Suez Canal on Rails – how can a railway transform the everyday lives of millions of Egyptians?

It’s been described as a project without peer, with the capability to revolutionize transportation and economic infrastructure in Egypt, creating thousands of jobs and connecting the country in a way that’s never been seen before – in short: the Suez Canal on Rails. So how is the vast scale of Mega Project Egypt becoming a reality? And what role do partnerships play in creating a sustainable, long-lasting railway legacy that will impact not just Egypt, but also create a blueprint for the wider Middle East and Africa?

In the sixth episode of “Moving beyond”, our host Sally Eaves is joined by Sara Elkady, Head of Customer Services Middle East and Africa at Siemens Mobility, and Osama Bishai, CEO of Orascom Construction, to assess the challenges faced in tackling such an unprecedented level of transformation.
