I hope one day the rail network in Egypt is connected to Saudi Arabia. There has been talks about a bridge across the Gulf of Aqaba, but maybe that won't be necessary.

Is the reason there's no plans for the lower delta?

[-] Birbatron@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 months ago

The delta has lots of rail, and since the distances aren't that long and Egypt doesn't really have money to spare I guess using the normal rail there is fine.
