The Egyptian government has agreed to terms and conditions for the
country's first high-speed train project, to be formally announced to
international and domestic engineering companies within days, state-run
daily Al-Ahram reported Monday.
The total cost of the project has yet to be set.
Transportation Minister Mohamed Rashad El-Mateeny said the first phase
of the planned train project would link Alexandria with 6 October City
on the outskirts of Cairo.
Al-Meteeny added that the project would help Egypt's struggling tourist
industry and help meet the rapid rise of passenger numbers, especially
those traveling to and from Upper Egypt.
