According to the ministry, substantial progress has already been made across multiple route sections handed over to the international consortium comprising Siemens, Orascom, and Arab Contractors, while field work continues at full pace to ensure the system’s readiness. Line 1 of Egypt’s high-speed rail network will cost about USD 4.45 billion (EGP231 billion) Construction began in 2021, with trial runs now underway and opening targeted for late 2026.
