 El Fayrouz tunnels at Ismailia governorate

It is Planning to Implement (3) tunnels

(2 cars +1 Railway)

Chinese-based company estimated the initial costs of the 15.5 Km Port said Cars Tunnels

project at $ 800 million dollars. 24 Km Port said Railway Tuuel

Ismailia government proposed to implement the tunnels at Km 65 while

Suez Canal Authority proposed the location at Km 71.80 while National
Authority for Tunnels proposed the location at Km 80 and for the
following reasons: -

 Mediate the distance between Port Said tunnels and Ahmed Suez Canal Univ Proposal
65 Km
Hamdy tunnel and ease of connectivity with the rest regions of the
republic and the lack of access to the city of Ismailia. Suez Canal Authority Proposal
71.8 Km

NAT Proposal
 the Tightness of Ahmed Hamdy tunnel and its inability to 80 Km
withstand heavy traffic to South Sinai and the Red Sea coast.

 there are more than crossing point to Sinai in the northern

part of Ismailia city , so it better for tunnels to be in the
southern part of the city.

Ahmed Hamdy Tunnel

The Chinese government is currently through one of its company to prepare 140 Km
the initial feasibility study and determined based upon the adoption a grant
of $ 2.5 million for the completion of detailed studies and tender documents
by the end of August.

NAT prepared a preliminary study for the project of the

1.8 Km
Extension of Line 2 of Greater Cairo Metro (El Mounib-
Shubra Al Khiema) to Qalyoub.

The Route was chosen to be, as much as possible, Qalyub

within the Right of Way of the Egyptian National
Railways (ENR) (Cairo – Alexandria Line) so as to
minimize the lands expropriation in the region.

8.8 Km
This extension will be from Shubra Al Khiema station
at the east parallel to the existing railway lines till the
city of Qalyoub, The length of this Part is about 7 km. Mit Nama

The extension will continue with an additional distance

of about 1.8 km to reach the intermodal station, which
means that the total length of this extension will be
about 8.8 km.

The studies for this line will cost about 25 Million EGP, Shubra El
whereas the construction cost will be around kheima
3 Billion EGP.
