DP World has recently marked a major milestone in Egypt’s infrastructure development with the commissioning of the Sokhna Logistics Park. This large-scale project, representing an investment of US$85 million, is the result of a strategic partnership with British International Investment (BII).
Located within the strategic Suez Canal Economic Zone, this new logistics platform plays a key role in Egypt’s strategy to modernize its trade infrastructure and reinforce its position as a regional and global commercial hub.
A Flagship Investment in Two Phases
The official inauguration of the park took place in the presence of Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman and CEO of DP World Group.
Covering nearly 300,000 square meters, the site has been designed to be developed in two stages.
The first phase is already fully operational, while completion of the second phase is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026, when the park’s capacity will be expanded. Ultimately, this initiative is expected to have a significant socio-economic impact, generating over 300 direct jobs.
Strategic and Fiscal Advantages
The park benefits from a prime geographical location, adjacent to the Port of Sokhna, just 30 minutes from Suez and 45 minutes from Egypt’s New Administrative Capital.
Its integration within the Special Economic Zone also provides highly favorable customs and tax conditions.
DP World offers a comprehensive range of integrated logistics services, including bonded and non-bonded warehouses, on-site inspection facilities, and a dedicated digital customer platform.
Already, nearly 90 companies have expressed interest in establishing operations within the park, and several occupancy contracts have been finalized.
Supporting Industrial Diversity
This new infrastructure is designed to support a wide array of economic sectors, ranging from raw materials and agri-food products to construction materials, electronics, textiles, automotive components, and electric vehicles.
Through this opening, DP World reaffirms its commitment to building a sustainable and integrated logistics ecosystem, capable of delivering end-to-end solutions—from production to final delivery.
The company aims to enhance trade flows, boost exports, and strengthen Egypt’s competitiveness on the international stage.
Parallel Expansion of the Cold Chain
Alongside this major development, DP World has also announced a US$29 million investment to build a new temperature-controlled storage facility in 6th of October City.
This 16,000-square-meter facility is designed to reinforce Egypt’s cold chain network, meeting the growing demand for specialized refrigerated storage.
Since 2008, the group has invested over US$1.3 billion in modernizing the Port of Sokhna and surrounding logistics services—solidifying Egypt’s position as a central node in global supply chains.
