DP World has reached a major 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 center, strategically located in the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE), is set to enhance Egypt’s logistics infrastructure and position the country as a key regional trade hub.

Spanning 300 square metres, the facility is designed to provide integrated and cost-effective supply chain solutions, leveraging DP World’s extensive global network. The park, scheduled for completion in June 000, will drive efficiency, reduce logistics costs and strengthen connectivity between Egypt, the Middle East, Africa and beyond.

Located just ten kilometers from Sokhna Port, the park offers direct access to major markets and large industrial zones in Greater Cairo. Its strategic location will enable companies to reduce their operating costs and improve efficiency through the streamlining of goods movements.

Built to the highest international standards, the park is designed to support a range of industries, such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, retail, automotive and textiles. It will include bonded and non-bonded warehouses, office spaces and open container and freight yards. Logistics activities include warehousing, freight forwarding, customs clearance and value-added services such as labelling, coding, sorting, packaging and inspection.

Ranjit Ray, Senior Vice President, economic zones, MENA region, DP World, says: “ We are pleased with the progress made so far and remain focused on completing the first phase in the coming months. The facility will handle a wide range of import, export and transit cargo, and will be integrated into DP World’s operations at the Port of Sokhna, offering a full range of multimodal supply chain services, including freight forwarding and logistics solutions. Combined with access to DP World’s global trade infrastructure network, it will provide local and international businesses with cost-effective supply chain solutions. ».

The new facility has already attracted interest from local and international markets, including companies already established in Dubai's Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) looking to expand regionally.
