The Cairo Alexandria Desert Road, or Cairo Gate, is a major highway in Egypt connecting the cities of Cairo and Alexandria. It is the nation's longest highway, stretching approximately 218 miles (351 km) in length. It is also the most important artery connecting the two major cities of Egypt.

Constructed between 1947 and 1951, the road crosses the desert, starts at Cairo and ends at Alexandria on the Mediterranean Coast. Along its route, the road passes through lush Nile Delta farmlands with crops such as cotton, sugar cane, and rice.
