The<\/strong> Transport Ministry is<\/strong> offering around 1.9k feddans of land for logistics <\/strong>zones across Sinai <\/strong>\u2014 1.5k feddans in North Sinai and 400 in South Sinai \u2014 along the strategic Arish\u2013Taba corridor in Al Hasana, Baghdad, and Rafah, two government officials tell EnterpriseAM. The targeted sectors include high-value-added industries such as petrochemicals, metals, and food processing, the sources note.<\/p>\n

Why this matters<\/strong>: The push comes as shipping disruptions \u2014 including threats around Bab El Mandeb and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz \u2014 are pushing shipping agents and freight forwarders to establish alternative overland routes, we\u2019re told.<\/p>\n

The proposed zones alongside the construction of new rail infrastructure will support the <\/strong>Arab Trade Line<\/strong>, which aims to link the GCC, Iraq, and Jordan to Mediterranean ports in Egypt within the next two years, one of the officials tells us. These planned zones, in addition to the eight already established on the peninsula, will also be promoted as part of a broader trade corridor connecting Asia and Africa.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next? <\/strong>Local and foreign investors will both be invited to submit applications to establish the logistics zones, we\u2019re told.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
