Careem, the region’s leading app-based car booking service, announced expansion of its service in Hurghada with Orange Taxi. A number of Orange Taxi cabs have already joined the Careem network with more cars expected to join in the coming period.
“Hurghada is one of the most important tourism destinations in the Red Sea. Despite the challenges facing the Egyptian tourism sector, Hurghada welcomed more than 5,000 tourists from around the world last April. With tourism numbers expected to increase, we integrated Orange Taxi into the Careem network to provide safe, convenient transport for tourists and Egyptians alike,” said Ramy Kato, Head of Careem Egypt Operations and Vice President of Careem Care. “Providing Careem services in Hurghada enables us to enhance our presence in the Egyptian market, support the tourism sector, provide employment opportunities for taxi drivers and continue to develop the transportation sector in Egypt using the latest technology in the field.”
