Saudi prince Alwaleed to invest $800m in Egypt hotels



Saudi Arabia's Prince Alwaleed bin Talal will invest about US$800 million to expand the Four Seasons resort in Sharm El Sheikh, in partnership with Talaat Moustafa Holding, Egypt's Investment Minister Sahar Nasr said on Monday.

The billionaire prince Alwaleed's investment will also include establishing two new hotels in Al Alamein, a town on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, and Madinaty, a residential compound east of Cairo, Mr Nasr.

Prince Alwaleed owns about 40 hotels and resorts in Egypt, in addition to 18 others that are still under construction.

In June, Egypt passed a long-delayed investment law that aims to make doing business there easier and lure back investors after years of turmoil following a political uprising in 2011.
