The potential of the high-speed rail project in Egypt concerning changing the face of transportation infrastructure in this country is targeted in the present paper. Backed by the historical setting of pioneering railway systems, the "Habi" project modernizes its transport infrastructure with the present network limitations by offering a rapid, efficient, and sustainable transport alternative. Significant economic benefits are mobilized, like job creation, increase in investment, and balanced regional development. It also investigates the possibility of such a project increasing tourism by reducing journey times to places of interest and access to cultural sites. The other core objective of environmental sustainability will ensure that the project reduces greenhouse gas emissions significantly and limits energy consumption. Using sophisticated assessment methods—Cost-Benefit Analysis, Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, and Scenario Analysis—clearly established the project's financial feasibility and socio-economic benefits. Comparative analysis of the Japanese, French, and Chinese high-speed rail systems yields essential success factors and best-practice lessons transferable to the Egyptian context. Strategic policy recommendations in respect put forward the need to secure diversified funding, continuous innovation, environmental sustainability, and public outreach and engagement. The high-speed rail project promises to revolutionize Egypt's transport landscape by promoting connectivity, stimulating economic growth, and promoting sustainable development.
