Transport Minister Kamel al-Wazir inspected Egypt's high-speed electric rail network, which is nearing completion. The first line, stretching 660 km from Ain Sokhna to Matrouh, is set for trial operations without passengers in the coming months. The project, a 'new Suez Canal on rails,' aims to connect different parts of Egypt, support industry and tourism, and reduce travel costs. The network is planned to comprise four lines totaling 2,250 km, with a combined capacity of around 4 million daily passengers by 2030.
