Egypt, located at the crossroads of Africa, Asia, and Europe, is a global logistics hub thanks to its strategic control of the Suez Canal, a vital maritime route connecting the Mediterranean and Red Seas. The canal facilitates significant global trade, while Egypt’s ports, such as Alexandria and Port Said, enhance its role in shipping and transshipment. Extensive road, rail, and air networks connect Egypt to neighboring countries and regions. As a hub for energy exports, textiles, and agriculture, Egypt’s logistics infrastructure plays a critical role in regional and international trade. Ongoing investments in free trade zones strengthen its economic position.
