Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement for a 5-star holiday resort in El Sukhna, directly on the shores of the Red Sea, and scheduled to open in June, 2008.

The Mövenpick Resort El Sukhna is an integral part of the 62 acre El Ein Resort Village with its own private beach of fine sand and crystal clear water. This new hotel, located 55 km south of the Suez Canal, 90 minutes by car from Cairo, is planned to appeal not just to guests from all over the world, but also to target groups in Egypt.

The hotel’s 162 rooms and suites are contemporary in design and each has a sea view. Spacious swimming pools, a whole raft of sporting activities, a health club and a variety of boutiques (including a Gourmet Shop) offer a comprehensive range of leisure and entertainment facilities. The various lounges and restaurants - one of them uniquely located on a small island in the sea offering fresh seafood and grilled delicacies - will ensure that guests enjoy the very best culinary choice around the clock. Premises for up to 160 persons cater for conferences and banquets. All kinds of events for up to 1000 guests can be celebrated outdoors.
