Egypt is building a $23 billion dollar high-speed rail network through the desert. The project, which will consist of three phases, will connect over 60 cities across the country. It is being built by a consortium of Egyptian companies, along with the German company Siemens. Once complete, it will drastically improve commute times, be environmentally friendly, promote tourism and establish a fast and reliable rail network across the country. With the first line planned to open in 2027, the project will soon revolutionize Egypt’s transport network. After that, other lines will potentially be added and eventually, the network could be integrated into a large African high-speed rail network.
