Operating under Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts management effective March 5, 2012, the Mövenpick Resort Hurghada is located in Hurghada Bay. The resort benefited from a programme of renovations throughout 2010, which will continue during 2012 in stages to “insure a smooth operation”, the company said.
On April 8, 2012, the Movenpick will take over operations of Mövenpick Resort Sharm El Sheikh - Naama Bay, which features 298 rooms and four villas with private pool.
The expansion programme includes the opening at the end of the year of Mövenpick Resort Abu Soma, a 424-room property.
Mövenpick Nile Cruisers are set to offer more options for cruising the river Nile after it boosts its fleet in October 2012 with the historical steamship ‘Misr’ and four more boats, the M/S Sun Ray, Darakum, Hamees and Feddya. The hotel management company will then operate a total of seven ships on the Nile and one on Lake Nasser.
