Organized in such a way, the show is also expected to be able to respond to large-scale public transportation projects located at the heart of the country’s economic growth strategies.

New Investment Friendly Setting

This first line connecting Cairo and Alexandria provided 209 km of transportation when it was built. Looking at the process up to today, it is seen that there is not enough investment in railway transportation in Egypt compared to road transport until today.
