Ta3mir or Primavera P6?
Primavera P6 is a well-known planning and scheduling tool for large portfolios. Ta3mir is not only a scheduler: it is the contractor's whole project in Arabic, where the schedule is linked to the BOQ, certificates, cost and the site. You can keep P6 for planning and import its schedule into Ta3mir.
