Addis Ababa, Khartoum and Port Sudan on the Red Sea. The route has already been agreed by both governments. The two-year study will assess the railway’s technical, economic, environmental and social challenges, including the possibility of procuring it as a public–private partnership. Link to Egypt A 250 km/h rail link from the Egyptian city of Aswan to Wadi Halfa in the north has been proposed. The $2.5 million feasibility study was signed with Kuwaiti investment in April 2022, and would include a 6km bridge across Lake Nasser. A further standard-gauge extension from Halfa to Khartoum has been proposed to give travelers from there a one-seat ride to Alexandria.
