The new building will also include a garage with up to four basement floors.
The Shepheard Hotel is a historical hotel in Egypt founded in 1841. Initially, the hotel was situated in the Azbakeya neighbourhood, but after it was burned in the Cairo fire, the present Shepherd Hotel was rebuilt in the Garden City area in front of the Nile River.
Al-Sharif Group CEO Al-Sharif Ibn Abdul-Hakim Al-Sharif said that it is proud of its role in developing the hotel due to its historical status.
“Therefore, we seek to mobilise all our capabilities and choose the best business partners, which is evident in the selection of SIAC Company to carry out the contracting work for the Shepherd Hotel due to its leadership in Egypt and the Middle East.”
