The Taj City Cairo-Suez Road is a major transportation artery in Egypt that connects the Egyptian capital, Cairo, to the port city of Suez. The road is roughly 80 kilometres in length and was built in 1962 as part of a series of projects to improve infrastructure for the region.
The road features two lanes in each direction with several bridges and tunnels included along the route, allowing for fast and efficient passage through otherwise difficult terrain. It primarily serves trucking traffic and those travelling between Cairo and Suez, allowing for quicker travel between the two cities. The road has also brought significant economic development to the surrounding area, increasing trade, commerce and tourism.
The Taj City Cairo-Suez Road is also an important cultural site, as it passes through a number of ancient ruins, monuments and archaeological sites on its route. These sights give a glimpse into Egypt's rich and diverse history and have become popular places to visit while traveling the road.
In recent years, the government of Egypt has put forward efforts to upgrade the road and ensure its safety, investing heavily in new asphalt, improved lighting and signposting, better tunnel maintenance and numerous other improvements. These efforts have made the road a safer and more reliable route
