Shak El-Thoban Development Project in Full Swing

The work of Shak El-Thoban project, one of the largest development projects undertaken by the government, is progressing in full swing to turn it into a global industrial zone.

Cairo governorate has completed its preparations to hand over 24 new ownership contracts to the project investors after formally legalizing their status.

The investors are fully committed to developing the facades of the units (workshops and factories), entrances and sidewalks according to the form approved by the project consultation office in order to preserve the overall aesthetic appearance away from randomness.
