A roughly 42-km driverless monorail serving west Cairo — linking the fast-growing 6th of October City to Giza and the wider transport network.مونوريل بلا سائق بطول نحو 42 كيلومترًا يخدم غرب القاهرة — رابطًا مدينة السادس من أكتوبر السريعة النموّ بالجيزة وبالشبكة الأوسع.
The western counterpart to the New Capital line, the 6th October Monorail brings the same sleek, driverless technology to the other side of Greater Cairo. Running roughly 42 kilometres, it is designed to link the fast-growing 6th of October City with Giza, weaving the western suburbs into the capital's modern transport grid. Together with the eastern line, it completes a two-line monorail system serving Cairo's biggest new satellite cities.

Serving West Cairo · يخدم غرب القاهرة
A line for the west.خطٌّ للغرب.
The 6th October Monorail (the West Nile line) runs roughly 42 kilometres with around a dozen stations, connecting 6th of October City — one of Cairo's largest satellite cities — with Giza and the heart of the metropolis. Like its eastern twin, it uses driverless, automated trains on an elevated guideway, offering a fast, traffic-free alternative for the many residents and workers of Cairo's sprawling western districts.
Completing the System · إتمام المنظومة
East and west connected.الشرق والغرب موصولان.
Paired with the New Capital line, the 6th October Monorail completes Cairo's two-line monorail system, connecting at interchange points with the Cairo Metro. This integration lets passengers move smoothly between the western suburbs, central Cairo, and the eastern new cities, helping stitch the vast, spread-out metropolis into a more connected whole.

Trials and opening.تجاربُ وافتتاح.
Following the opening of the eastern line, the 6th October Monorail has been moving through its trial and commissioning phases toward full passenger service. Once both lines are running, the combined system is set to be the longest driverless monorail in the world — a centrepiece of Egypt's drive for clean, modern mass transit to ease congestion across Greater Cairo.
