CAIRO – 14 January 2023: The Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) announced on Saturday that the development plan of Al-Arish Port in northeastern Egypt will be concluded in 2024. The port is being developed in cooperation with the Armed Forces’ Engineering Authority, the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), and national contracting companies, including Arab Contractors and El-Gharably, Gamal El-Din said. Development of the port will help it become able to receive modern ships with huge payloads, Gamal El-Din said. Madbouly stressed the great strategic importance of Al-Arish Port given its unique location on the Mediterranean Sea and its position as part of the SCZone. The state is keen on reopening the port after its renovation in order to enhance the economic development in Egypt, especially in North Sinai, said North Sinai Governor Mohamed Abdel Fadeel Shousha during the visit.
