Marseilia Property Investment chairman Yasser Ragab added: “We have identified a gap in the market to provide a high standard of hospitality and residential living in Egypt and now we have found the best partner to deliver our vision to guests.

“We have secured one of the last plots of land on the beachfront overlooking the Mediterranean and finalised the planning of what will be Egypt’s first mixed-use development consisting of hotel, hotel apartments and residential apartments appealing to the growing numbers of tourists and residents in the destination.”

The hotel will focus on offering a community lifestyle with integrated services and facilities ideal for families.
