Egypt’s Orascom Construction Limited has finalized the revamp works of El-Alamein Hotel in Marassi resort and delivered it to Emaar Hospitality Group in less than eight months, Invest-Gate reports.

In line with its “fast-track” project’s schedule, Orascom has said it “implemented an intensive schedule to refurbish, upgrade, and convert” the renowned 200-room hotel to a luxury, state-of-the-art establishment, according to Orascom’s statement.

Commenting on the development, Orascom CEO Osama Bishai says, “[Orascom] is pleased to work with a big player and repeat client like Emaar and are proud to deliver this high-quality project in record timing. Such projects are expected to boost Egypt’s tourism and our ability to consistently execute projects on a fast-track basis will be of great resource to other developers.”

“We strive for nothing less than the highest global standards for our customers and our developments in Egypt including El Alamein Hotel, which renovation costs totaled EGP 1.5 bn,” Emaar Chairman Mohamed Alabbar said.

Emaar has several hotels already launched such as Vida Marassi Marina, Address Marassi Beach Resort, and Address Marassi Golf Resort + Spa. Marassi will be home to seven luxury hotels with up to 3,000 rooms.

A marina is currently under construction within Marassi, with Orascom being the project’s main contractor.
