About the group
Orascom traces its roots back to year 1950 when Eng.Onsi Sawiris, the founder of Orascom Group and the owner of Orascom Trading Company, first founded a construction company with few friends in Upper Egypt. By digging waterways and paving roads, he built his business into one of Egypt's largest general contractors. In 1961, the business was nationalized and later became known as El Nasr Civil Works Company. Not content to be an employee in his own company, Eng. Sawiris left for Libya where he continued his construction career.

In 1976, he returned to Egypt and founded Orascom as a general contracting and trading company with just five employees.
