In the Greater Cairo Metropolitan Area of Egypt, the infrastructure for roads has struggled to keep up with the rapid population growth and increase in the number of vehicles, leading to challenges, such as chronic traffic congestion and associated air pollution.
The Cairo Metro Line 4 Phase 1 Project addresses this issue through the construction of a subway spanning approximately 19 km from 6th of October City to Fustat City, passing through the Giza Pyramid area, Giza district, and the downstream area of the Nile River. There are also plans to extend it to the New Administration Capital. Upon the completion and opening of Cairo Metro Line 4, it is anticipated that traffic congestion and air pollution in the Giza tourist area will be alleviated. Additionally, it will enable a quick 20-minute commute from central Cairo to Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, which held a trial opening of its permanent galleries in October 2024.
