DP World has reached a milestone in the development of the Sokhna Logistics Park, with 65% of the first phase now complete.
The $80 million, state-of-the-art logistics hub, strategically located in the Suez Canal Economic Zone, is set to enhance Egypt’s logistics infrastructure and position the country as a key regional trade hub.
The 300 000-sqm facility is designed to provide cost-effective, integrated supply chain solutions, leveraging the operator’s extensive global network to drive efficiency, and strengthen connectivity between Egypt, the Middle East, Africa, and beyond.
Situated just ten kilometres from Sokhna Port, the park offers direct access to Greater Cairo’s key markets and major industrial zones. Its strategic location will enable businesses to reduce operational costs and improve efficiency with streamlined cargo movements.
The park is designed to support a range of industries, such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, retail, automotive and textiles. It will feature bonded and non-bonded warehouses, office space and open cargo and container yards, with logistics activities including warehousing, freight forwarding, customs clearing, and value-added services such as labelling, coding, sorting, packing and inspection.
DP World Senior Vice President, Economic Zones for the Middle East and North Africa, Ranjit Ray, said the team was focused on completing the first phase within the next few months.
“The facility will support a wide range of cargo across imports, exports, and transit, and will be integrated with DP World's operations at Sokhna Port, offering a full range of multi-modal supply chain services.
“Coupled with access to DP World’s global trade infrastructure network, this will provide cost-effective supply chain solutions for both local and international businesses.”
The new facility has drawn interest from both local and international markets, including businesses already established in Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai, who are looking to expand regionally.
The facility is scheduled for completion in June 2025.
