IHCL Managing Director and CEO Puneet Chhatwal said that introducing the Taj brand in Cairo supports the company's international growth strategy, focusing on key gateway cities while extending the brand's signature warm and sincere service. He highlighted the significance of Cairo, noting that the city's rich cultural heritage and strategic location at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East, and Europe have made it a longstanding hub for tourism and global trade.
The property is owned by the Egyptian General Company for Tourism & Hotels (EGOTH), a state-owned enterprise responsible for the development, ownership, and revitalization of landmark hospitality and tourism assets across Egypt. EGOTH CEO Hisham El Demery emphasized that the company aims to honor the legacy of this iconic landmark through thoughtful redevelopment and world-class standards.

This project also strengthens ties between Indian and Egyptian tourism initiatives, bringing together expertise from both countries to attract international travelers.
