Egypt’s Ministry of Transport is preparing to begin a trial run (without passengers) for a section of Line 1 of the “Sokhna–Alamein–Matrouh” high-speed electric train network. 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. Work on the network includes the installation of sleepers, laying of ballast and rails, erecting catenary masts, and the implementation of electromechanical systems.
