Egypt

Egypt has 9 submarine cable landing points, making it one of the most strategically important transit hubs in the world, as cables must pass through the Suez Canal corridor connecting the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. The principal landing cities are Zafarana, Abu Talat, Suez, Alexandria, Port Said, Ras Ghareb, Sidi Kerir, Taba, and Sharm el-Sheikh, serving major cables including 2Africa, SeaMeWe-4, SeaMeWe-5, SeaMeWe-6, AAE-1, PEACE Cable, EIG, and SEACOM/Tata TGN-Eurasia. With an isolation index of 10/100, Egypt's route diversity is relatively robust, reflecting its central role as a chokepoint for global data traffic between Europe, Asia, and Africa.
