DP World has announced a significant achievement in the development of the Sokhna Logistics Park in Egypt, with 65% of the first phase already completed. Spanning 300,000 sqm, the park is designed to provide cost-effective, integrated supply chain solutions, leveraging DP World’s extensive global network.
Located just 10km from Sokhna Port, the park offers direct access to Greater Cairo’s key markets and major industrial zones, ensuring efficient cargo movements and reduced operational costs. Scheduled for completion by June 2025, the facility aims to drive efficiency, reduce logistics expenses, and enhance connectivity between Egypt, the Middle East, Africa, and global markets.
Ranjit Ray, Senior Vice President of Economic Zones for the MENA region at DP World, expressed his satisfaction with the progress, stating: “We are pleased with the progress made so far and remain focused on completing the first phase within the next few months.”
The logistics hub, with an investment of $80 million, is strategically located within the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE) and is expected to elevate Egypt’s logistics infrastructure, positioning the country as a key regional trade hub. The park has already attracted interest from both local and international companies, including those from Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) in Dubai, looking to expand their regional footprint.
Built to the highest international standards, the park will support industries such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, retail, automotive, and textiles. It will feature bonded and non-bonded warehouses, office spaces, open cargo yards, and container storage areas. Logistics activities will include warehousing, freight forwarding, customs clearance, as well as value-added services like labelling, coding, sorting, packing, and inspection.
The integration with DP World’s operations at Sokhna Port will further strengthen the supply chain capabilities of the facility, offering a full range of services and cost-effective solutions to both local and international businesses.
