The Egyptian government has recently approved, through presidential decrees, the allocation of state-owned land in the Alexandria and North Sinai regions for strategic infrastructure projects, aligning with the country’s long-term development objectives. These initiatives aim to strengthen Egypt’s position as a global hub for trade and logistics.
Key Projects and Land Allocations
Water Security in Alexandria:
A 3.49-feddan (approximately 1.46-hectare) plot has been designated in the Ras El Tin district for the construction of a seawater desalination plant.
This project is a cornerstone of the national strategy to establish an extensive network of desalination facilities by 2050, ensuring the country’s water security and supporting sustainable urban growth.
Logistics Platform in North Sinai:
Several plots totaling around 1,482 feddans (approximately 622 hectares) have been granted to the General Authority for Land and Dry Ports. These plots are located in Rafah (603.13 feddans), Al-Hasana (352 feddans), and Baghdad (527 feddans).
The sites will be used to develop major logistics zones.
Strategic Vision and Connectivity
The establishment of these new logistics zones in Sinai forms part of a broader national strategy for the development and integration of the peninsula.
These infrastructures will be linked to the strategic Arish–Taba corridor, with the aim of facilitating trade, improving the flow of goods, and enhancing Egypt’s connectivity to both regional and international trade routes. Through these initiatives, the country seeks to establish itself as a key platform in global commerce.
