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.

There are dozens of new projects estimated at 30 trillion Egyptian pounds, equivalent to approximately 10 trillion dollars, in the market value of the Egyptian pound and not in monetary value, because all these projects are implemented with Egyptian local components upon completion of all stages, and five million Egyptians work directly in them and make a vogue for dozens of industries. Other projects in which tens of millions of Egyptians work, all without relying on the state budget. On the contrary, the state actually collects hundreds of billions of pounds from them in the form of taxes on the gains, and these are not the gains, which are estimated at trillions. Different and the state presents its assets, which are often desert lands, and the investor invests the money It is within the state’s strategic plan only, and the state gets the revenues that it invests in other projects outside the state budget. As you know, Egypt currently has about 10,000 giant, large, medium, and small projects, some of which are funded from the budget, and most of them and the largest are from outside the budget.

I'm not as sanguine as many of you. For such a massive project the price tag of $23 billion seems very low, even for a country where most things are inexpensive. I suspect the final price will be far higher than $23 billion. My home state of California has been working on a high-speed rail network, and the cost so far is exorbitantly higher than originally estimated, and the project may have to be abandoned. (Original estimates for government-subsidized projects almost always are unrealistic.) My second concern is the example of the Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza. That project began two decades ago and is still not completed. The work has been going slowly, largely because of administrative incompetence. For the last five years the public has been told that the museum would open "next year," and still it isn't open. The GEM project doesn't suggest that the high-speed rail project will be delivered on time or on budget--or anywhere close.

Thailand's prices are about right for HSR, even cheap considering the population density on the route. Egypt's project is very... untransparent though, not to say murky. It went into construction very fast and the numbers don't make sense. If the speeds mentioned in the vid are the real ones, it's not even HSR, so what else is not what it seems? But I guess if you have no land rights problem and one of the companies doing most of the heavy work is your own you can make it work? Time will tell.

It looks like the Asian landmass and the African continent would be joined via Egypt by rail system. Given the current progress of railway expansion across so many nations, it is very possible that the two continents can be "connected" with HSR within the time available to air transport to-day. If a direct rail link is connected Cairo to Lagos, the distance by shipping would reduce by more than half as against shipping; with much higher speed available to the rail system, the overall outcome to trade could be very interesting.

Yes, the train system in Egypt is strange, but now there is no disturbance or noise or these things in the trains, at least the VIP. It is a really comfortable experience for me, but the biggest drawback is that the trains always come late, especially on the Aswan Cairo line, and also the trains are too cold. Because of the air conditioning, especially in the summer, because they reduce the temperature a lot

So Egypt can build a high speed rail network providing service to potentially more than 90 million people for $23 billion, and it’s actually getting built pretty quickly. Meanwhile, here in California, supposed to be the technology center of the world, we have a high speed rail project from San Francisco to Los Angeles, providing service to potentially maybe 30 million people, and it would cost over $100 billion and it has barely even gotten started after years of BS.

They take billions of dollars worth of loans to build projects that are not that necessary, when those loans could have otherwise been used to build more productive and profitable businesses. Increase exports, build factories or businesses, improve agriculture and achieve self-sufficiency, subsidize costs of essential foods that a lot of people can't even afford anymore thanks to inflation. Who do you think pay for those loans? The poor and the middle class do. It is not as beneficial as you make it seem.

@anglo-deutsche-egyptian7831 Жыл бұрын

That is an understandable argument but you know that a good infrastructure system is the backbone for the projects you just mentioned, Factories and busnesses require superb transportation to link together specially since you cant build factories in Cairo and you need to put them a bit further so a railway system is needed, after that agricultural products also need good and cheap infrastructure in order to be made available without counting for truck transportation fees that increase the price of the goods and and finally when you have a better agricultural base and manufacturing base with the help of the railways you will boast exports. So all these goals are being achieved using this project in a more sustainable way that will work and continue working in the future, however it will infact take alot of time

Investments in infrastructure are key for countries to develop. Post WW2 Western Europe went from ruins to industrialization and boom thanks to motorways and railways. Without decent and fast transportation you may create factories and grow crops, but how do you transport them to consumers? Then again, this new HS not so HS new railway could have been avoided. It could have been enough just doubling, electrifying, upgrading signalling and whatever the existing network needs to be faster and have more capacity. This I criticize, not infrastructure investments altogether
