The second line for the fast electric train is of great importance as it shortens the time and distance to reach the governorates of Upper Egypt. The length of the line is 1100 km and it is being implemented from October to Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel. As a result, the flight time from October to Aswan takes 4 hours instead of 12 hours. The operation of the second line from October to Abu Simbel is expected to take place in 2025. This is in conjunction with the implementation of the first line of the express electric train, Ain Sukhna El Alamein Matrouh.
The fast electric train system is environment-friendly and represents a huge quantum leap in sustainable green transportation in Egypt. It will cover all parts of the Republic and will consist of 3 main lines with a total length of about 2000 km. About 1400 km will serve Upper Egypt and is carried out in parallel with the ongoing development of the existing railway network with a length of 10 thousand km. Major Egyptian companies are implementing earthen bridges, bridges, and industrial works for the track, stations, and fences. They are also manufacturing and supplying mobile units of all kinds, as well as designing, supplying, and installing workshop equipment.
