Hilton to triple Egypt presence with new brands

Hilton is planning to triple its presence in Egypt, increasing the number of hotels to 25 and expanding its footprint to more than 40 properties.

The expansion includes the opening of its lifestyle brand, Tapestry Collection, on the African continent, as well as Egypt’s first Curio Collection and a resort under the Hilton Hotels & Resorts brand.

Hilton Cairo Nile Maadi, located in the capital’s upscale Maadi district, is scheduled to open in early 2025.

Egypt is Hilton’s longest-standing market in the Middle East and Africa region, with more than 60 years of operations, Carlos Khneisser, vice president, development, Middle East & Africa said.

Several existing properties in Egypt are undergoing refurbishments, including the Ramses Hilton, Hilton Pyramids Golf and Hilton Cairo Heliopolis.

• Hilton says Middle East expansion will add 35,000 jobs
• Plan announced to build six new hotels in Egypt
• Egypt offers Red Sea peninsula for development

The company’s fast-growing pipeline of hotels in Egypt is expected to create over 5,000 new job opportunities.

NYSE-listed Hilton recently launched its hospitality school in Egypt, collaborating with academic institutions and universities to train and recruit hospitality professionals.
