DP World advances first phase of $80m Sokhna Logistics Park

WAM

DP World is advancing with the development of its Sokhna Logistics Park, in Egypt. The $80 million (AED 293 million) state-of-the-art logistics hub, is set to enhance Egypt’s logistics infrastructure and position the country as a key regional trade hub.

Spanning 300,000 square metres, the facility, strategically located in the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE), is designed to provide cost-effective, integrated supply chain solutions, leveraging DP World’s extensive 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.

Situated just ten kilometres from Sokhna Port, the park offers direct access to Greater Cairo’s key markets and major industrial zones. Its location will enable businesses to reduce operational costs and improve efficiency with streamlined cargo movements.

Built to the highest international standards, the park is designed to support a range of industries, such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, retail, automotive and textile and will feature bonded and non-bonded warehouses, office space and open cargo and container yards, with logistics activities including warehousing, freight forwarding, customs clearing, and value-added services like labelling, coding, sorting, packing and inspection.

The new facility has already drawn interest from both local and international markets, including businesses already established in Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) in Dubai, who are looking to expand regionally.
