Egypt industrial zones guide

Location decides logistics, hiring and paperwork for a factory in Egypt. Industry is concentrated in the new cities around Cairo and along the Suez Canal. This guide compares the zones Chinese and other foreign investors visit most, to narrow your shortlist before a site visit.

New industrial cities around Cairo
