The Kuwaiti company Urbnlanes, a subsidiary of Emeel Abdalla Investments, signed a partnership agreement with STORY Hospitality, which manages a portfolio of leading hotel and commercial brands around the world and is a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Capital Group, one of the UAE\u2019s leading investment firms.<\/p>\n
The agreement was signed on the sidelines of the second edition of the \u201cThe Investor.. Real Estate\u201d conference, organized by Black Diamond, a leading company in organizing conferences and exhibitions, on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at the Nile Ritz-Carlton Hotel in downtown Cairo.<\/p>\n
The agreement was signed on behalf of Urbnlanes by Eng. Fadi Abdalla, CEO of the company, and on behalf of STORY Hospitality by Mr. Victor Abou Ghanem, CEO of the group, in the presence of Mr. Hossam Heiba, CEO of the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones in Egypt.<\/p>\n
The signing ceremony was also attended by Mr. Emeel Abdalla, Chairman of Emeel Abdalla Investments, and senior representatives from Abu Dhabi Capital Group, along with a number of prominent Egyptian public figures.<\/p>\n
On this occasion, Eng. Fadi Abdalla, CEO of Urbnlanes, stated that this agreement \u2014 the first of its kind in the Egyptian real estate market \u2014 relates to the company\u2019s flagship project, Noi Residence New Cairo, and marks just the beginning of future cooperation between both parties in various projects within the local and regional markets.<\/p>\n
Abdalla added that the agreement will create a significant shift in Egypt\u2019s hospitality sector by establishing the concept of extended vacations in hotel apartments. It also aligns with the Egyptian government\u2019s plans to double the current hospitality capacity of 250,000 hotel rooms by 2028 to meet the target of welcoming 30 million tourists by 2030.<\/p>\n
Eng. Shady Abdalla, Co-CEO of Urbnlanes, noted that there is a shortage of hotels and hotel rooms in Egypt, which currently has around 250,000 units that have been built over many years \u2014 a number that does not match the current and projected tourist influx. For this reason, Urbnlanes is focusing on serving Egypt\u2019s hospitality sector and forging partnerships with reputable companies such as Abu Dhabi Capital Group.<\/p>\n
H.E. Abubaker Al Khoori GCEO of Abu Dhabi Capital Group emphasized that this partnership represents not just another milestone for STORY Hospitality, but a reflection of ADCG\u2019s long-term vision to elevate hospitality benchmarks in the region along with a solid and renowned partner. He remarked being so proud to back a brand that consistently delivers excellence and is expanding its global footprint with purpose and passion.<\/p>\n
Mr. Victor Abou Ghanem, CEO of Story Hospitality, expressed his pleasure in the upcoming cooperation between both parties, pointing out that Egypt has all the capabilities to achieve a leading global position in the tourism and hospitality sector \u2014 particularly after the significant infrastructure development and the strong government focus on tourism and antiquities. He also highlighted the full opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum next July as a key milestone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
