It is considered a natural extension of Alexandria Port. Work has started at Dekheila Port since 1980, and its use has been phased since 1986, when the metal berth (berth 90) began operating. The port occupies the former site of the air port of the Dekheila Air Base, west of Alexandria port, about 7 km by sea and about 10 km by land.
The site has the following characteristics:
- A bay with great depths on the sea side, which reduces the cost of cleaning, in addition to the fact that the northern side of it represents a shallow site and several small islands that contribute to the low cost of the barrier when it is established.
- A semi-sand area, which constitutes a saving in the cost of backfilling and buildings.
- Ease of connection with national roads (Alexandria/Cairo Desert Road) and railways.
- The site is close to the Dekheila steel complex, the free zone and the West Alexandria power plant project, which saves the cost of transporting the required raw materials.
- The presence of a network of railways, which facilitates the transportation of goods for foreign trade.
- The floor space is sufficient for the port's future phases and allows for the establishment of a logistics area.
