DP World has officially inaugurated the Sokhna Logistics Park, marking a significant step in strengthening Egypt’s role as a strategic trade and logistics hub. Developed in partnership with British International Investment (BII), the UK’s development finance institution, the new facility underscores DP World’s continued investment in Egypt’s long-term trade infrastructure.

Located within the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone), the US$85 million project is being rolled out in two phases. The first phase is now fully operational, while the second phase, set for completion in Q3 2026, will expand the site to nearly 300,000 square metres. Once complete, the park will generate over 300 jobs and deliver a fully integrated logistics ecosystem that connects directly to the port.

As the first of its kind in the SCZone, the Sokhna Logistics Park offers bonded and non-bonded warehousing, on-site customs inspections, real-time cargo visibility, and a dedicated DP World customer portal. The initiative aims to streamline Egypt’s trade flows, increase exports, and provide sustainable end-to-end logistics solutions.

“Our commitment in Egypt goes beyond the port,” said Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, chairman and CEO of DP World. “We are creating an integrated ecosystem that drives economic growth, enhances efficiency, and supports job creation across key sectors.”

In tandem with the park’s opening, DP World has begun constructing a US$29 million, 16,000 square metre cold storage facility in 6th of October City to strengthen Egypt’s cold chain network and meet the rising demand for energy-efficient storage solutions.
