Construction Starts on Egypt's 1st High-Speed Train Project

Egypt began implementing its first high-speed train project from Ain Sokhna on the Red Sea coast to Marsa Matrouh on the Mediterranean coast, with a length of 660 km, and a cost of up to US$9 billion, Al Youm Alsabea reported.

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.
