Business in Cairo
Wholesale streets around Al-Muski and Khan el-Khalili supply goods to shops across Egypt, while industrial cities on the desert edge, 10th of Ramadan and 6th of October, host pharmaceutical, food, textile, building-materials and appliance plants. Smart Village houses telecom and IT outsourcing firms, and tourism centred on the Giza pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum is a major source of foreign currency.
Also known as Al Qahirah and Greater Cairo.
Where software helps: Egyptian businesses must submit every B2B invoice to the Egyptian Tax Authority's e-invoicing system and issue e-receipts at retail, often while handling imports priced in dollars.
