Saoud Urban Development
We go beyond construction to shape visionary developments guided by insight, innovation, and purpose.
Setting new benchmarks for large-scale developments across tourism and urban landscapes.
A Vision Built on Experience and Scale
Saoud Urban Development operates across six major tourism sectors, developing large-scale projects designed to serve both today’s market demands and tomorrow’s opportunities. Our portfolio is backed by a large scale investment platform, led by Chairman Mostafa Talha and Chief Executive Officer Sheikah Mariam Al-Kassemi, and powered by a strategic partnership between Egyptian and Emirati business leaders.
Complementing our regional presence, Saoud Urban Development is supported by its sister company in the UAE, Smart Towers Investments LLC, strengthening our cross-market expertise and expanding our development capabilities across the Middle East.
Global Partnerships. Local Impact
One of our most significant milestones is our strategic partnership with Accor Group, one of the world’s leading hospitality groups. This collaboration marks the launch of Swissôtel October, a landmark development in 6th of October City, Egypt.
Swissôtel Cairo West will introduce a luxury five-star hotel and serviced residences, offering a refined living and hospitality experience that reflects Swiss precision, modern elegance, and world-class service. This project represents more than a hotel—it is a statement of confidence in Egypt’s future as a global tourism and investment destination.
Beyond Development: A Responsibility to Society
We believe that urban development carries a responsibility beyond buildings and infrastructure. Saoud Urban Development is deeply committed to cultural, social, and community-driven initiatives, ensuring that our projects contribute positively to the environments and communities they serve.
Aligned with the Egypt Vision 2030, particularly its ambition to reach 30 million tourists by 2030, Saoud Urban Development considers itself a strategic partner in supporting national growth, sustainable tourism, and economic resilience. Sustainability is not an afterthought—it is embedded in how we plan, build, and invest.
A Diversified Future
In addition to real estate and hospitality, Saoud Urban Development holds investments across agriculture, tourism, and food, reinforcing our belief in diversified, resilient growth models.
Looking ahead, the company is preparing to launch two major new projects in Egypt’s North Coast and Dubai, with planned investments totaling $2 billion, further solidifying our position as a regional development leader with global ambition.
We build destinations, shape experiences, and create legacies that endure
Message from the Chairman
At Saoud Urban Development, we believe that meaningful development is defined not by scale alone, but by purpose, precision, and the lasting value it creates.
From the beginning, our focus has been on delivering projects that respond to real needs, respect their surroundings, and contribute positively to the future of our cities. Guided by long-term thinking, disciplined planning, and strong partnerships, we strive to deliver developments that meet global standards while remaining locally relevant.
As Egypt moves forward with its Vision 2030, we are proud to play a role in supporting sustainable growth—particularly in tourism and urban development—through projects that enhance destinations and create enduring impact.
