A third line between Luxor and Hurghada on the Red Sea coast is also planned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As NGE claimed, it will provide its expertise and human and material resources to local companies, Orascom and Arab Contractors, for the contract.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Works will begin in early 2023 and will need the mobilization of up to 500 people on site.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The latest comprises the installation of over 100 turnouts between the cities of Ain Al Sokhna and Borg El Arab, through the October 6 City.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">COO of international and major projects at NGE, Orso Vesperini, stated: \u201cWe are proud to make a significant contribution to this project, which will provide nearly 90 percent of the Egyptian population with access to fast and reliable public transport,\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt will also make a significant contribution to sustainability by shifting freight traffic to rail and stimulating Egypt\u2019s economic development,\u201d added Vesperini.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also claimed: \u201cBuilding and renovating infrastructure to serve territories around the world is our primary mission, our raison d\u2019\u00eatre, and this project fits perfectly with achieving this ambition,\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis new success is in line with our strategy to double our international business by 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France&#8217;s NGE
