ALEXANDRIA, SEPTEMBER 2025 — Egypt has extended an open invitation to American companies to invest in its transportation and logistics sectors. Key areas highlighted by Minister of Industry and Transport Kamel El-Wazir include port terminal management, shipping operations, dry ports, logistics zones, and the development of electric train lines that connect seaports, dry ports, and industrial areas.

At a press conference at the Tahya Misr multi-purpose terminal in Alexandria, El-Wazir emphasized that Egypt is undergoing comprehensive port development. He pointed out the Tahya Misr terminal as among the most modern in the Middle East and part of the larger plan to establish the Greater Port of Alexandria, integrating the ports of Alexandria, El Dekheila, and El Max. He said that American firms are welcome to partner in managing and operating port terminals, expanding the commercial fleet, and developing dry ports and logistics zones.

Other investment opportunities include cooperation in specialized industrial zones, and managing or operating one of the lines of the high-speed electric train network. The government also plans to establish 31 dry ports and logistics zones across the country to strengthen connectivity to existing ports and major road and rail corridors.

These moves are part of Egypt’s broader strategy to modernize its infrastructure, leverage its geographic location, and enhance its role as a regional trade and logistics hub. The government is preparing investment packages tailored for U.S. companies to facilitate these opportunities.
