Abstract

History tell us that well designed transportation link lead to boom for any society. If a link is well planned and executed according to the plan, railroad can work in parallel with highway routes/networksand to be the gates of the development and growth. Transportation linkconnect two or more cities and ensure that employment, industries, and development follow. All the related items during the design will make up a safe link. Modern transportation links are known for their high capacity, efficiency, and planned construction. These linksare very important for the growth of a region and open new trade routes.The main objective of this thesis is to check if it is feasible to design and construct transportation link connects between the Greater Cairo Region and Marsa-Matrouh passing by Qattara Depression through the western desert
