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.

This and the current Ohio railway disaster really show the importance of a modern railway infrastructure
gowrl egypt's better than ohio
And the deadly accident in Greece... let's hope the authorities finally learn and fix the obvious
There has also been years of infrastructure collapse or decay, from roads, bridges to levees and dams. Lot of things need an overhaul.

The sheer amount of mega-projects happening in Egypt is quite staggering, and probably quite a burden to the country's budget. I hope that they won't just be abandoned half-way through. Great video!
There. Is no burden and yesterday there was an army of construction gears went to Sinai to build Sinai

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.
These projects have put immense strain on the Egyptian economy due to ridiculous amount of loan payments that have to be made at this point abandonment is not an option
@@mohamedmoataz2154 did. You pay anything from your father pocket?
You are right about the burden part
The administration here was actually honest about this part as a do or die situation
That after decades of corruption and neglect many parts in this nation is on the verge of collapse and the only solution is to focus on rebuilding infra structure and making and relocating major knots of population and that will put the atandards of living so low for people
Some agree and some now can't accept that we keep building roads and ports and railways while food have reaching record levels
I work on this project!! and you have explained it in 10 mins better than most of the project managers that actually work on it Lol. One piece of information is that the speed of construction and implementation is immense and they are targeting a segment of the first phase to be operational by 2025 not even 2027
Congratulations on your great career.

I think that being managed by Deutsche Bahn for 15 years is a great plus. I am sure that they will factor in the differences in culture and they will hire local employees, who will become the managers of the rail system after the 15 years. This sounds really interesting. Looking froward to seeing more about this projec and good luck to the Egyptians!
😂😂😂 How is that a plus. The trains will certainly be late or cancelled
In fact, the agreement with the Egyptian state is that about 95% of the workers in the project are Egyptians, like the rest of the Chinese or Russian private projects that work or will work in Egypt, or projects similar to the video deal, such as the new ports, whose lengths will reach in the next three years to seventy new kilometers, and this The ports will be run by Chinese and French companies and others with 95% Egyptian employment for a period of 15 years, in addition to that Germany will establish schools to qualify Egyptians not only to drive the new trains in the old network or the new Chinese and German networks, the subject of the video, but the German company will use them to drive the trains inside Minya Itself and the European Union will use them to drive the locomotives in the lines run by the German company in America other thanEgypt is currently negotiating with Canada to construct a railway similar to the one we are currently executing, but inside Canada with Egyptian companies.

I want to visit Egypt so badly. It would be cool to be able to go from Alexandria to Cairo to Luxor with high speed rail and cut down travel time
Great video as always!!! We need a video on new metro and monorail’s infrastructure in Egypt ❤
Really loving the crisp and well-polished animations! Always looking out for the next futurology video.
You're spot on, very crisp and precise information. it would be great if you create a video about the modes of transportation in Egypt. there is a lot of work being done to upgrade the ports, airports, metro, and bus routes and it all deserves some coverage.
"People think money should be directed instead towards congestion"
Please let me know how you do that without investing in public transport
Only Americans have such stupid logic
Gurl sit down. People are advocating for more metro, tram, BRT, ANYTHING to help INSIDE the nightmare that is Cairo traffic. Cairo is a metro area of more than 20 million people, meanwhile the two extremities of the FIRST line are small resort towns of 50 000 and 150 000. Anything besides Cairo- Alexandria makes no sense as a priority, but it must be nice being Egypt and having all that money to spend. Priorities differ I guess.
I love to see animation and graphics improving with every new video. Great job!
For 2000km, 23B USD is super cheap actually. In India, the Mumbai-Ahmedabad HSR (which will run Shinkansens at 320kph) costs 14B USD for just 500km. I think the choice of 230kph was quite strategic as it decreased costs.
Excellent point. Higher fast speed trains make so much more sense economically. HSR seems at times an ego exercise in vanity with questional benefits in gain of speed.
Nope different environment in Egypt requires more stops and thus less speed
@@qjtvaddict Sounds like you are saying that having more frequent station stops negates the benefit of and need for HSR vs. fast speed trains with top speeds less than 250 kpm. I agree.
Awesome project, this is exactly what Egypt and the world in general needs! Reliable, environmently friendly and modern rail networks.
What an effort, well done, nice video! By the way, the Egyptian government didn’t neglect the old railways or carriages, they recently updated all those as well in addition to the stations etc. which I think is a very good move of them. I hope the US government will also invest heavily in (rail) infrastructure soon; not only promises, but real progression.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) provides $66 billion in railroad grants. The largest ever especially for Amtrak's portion. Let's see what happens when the money is put to work.
I hope not, unless you want the states to get economically screwed like us! 08:02 .... We're doomed 😶 priorities are ignored here
@@OmarMahmoudov Screwed how? Doomed where? What ignored?
This is a great project & hopefully stage 1 is constructed expeditiously. Let's see if stages 2 & 3 get built. One note, 230km/h is NOT HSR, it's fast rail. HSR is generally defined as services which are 250km/h and above. In this context 230km/h is fine.

