The Cairo Monorail is a two-line monorail rapid transit system, which will be the longest driverless monorail system in the world. The two lines provide the first public transit links from the New Administrative Capital and 6th of October City to the Cairo metropolitan area, facilitating the movement of residents and visitors of Greater Cairo, reducing congestion and reliance on automobiles, and improving air quality.

The first line is the New Administrative Capital Monorail Transportation System. Featuring 22 stations and a depot, this approximately 56 km line connects the New Administrative City with East Cairo, providing a transfer to the Cairo Metro Line 3 at its terminus, Stadium Station, as well as a connection with the Cairo Light Rail Transit System at Almasa Hotel Station in the New Administrative Capital. The New Administrative Capital Monorail Transportation System opened in March 2026.

The second line is 6th of October City Monorail Transportation System. With an approximate length of 42 km, 13 stations, and another depot, this line will connect 6th of October City with Giza, providing a transfer to the Cairo Metro Line 3 at Wadi El Nile Station.
