Cairo House, Marriott to open Autograph Collection Hotel at Mogamma El-Tahrir
Cairo House Real Estate has partnered with Tourism Investment SAE and Marriott International to transform the historic Mogamma El-Tahrir into an Autograph Collection Hotel. This milestone marks a significant step in the Consortium's vision to repurpose the iconic building into a premier hotel and world-class destination. The project aligns with The Sovereign Fund of Egypt's (TSFE) broader initiative to revitalize downtown Cairo, positioning Mogamma El-Tahrir as a cornerstone for future investments.
The development will be led by an international consortium of developers and investors, including Global Ventures Group, Oxford Capital Group, Al Otaiba Investments, and Zoser Capital Partners.
Randall Langer, Chairperson of Global Ventures Group, emphasized the significance of the partnership, stating, 'We value the Marriott alliance, the strong support of TSFE, and the substantial efforts of the numerous team members bringing this project to life.'
The Autograph Collection Hotel is set to feature 500 guestrooms and serviced apartments, complemented by multiple dining and entertainment options. Plans also include a rooftop swimming pool overlooking Tahrir Square, offering panoramic views of the Nile and the distant Giza Pyramids.
Additionally, the property will house expansive meeting and event spaces, including a ballroom and an outdoor pavilion, as well as a fitness center and spa. Situated in one of Cairo's most vibrant districts, the hotel will be surrounded by embassies, government offices, and financial institutions. The development aligns with TSFE's broader plan to establish a dynamic business, tourism, and residential hub in the heart of the capital.
The transformation of Mogamma El-Tahrir represents a significant catalyst for further investment in downtown Cairo and underscores Egypt's commitment to strengthening its tourism sector.
Shady Hassan, Vice President of Development – North Africa at Marriott International, reaffirmed the company's dedication to the Egyptian market. 'We have had a long-standing presence in Egypt and remain committed to expanding our portfolio and supporting the country's growing tourism sector.

Wooden Coffins, Ostraca, Ancient Mudbrick Wall Unearthed in Luxor
Ali Abo Dashish _ Ahmed Emam Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has revealed two significant archaeological discoveries in Luxor, following a visit by Dr. Mohamed Ismail Khaled, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, who inspected the progress of ongoing excavation and restoration projects in the ancient city. During his visit, Dr. Khaled toured the newly restored Southern Chapels of the Akh-Menou temple at Karnak, a project completed in cooperation with the Egyptian-French Center for the Study of the Temples of Karnak (CFEETK). The chapels, now open to visitors for the first time, represent a major step in the ministry's efforts to expand cultural tourism and enhance visitor access to previously closed archaeological sites. In his remarks, Dr. Khaled hailed the French-Egyptian collaboration and emphasized the project's importance in preserving Egypt's rich heritage. The restoration involved structural and fine conservation work, detailed documentation of religious scenes, and efforts to improve accessibility for visitors, including special ramps for people with disabilities. According to Mohamed Abdel-Badie, Head of the Egyptian Antiquities Sector, cleaning efforts within the Southern Chapels unveiled vivid scenes showing royal rituals dedicated to the god Amun. The walls of the main corridor depict the "Heb Sed" festival—an ancient jubilee celebration—held by Pharaoh Thutmose III. A lengthy foundation inscription describes the structure as a 'temple of millions of years,' dedicated to Amun-Ra and the deities of Karnak. In turn, Dr. Abdel-Ghaffar Wagdy, Director of Luxor Antiquities and co-director of CFEETK from the Egyptian side, highlighted the high preservation state of the chapels. Much of the structure's walls and ceilings remain intact, and many of the vibrant wall paintings retain their original brilliance, making it one of Karnak's best-preserved monuments. In addition to restoration efforts, Dr. Khaled visited excavation sites where Egyptian archaeological teams have made remarkable discoveries. At Al-Asasif in the Qurna area, archaeologists uncovered a collection of small, undecorated wooden coffins, believed to belong to children. The coffins were found in poor condition. A specialist in human osteology and ancient wood is expected to analyze the remains to determine the coffins' date, as well as the age, gender, and cause of death of the individuals, shedding light on burial practices in the area. Mohamed Abdel-Badie noted that the team also discovered several ostraca—inscribed pottery and limestone fragments—alongside two partially damaged conical seal impressions bearing the title 'Supervisor of the House, Khonsu.' A shaft nearby contained blue faience shabti figurines, and a chamber with a central column showed traces of plaster, although it lacked inscriptions. Meanwhile, in the Nag' Abu Asba area near Karnak, another Egyptian mission uncovered the remains of a massive mudbrick wall dating back to the reign of King Menkheperre, a ruler from Egypt's 21st Dynasty. Each brick was stamped with the king's name and that of his queen. The site also revealed a sandstone gate, multiple workshops, and industrial installations, including furnaces for casting bronze statues and several Osirian bronze figurines of various sizes. Among the most significant finds at the site was a large beer-making facility, which archaeologists believe points to the area's role as an industrial zone in ancient times. Numerous tools, amulets, and coins were also found, offering new insights into the economic and religious life of the period. These discoveries, according to the Supreme Council of Antiquities, reinforce Luxor's position as a living museum and continue to deepen the global understanding of ancient Egyptian civilization. The ministry affirmed its commitment to supporting national archaeological missions and expanding access to newly uncovered heritage sites across Egypt. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
