The New El Alamein City Internal Transportation Hub spans an area of approximately 5200 square meters, with an administrative building of 220 square meters. The hub features two bus shelters, one accommodating 8 large buses and the other 16 large buses, as well as two car shelters, one for 7 cars and the other for 11 cars. The facility also includes waiting areas for passengers, public restrooms, and an administrative building with staff offices and accommodations.
