Consulting Projects

The tourism sector has a large impact on job creation and a major ripple impact on the economy in Egypt, and is one of the four largest sources of foreign income for the country, along with petroleum exports, Suez Canal revenues and remittances by nationals working abroad. The tourism industry is therefore positioned as a significant means for turning the current account deficit into a surplus. How to effectively use historical cultural properties is one of the most important challenges in the tourism sector for the Government of Egypt. Although modern museums have been constructed in cities such as Alexandria and Luxor, the Egyptian Museum which preserves and exhibits the country's most important historical cultural properties needs maintenance and improvement in its buildings and facilities since operations began more than a century ago (the current location opened in 1902).

This project aims at constructing a new museum "the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)" in Giza area (15 kilometers southwest of Cairo), adjacent to the Pyramids, to strengthen the preservation and restoration of historical cultural properties, as well as boosting other functions such as the exhibition and research of such properties and educational activities. It is expected to exhibit more than 50,000 artifacts including all the famous King Tutankhamun's treasures including the golden mask. This would thereby contribute to the development of the tourism industry and create employment opportunities in Egypt, and in turn contribute to socioeconomic development.

The new museum will be one of the main and most important symbols of the Egyptian-Japanese long history of cooperation. JICA is financing the construction of the GEM through two ODA loans of a total around $ 800 million. Additionally, JICA is providing technical cooperation in relation to (1) conservation, restoration, packing and transportation of artifacts at the GEM Conservation Center (GEM-CC), (2) management and operation of the museum and exhibitions, in order to support the preparation for the museum's opening, (3) excavation of the second Khufu Ship (also known as the Solar Boat) in the Pyramids area, which is expected to become one of the key attractions of the GEM.

Marubeni Corporation played a significant role in Egypt's energy sector during the 1990s through the construction of key power stations. Among their notable projects were the El Tebbin and Ain Sokhna thermal power plants, strategically located to bolster Egypt's electricity generation capabilities.​

The El Tebbin Power Plant, situated in El Tebbin near Cairo, was a crucial addition to Egypt's energy infrastructure. Constructed with advanced technology and engineering, this thermal power plant contributed substantially to meeting the country's increasing electricity demand during the period of its operation.​​

The initiatives by Marubeni exemplified their commitment to fostering sustainable development and energy security in Egypt.

By leveraging their expertise in project management, advanced technology, and international partnerships, Marubeni significantly contributed to the modernization and expansion of Egypt's power infrastructure, thereby supporting economic growth and enhancing bilateral relations between Japan and Egypt.
