High speed Train

Egypt is set to build the country’s first high-speed train line that will connect the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. The entire route will run for 1000 kilometers, and the first 460km-long section will link up El Alamein on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast and Ain Sokhna, two small but quickly developing towns. The train line will pass through 15 stations, including the as yet unnamed ‘new administrative capital,’ a huge construction project that was started in 2015 to move government buildings about 45km outside of Cairo.

The construction of the train line is set to be completed in two years and will be designed, installed and maintained by Siemens, the German industrial manufacturing company.
