The Egyptian cabinet’s Media Center on Tuesday denied rumors that the monorail project would be restricted to serving residents of the New Administrative Capital. The center said claims of this matter reported by several websites and on social media are baseless. The monorail will serve all commuters from Cairo and Giza to New Cairo, the New Administrative Capital and Nasr City. It will link the Greater Cairo region with the New Administrative Capital, and contributes to facilitating the movement of employees. The US$4.5 billion monorail project is the first of its kind in Egypt and includes two lines: a 43 km-long rail set to extend from 6th of October City to Giza, and another rail connecting Cairo’s New Administrative Capital to Nasr City at a length of 54 km.
