DP World has reached a major milestone in developing the Sokhna Logistics Park: 65% of the first phase is complete. The $80 million state-of-the-art logistics hub in the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE) will enhance Egypt’s logistics and infrastructure and position the country as a key regional trade hub.
The 300,000-square-meter facility is designed to provide cost-effective, integrated supply chain solutions, leveraging DP World’s global network. Scheduled for completion in June 2025, the park will drive efficiency, reduce logistics costs, and strengthen connectivity between Egypt, the Middle East, Africa, and beyond.
The park is just ten kilometres from Sokhna Port and offers direct access to Greater Cairo’s key and major industrial zones. Its strategic location will enable businesses to reduce operational costs and improve efficiency through streamlined cargo movements.
Built to the highest international standards, the park is designed to support a range of industries, including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, retail, automotive, and textiles. It will feature bonded and non-bonded warehouses, office space, and open cargo and container yards. Logistics activities include warehousing, freight forwarding, customs clearing, and value-added services like labelling, coding, sorting, packing, 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 within the next few months. The facility will support a wide range of imports, exports, and transit cargo. It will be integrated with DP World’s operWorld’sat Sokhna Port, offering a full range of multi-modal supply chain services, including freight forwarding and logistics solutions. Access to DP World’s global infrastructure network will provide cost-effective supply chain solutions for local and international businesses”.
The new facility has drawn interest from local and international markets, including businesses established in Dubai’s Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), which are looking to expand regionally.
