I tried to install the binaries from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#shapely

I tried also to read this https://github.com/Toblerity/Shapely

I read these answers and different answers: Python, GEOS and Shapely on Windows 64

I tried many solutions and this what worked for me. I install OSGeo4W from https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ and after that, I add the path of OSGeo4W which is C:\OSGeo4W64\bin to my Environment Variables. And then I use pip to install the shapely Project

pip install shapely

https://pypi.org/project/Shapely/
