First Train for Cairo Metro Line 4 Set to Arrive in May 2026

The first train for Cairo Metro’s Line 4 is scheduled to arrive in May 2026, marking a key milestone in the project’s first phase. The remaining 22 trains are expected to follow on schedule.

Phase 1 spans 19 km from 6th of October City to Al-Fustat, with 17 stations under development. Japan’s Mitsubishi Corporation is supplying the electromechanical system, the depot, and the full fleet of trains.

A feasibility study is underway for Phase 2, which would extend the line by 31.8 km to New Cairo, linking with Metro Line 6, the East Nile Monorail, and major transport hubs. Studies for Phases 3 and 4 are also in progress, covering potential extensions to Hosary Square and the Capital Airport Station.
