Construction analogue
This is how a LOOP is built.
How a LOOP tunnel is built: the machine mines and erects liner at the same time — remotely, with no crew in the tunnel. Construction analogue, not a Cairo contract.

Government & investor briefing · September 2026
Egypt’s LOOP is a staged proof — not a network bet.
Three concepts. One rule: authorize corridor diligence first. Scale only after Cairo-specific delivery, demand and cash generation are visible.

The decree
Issue the decree. Authorize the Cairo proof.
Name a sponsor. Start the Heritage Loop and the airport together. Prove demand and ground on both. Ring-fence the cash so lenders can see debt service on its own. The workbook’s 105% IRR is not a return, and it is not this decree.
