The planned New Mansoura high-speed electric train station forms part of the proposed fourth line connecting Port Said with Abu Qir in Alexandria. The approximately 250-kilometre corridor is planned to serve North Delta cities and ports through 14 stations across six governorates. Until an official operating date is announced, the route and completion schedule should be treated as planned infrastructure rather than an operating passenger service.
New Mansoura Train Project Overview
- Line: Fourth line of Egypt’s high-speed electric rail network.
- Planned route: Port Said to Abu Qir, Alexandria.
- Approximate length: 250 kilometres.
- Number of stations: 14 planned stations.
- Governorates served: Port Said, Dakahlia, Damietta, Kafr El Sheikh, Beheira and Alexandria.

Which Cities Will the Fourth Line Connect?
The announced corridor is expected to connect or serve major North Delta destinations including:
- Port Said.
- New Damietta.
- Gamasa.
- New Mansoura.
- Baltim.
- Edku.
- Abu Qir in Alexandria.
The line is designed to run broadly parallel to the International Coastal Road, improving movement between coastal cities, ports and urban communities.
Why Is the New Mansoura Station Important?
The station could reduce New Mansoura’s dependence on private cars and road-based transport while improving access for students, residents, employees and visitors. It may also strengthen links between the city and New Damietta, Port Said, Kafr El Sheikh and Alexandria.

Passenger and Freight Benefits
The fourth line is intended to support both passenger movement and logistics. Connections with East Port Said Port, Port Said Port, Damietta Port and Abu Qir Port could improve integration between seaports, industrial areas and cities.
A planned dry port in New Damietta would further support freight movement and the economic relationship between New Damietta and surrounding North Delta cities.
How Could the Train Affect Real Estate?
Major transport infrastructure can improve accessibility and broaden the number of people able to live, study or work in a city. For New Mansoura, improved rail connectivity could support residential, commercial, educational and tourism demand.
However, property appreciation is not guaranteed. Buyers should not pay a premium based only on a planned station before confirming its final location, implementation stage and official operating schedule.
Is the New Mansoura High-Speed Train Operating?
No confirmed full passenger operation should be assumed at the time of this update. The project remains planned or under implementation, and official Ministry of Transport announcements should be used for final routes, stations and opening dates.
