Careem has rolled out a trial run of its tuk-tuk service in parts of Cairo, according to Youm7. The report comes only weeks after the ride-hailing app launched bus services in the Egyptian capital and delivery services in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and announced its intention to invest between USD 100-120 mn in the Egyptian market. The company is awaiting clarification on the legal status of tuk-tuks and the executive regulations of the Ride-Hailing Apps Act, which should be out by year-end.
