completed 163 projects related to water and sanitation networks and treatment plants to improve the quality of life in the region.
