The Red Sea Ports Authority manages several key ports along Egypt’s Red Sea coast that support cargo flows linking the country with regional markets in the Middle East and North Africa. These ports handle a mix of general cargo, trucks, passenger traffic and ferry services connecting Egypt with neighbouring countries.
