Alexandria Metro


The Alexandria Metro is a proposed rapid transit system for Egypt's second largest city, Alexandria. It will be Egypt's second metro system after the Cairo Metro.

Background

In March 2017, The National Authority for Tunnels was reported to have received a Japanese offer to implement a new metro line in Egypt’s Mediterranean city of Alexandria from Masr station to Borg El Arab.
In 2019, the Governor of Alexandria, Abdul Aziz Qansua, announced that the construction of the Alexandria Metro will begin in either late 2019 or first quarter of 2020, at a cost of $1.05–1.5 billion. It will be implemented over two years in three phases.

Network

The first phase will extend from the Abu Qir railway station to the Misr station, the second phase will start from Misr station to the Max station, and finally the third stage will extend from the Max station to Alkyl and then 21km to Matrouh road. The network is expected to serve 10,000 to 15,000 commuters an hour.
