Sokhna Logistics Park Opens, Strengthening Egypt’s Regional Trade Role
As part of a series of long-term investments in Egypt, DP World has officially inaugurated Sokhna Logistics Park, in partnership with British International Investment (BII), the UK’s development finance institution.
Located in the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE), the park reinforces DP World’s long-term commitment to further strengthening Egypt’s trade infrastructure. The Dubai-based group is investing US$ 85 million to develop Sokhna Logistics Park in two phases. Phase one is now operational, while phase two is scheduled to launch in the third quarter of 2026, expanding the total park area to nearly 300,000 m2.
As the first integrated logistics facility in SCZONE, it provides bonded and non-bonded solutions, real-time visibility, on-site customs inspections, and a dedicated DP World customer portal. It will cater to the requirements of a range of different sectors, including raw materials, packaging, agriculture, electronics, construction materials, textiles, automotive components and electric vehicles.
“Our commitment in Egypt goes beyond the port,” said Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman and Group CEO of DP World. “We are building a sustainable, fully integrated logistics ecosystem that offers end-to-end solutions – from factory floor to customer door – driving seamless integration and trade flows that will boost exports, create jobs, and support economic growth.”
The Chairman also announced that DP World has started construction of a new cold storage facility in 6th of October City. The 16,000m² cold storage facility that is now being built represents a US$ 29 million investment. Connected to the logistics park, it is designed to strengthen the country’s cold chain capabilities and support growing demand for energy-efficient, temperature-controlled storage.
Since 2008, DP World has supported Egypt’s trade growth with over US$ 1.3 billion invested. Much of this has been made to expand capacity at, and modernise, Sokhna port, while linking it with global supply chains.
