Egypt transportation infrastructure development

Overview

Egypt is advancing several major transportation projects. In late September 2026, the Egyptian Metro Management and Operation Company, working with Alstom, initiated recruitment for technical and operational roles for the West Nile Monorail project to prepare for its upcoming operation.

By late October 2026, railway services resumed in the Sinai Peninsula with the commencement of operations on the El Qantara East - Bir al-Abd line. This initiative aims to connect Sinai to the Nile Valley to encourage trade and investment. Concurrently, the National Authority for Tunnels announced that the first phase of the Haram Metro project, serving the Giza Governorate, is expected to open by the end of 2027.
