DP World has made significant progress in the construction of the Sokhna Logistics Park in Egypt. The first phase of the park is 65% complete. This major investment focuses on accelerating Egypt’s economic development and increasing trade efficiency in the region. This facility, which facilitates cargo movement in particular, will improve regional trade infrastructure and make logistics services more efficient.
Strategic Location and Logistic Advantages
Sokhna Logistics Park is located in Egypt’s Suez Canal Economic Zone, just 10 kilometers from Sokhna Port. This advantageous location allows the facility to provide quick access to the industrial areas of greater Cairo and its surroundings. Companies can reduce their logistics costs and increase their operational efficiency thanks to this strategic location. Built on an area of 300.000 square meters, the facility aims to provide companies with integrated and cost-effective supply chain solutions.
Project Completion Date and Strengthening Global Trade
DP World plans to complete the first phase of the Sokhna Logistics Park in June 2025. Once completed, the facility will strengthen trade links across Egypt, the Middle East and Africa.

Sokhna Logistics Park will provide uninterrupted freight transportation services by managing import, export and transit cargo types. Integration with the port will provide a supply chain solution that will serve global trade networks.
International Investment and Contribution to Local Markets
The project will have a major economic impact as an $80 million investment in the Suez Canal Economic Zone. This investment will strengthen Egypt’s infrastructure and improve its trade position in the region. DP World believes that the new investments and expanding business opportunities that will be attracted to the region will contribute to the growth of trade.
