Egypt’s private free zone regime allows manufacturers to operate under specialized customs and tax rules tailored for export, with the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) serving as the dedicated regulatory point of contact.
Our new publication, “Private Free Zones in Egypt: An Establishment & Licensing Guide 2026,” provides a practical, step-by-step roadmap for foreign manufacturers and industrial investors to navigate the establishment and licensing journey.
Key Features of the Guide
- Establishment Pathways: It details the two-track process of establishing a zone (requiring both GAFI and Cabinet approval) while simultaneously incorporating your operating company (either as a Joint Stock Company or a Limited Liability Company).
- Regulatory Requirements: The guide outlines essential pre-conditions, such as export thresholds and local-component requirements.
- Operational Roadmap: It provides a clear view of the necessary documentation, responsibilities, and indicative timelines at every stage, based on our firm’s decade of experience working on the ground with GAFI.
