Scheduled to open in 2028, the project - developed by Crest Development through its real estate subsidiary Living Lines - will form part of a larger mixed-use masterplan in the rapidly growing Sheikh Zayed city area, catering to the rising demand for high-quality accommodations across Greater Cairo.
Strategically positioned to serve both 6th of October City and Sheikh Zayed City, Mövenpick Cairo West places guests at the doorstep of key business districts, leading educational and healthcare institutions, as well as renowned attractions such as the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Giza Pyramids, each just a 20–30-minute drive away.
The property will feature 220 thoughtfully designed guest rooms and suites, two restaurants, one bar, a 500 sqm ballroom, four meeting rooms, and a full suite of wellness and leisure amenities including a spa, fitness center, and two swimming pools.
