Egypt's public transport infrastructure is set for further development following a new EGP 3 billion financing agreement between Emirates NBD Egypt and the National Authority for Tunnels (NAT). The funding will support ongoing and future projects aimed at expanding and modernising Egypt's metro and monorail networks.
The agreement was signed by Tamer Ragheb, Head of Corporate and Institutional Banking at Emirates NBD Egypt, and Tarek Hamed Goueili, Chairman of NAT. This initiative aligns with Egypt's broader push to enhance sustainable urban mobility, particularly through metro expansions and high-speed monorail projects that connect Greater Cairo to New Administrative Capital and 6th of October City.
Emirates NBD Egypt stated that the investment reflects its commitment to financing strategic sectors that drive economic growth, with public transportation playing a key role in easing congestion, reducing emissions, and improving daily commutes for millions.
Egypt's public transport sector has seen major developments in recent years, with projects such as the Cairo Metro's Line 4 extension and the monorail system being among the most significant.

Timeless Wonder: Giza Pyramids buzz during Eid vacation
Giza Pyramids - file CAIRO – June 6, 2025: The Giza Pyramids, one of the most iconic archaeological sites in the world, continue to captivate both Egyptians and international visitors, especially during holidays and festive seasons like Eid al-Adha. As one of Egypt's most treasured landmarks, the pyramids represent an enduring symbol of ancient civilization and architectural brilliance. Located on the Giza Plateau, the site includes the monumental pyramids of the Fourth Dynasty kings: Khufu, his son Khafre, and his grandson Menkaure, along with the majestic Great Sphinx. Each king's pyramid was part of a grand complex that also featured smaller pyramids for queens, a "religious" subsidiary pyramid, and a valley temple linked by a ceremonial causeway adorned with scenes of daily life. These causeways led to the mortuary temples, where priests performed sacred funeral rites for the deceased kings. While the famed Solar Boats of Khufu have now been relocated to the Grand Egyptian Museum, the boat pits where they were originally discovered remain on site, offering further historical insight. The plateau also includes a number of mastabas, ancient tombs used for the burial of royal family members and high-ranking officials. As the Eid celebrations continue, many Egyptians are taking advantage of the holiday to reconnect with their heritage and explore this awe-inspiring monument of human achievement. Ticket prices for visiting the Giza Pyramids: Egyptians: EGP 60 Egyptian Students: EGP 30 Foreign Visitors: EGP 700 Foreign Students: EGP 350 Visiting Hours: Daily from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM (Cairo local time) Whether for spiritual reflection, historical fascination, or simply the thrill of standing in the shadow of ancient giants, the Giza Pyramids remain a must-visit destination for all.
