The two days

Where you need to be

Day 1 takes place in Alamein on the north coast. Day 2 moves to the manufacturing plants of 6th of October City, on the western edge of Cairo. Alamein is roughly three hours from Cairo, so plan travel between the two.

Day 1 · Alamein

The high-level segment, investment briefings, the ministerial roundtable, the structured business meetings and the evening reception all take place in Alamein.

Day 2 · 6th of October City, Cairo

Delegates travel to Cairo for the site visits, each delegate attending one host plant chosen at registration. The day runs from early morning to early evening.

Getting between the cities

Alamein sits about three hours by road from Cairo. Delegates should account for the transfer between Day 1 and Day 2 when booking arrival and departure.

Detailed transfer arrangements, airport guidance and any organised coaches will be confirmed by the secretariat and added here.

  • Indicate that you need a visa invitation letter when you register.
  • Visa issuance is decided by the Egyptian authorities; the portal does not process visas.
