Construction of the 3rd segment, which is currently in the planning stage, is reported to begin soon. Further lines are proposed

I hope one day the rail network in Egypt is connected to Saudi Arabia. There has been talks about a bridge across the Gulf of Aqaba, but maybe that won’t be necessary.
Is the reason there’s no plans for the lower delta?
The delta has lots of rail, and since the distances aren’t that long and Egypt doesn’t really have money to spare I guess using the normal rail there is fine.
