The recently inaugurated monorail in Cairo represents a significant step in the city's urban transformation. This fully automated public transport network is designed to ease congestion in the eastern outskirts.

Developed by Alstom in collaboration with local companies, the monorail links areas that have long struggled with traffic to the new administrative capital, a project that has garnered support from President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.

As part of a broader initiative to modernize transportation in Egypt, this monorail could play a crucial role in shaping the future of urban mobility in the megacity.
