  • Egypt began implementing its first high-speed train project
  • The Egyptian contracting companies are completing the preparation of the road

Work began on Egypt’s $9 billion first high-speed train project, connecting the Red Sea coast with the Mediterranean coast, across a length of 660 km, and at a cost of nearly $9 billion.

According to local media reports, the Egyptian contracting companies are completing the preparation of the road path on which the high-speed train will run, while the construction of the stations on the track are also starting.

Siemens will implement the project’s signaling and communication systems and supply the trains that will operate on it after its implementation.
