Cape Cairo is a proposed intercontinental railways. Under this plan, the city and the port of Cairo located on the northern end of the Nile river in Egypt in the north-east of Africa are planned to be connected by railways to Capetown at the southern end of south Africa. This route will be approximately 14000 km long.

This railways proceeds through Zimbabwe’s city Bullvayo in the south to Pretoria the capital of South Africa and goes to Capetown, through the well-known town of Johannesburg and Kimberley (gold mines). Due to dense forests and high downhill areas, the traffic in this port is completely undeveloped. Upon completion of the proposed Cape Cairo Railways, African territories from north to south will have mutual relations and this will help in their economic development.
