Minor Hotels has partnered with Sunrise Resorts & Cruises in a new joint venture that will see the pair open and manage 50 hotels in Egypt over the next decade.
The partnership will also see Minor’s flagship luxury brand Anantara enter the Egyptian market.
The developments will be in both urban and leisure destinations, including West Cairo, Azha Ras El Hekma on the North Coast and Azha Ain Al Sokhna.
Nile river cruises will also be part of the deal, “building on the success of the hotel group’s portfolio of Asia-based river cruises, including Mekong Kingdom and Loy Pela, reinforcing Egypt’s appeal as one of the world’s most iconic travel destinations”.
Minor International Chairman and Founder William E. Heinecke says, “Signing this joint venture is an important milestone as we bring our hotel brands and hospitality expertise to Egypt, one of the world’s most storied and inspiring destinations”.
“Together, we are charting a long-term vision that combines Sunrise Resorts & Cruises’ deep local knowledge with our global reach to deliver exceptional luxury and lifestyle experiences across Egypt’s leading destinations.”
Sunrise Resorts & Cruises chair Hossam El Shaer says, “Egypt’s tourism sector is experiencing remarkable growth, fueled by increased investment and growing global interest”.
“We are proud to be part of a collaboration that reflects our shared vision to elevate the country’s hotel and tourism industry. Since founding Sunrise in 2002, we’ve focused on creating integrated, sustainable destinations that meet the highest international standards.
“This Partnership signals strong global confidence in Egypt’s economy and directly supports the goals of Egypt’s Vision 2030.”