Thank you
I drive by this everyday. Didn't know it'd take until 2027 till it's operational tho, and my area is in the second phase lol so I'm guessing it'll take longer.
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.
The. Grand. Egyptian museum has been completed dummy
@@user-or1rm1ol3q The museum still is not open to the general public.
@@karlkeating2803 the grand hall is open. To the general public
They have already done the contracts for all the lines and it is 23B dollars
2000 km with a cost of only $23bn ($11.5 mil/km) is worth it and not much expensive. While in Thailand, we are now constructing the 1st phase around 500km (2 routes) with a cost of $11.5 bn ($38 mil/km)
Good info.. Probably because Thailand has trees and such to be cut down for the rail.
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.
I think Morocco high speed train is much more cheaper and they are using TGV French train system which is better than German's Siemens Velaro.
Morocco's line is only 323 km
Egypt had 5 Big Projects right now
4 City projects and 1 Rail Projects
Well they added extensions to the project along the Mediterranean sea
Despite the economic challenges most people actually support it provided that the government provide reasonable ticket prices
The choice between infrastructure and poverty, will always favor infrastructure to fight poverty.
9:19 DB delays, now international
exactly what I was thinking....except they can't blame the infrastructure this time.
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.
Is always good time to construct Trans-Saharan Mediterranean railway cargo and passengers trains that goes from Egypt through Senegal on Africa’s West end Atlantic ocean, wish Libya got to figure out their peace in their country, and people will happy and prosper ever after❤ 🇮🇩🇵🇰🇹🇷🇨🇳🇪🇬🇱🇾🇹🇳🇩🇿🇲🇷🇲🇦🇸🇳❤

The ticket cost will be 10x the current rail cost. Don’t think majority can afford that
So... Deutsche Bahn running the railroad for 15 years is super interesting.
Quite a strategic coup to keep china out of Egypt (at least for rail), but interesting that they allowed Germany to control their transport network cor so long.
Honestly, good for the egys, European transportation is vastly superior to that of china's, and by having the company operating for 15 years, they eliminate any cultural stigma or barrier of work mindsets, as well as setting the foundation for training the first egyptian generation of managers and workers, engineers, etc. From there, they can manage their own and train up their own growing youth to better quality workers for more self sufficiency
@@thatguy-eg8nz "European transportation is vastly superior to that of china's"
Lmao that must be why the germans can't even get their trains to arrive on time.
A little disappointing that they aim for just 230 km/h. In my opinion if you're going to build a HSR alignment from scratch, you should go the extra mile and aim for 300 km/h, especially considering the length of the line.

high speed rail never broke even anywhere it has been implemented including switzerland, china and japan. it will be a massive burden on the egyptian government forever. i think egypt will be better served if those 3 line were made exclusively for freight rail instead. freight rail never fails in making profit. ask warren buffet or bhp australia. also the only country egypt can connect to by rail is israel because they both use the same rail track gauge. gaza too but that has been long defunct.

