This year marks the 72nd anniversary of the 1952 revolution in Egypt, a revolution that ushered a new era not only in Egypt’s history, but also the history of the Arab World and the Middle East.
Over the past 72 years, and despite the unfavorable regional surroundings, Egypt has moved ahead, faced and successfully overcame various internal and external challenges, and, as it was always the case, followed its own nationally-charted path for political, economic and social development…. And today, Egypt is transforming itself yet again.
Egypt is currently pursuing a highly ambitious developmental and economic reform program. This program has succeeded in changing the shape of the country in the last decade, benefiting from unprecedented modernization plans of the infrastructure.
“Egypt is literally becoming a huge construction site with a wide variety of mega projects being undertaken all throughout the country”.
Improving transportation networks; expanding power generating capability; the Suez Canal Economic Zone; and a new administrative capital, are some highlights of these mega-projects.
