Telecom Egypt (TE): West Qena Data Center

The West Qena Data Center is a regional facility operated by Telecom Egypt, strategically located in the Qena Governorate along the Nile in Upper Egypt. According to Telecom Egypt’s list of eight data-centre sites, the West Qena facility is cited among its major infrastructure locations, signifying the company’s commitment to extending digital-infrastructure reach beyond the greater Cairo and Alexandria regions. 

Its positioning in Qena provides key advantages including geographic diversity, regional connectivity to Egypt’s domestic fibre backbone, and the opportunity for organizations to colocate infrastructure outside the densely saturated Cairo/Alexandria metropolitan corridor. As part of Telecom Egypt’s broader data-centre and connectivity network, it complements the operator’s role as a submarine-cable landing-station aggregator and national carrier with extensive terrestrial network infrastructure.
