Careem launches in Matrouh and Qena, part of Egypt expansion plan

Ride-hailing app Careem has launched operations in Marsa Matrouh and Qena as part of an expansion plan to bring its services to governorates across Egypt, according to a statement seen by Masrawy. The move to Matrouh is meant to coincide with the summer season to take advantage of the large number of holidaymakers in the city. The decision to expand to Qena, meanwhile, was prompted by the city’s large population of 3 mn. The company is currently studying launching in the new cities being built by the New Urban Communities Authority.