Well, 23 billion dollars in 10-20 years is not that much. And the project, once completed, will alleviate and reduce many of the other issues related with poverty.
That is what the CAHSR (I support 199%) will spend to build a 119 mile/ 192 kilometer "test track" in 20 years before building the final 52 miles/84 kilometers needed to complete the 171mile/275 kilometer initial operating segment 25 years after the proposition was passed.

I remember taking the train from Cairo to Alexandria in 2008-09, in first class, and it was sh*t! Even as a child, I was worried about the noises and the shakings. Until then, my only train experience was in France and the Benelux, and the Egyptian train was different! My dad wanted to take the train to Aswan but after that, my mom insisted we fly. I'm glad Egypt is getting better and safer trains. Hopefully, some of the annoying habits of Deutsche Bahn don't get exported.
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

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.
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

The main concern is corrupt authoritarian regime of Egipt.

Another dystopian project hailed for clicks, just like the desert monorail and the humongous new capital
Egypt is 170 BN $ in debt, it needs proper reclamation, agricultural and industrial projects to provide jobs for its population and improve its exports volume fixing the economic strains all these loans are adding, so yea lets toss 23 BN $ on top of that for new "rails n trains", whatever the general likes
We also have agriculture and industrial projects 🥱😅😜
@@user-or1rm1ol3q explain the rising debt and the excessive inflation of the EGP, we certainly failed to improve our agricultural and industrial sectors.
@@JabbarTV1 the debt is 34%. Of the GDP which is nothing

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
@@lorenzopassero8509 shouldn't you create facotires and grow crops on the existing infrastructure first to fund all that? loans loans loans debt rose from 35 bn $ to 170 bn $, roads and trains won't pay for that.
post WW2 western europe still had advanced tech, democracy and colonies to leech off, there is no comparison with poor Egypt stifling under militaristic regimes since 1952.

The most important con that you forgot to mention is how high speed rails NEVER turn a profit (not even in china, or Japan).
Egypt will infact, NOT be able to afford this~
That is true for whoever that's going to manage the rail system, but for the people and the whole economy itself will be positive. This project will generate opportunities along the lines while being built and after completion.
@@lokmanhussain3805 We need to factor in the 60% of the population who are below the income poverty line. Not to mention inflation and currency devaluation making it even harder to get basic necessities. Moreover, ticket prices will be much higher than the older railway system. Making the general population uninterested in a transport mechanism that has been deemed unsuccessful just useless that is the mono-rail.
@@mohanadmoataz6873 there will be spill-over effects, which will create direct and indirect jobs, moreover, there will be more investment due to places will become more accessible, this will in turn will bring job opportunities to the people.

A statement made without a reason. Do not worry about politely replying. Some writers seldom do. From your name alone I can pretty much presume why. lol.
@@davidjackson7281 Eh Germans trains aren't as good as Chinese trains, not only that but Germans are known for their late trains, management will definitely be inferior.

Is no one gonna talk about how a company can be called Siemens ?
Why? This company exists for 176 years now and its named after the last name of the founder "Werner Siemens".
@@apollo7807 because that’s sexual abuse
@@Baller474 I dont know where you got this from but this is no way older then the company. I could also call some sort of abuse now "Microsoft" and its still not right if you come in 150 years and say how can a company name itself Microsoft lol...
@@apollo7807 semen is first coming from old French “esperme” which sperm and seed are also derived from
@@Baller474 And how is this related to "Siemens"? This name comes from the name "Simon" and has literally nothing to do with that?

Egypt prefers to deal with Germany because it is another Islamic country.
We are dealing with India now. Is India islamic country 🤔

Personally I rather we deal with anyone other than China

For a country that goes to bankruptcy and under a stupid dictatorship with high corrupted government, it is another disastrous project, especially it is known that Siemens projects in Egypt are highly cost and low beneficent due to corrupted money being paid to Sisi himself (the country still suffer from electricity project done by Siemens overpriced cost).
Egypt has made the biggest mistake in awarding the contract to German company instead of the Chinese. The future lies with China not with Europe or US. Egypt will come to regret it.
