The other tower will house 190 residences. Hilton is on hand to provide hospitality packages for the Nile Pearl Towers units if residents wish to utilise them. The inhabitants will also receive a 20% discount on all services available at the hotel.
Project progress
The development was first announced in March 2015, at which point the delivery date was set as July 2017. The original construction deal was awarded to a joint venture comprising Arabtec, with a 55% share and SIAC responsible for the remaining 45%. The contract included civil works, architectural works, finishing works, MEP works and landscaping.
However in January 2021, one of the several delays to the project was caused by Arabtec entering bankruptcy. Nevertheless, opening is now scheduled for November this year.
SED CEO Mohamed El-Taher recently confirmed to Daily News Egypt that construction of Hilton Cairo Nile Maadi has been completed and all services have been delivered. He noted that the hotel’s total investments amount to approximately EGP 3.7bn.
