Egypt sets deadline to open first phase of Cairo Metro Line 4 in 2027

The ambitious project, constructed by a consortium of leading Egyptian firms, follows international standards and is being built in two phases. The first phase spans 19 kilometers between Hadayek El Ashgar and Fustat, serving a total of 17 stations. This phase is further divided into two segments, with the initial stretch covering Hadayek El Ashgar to El Masah and the second segment extending from El Masah to Fustat.

The first 12 stations of Metro Line 4 to be inaugurated include major hubs such as:

1. Hadayek El Ashgar
2. Hadayek El Ahram
3. Al Nasr
4. Grand Egyptian Museum
5. El Remaya Square
6. Ahram
7. Mariouteya
8. El Arish
9. Al Matbaa
10. Talbiya
11. Madkour
12. El Masah

Cairo Metro Line 4 will serve high-density areas like El Haram, Faysal, Giza, Nasr City, and New Cairo, while connecting key locations such as the Grand Egyptian Museum and Al Azhar University. The new line is expected to transport 2 million passengers daily, making it a critical infrastructure project for the city’s growth.

Notably, Line 4 will also integrate with the 6th of October City monorail line, providing a seamless travel experience across greater Cairo. The project is being funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), further strengthening international collaboration in Egypt’s transportation sector.

As the city prepares for its most advanced metro line yet, the first phase of Metro Line 4 promises to reshape urban mobility, offering a greener, smarter, and more efficient way for Cairo’s residents to travel.
