UAE announces Egypt's Ras El Hekma mega project

UAE, Egyptian Presidents witness signing of Ras El Hekma development project

The UAE Ministry of Investment (MoI) announced yesterday its support and key role in the advancement of the Ras El Hekma project and the participation of Emirati companies in its expansion and growth plan. This project is one of Egypt’s most ambitious coastal city developments.

Located approximately 350 kilometres northwest of Cairo, the Ras El Hekma project has garnered significant interest from Emirati investors, drawn by its potential as a financial centre, free zone, and luxury tourism destination. The Ministry has been instrumental in streamlining processes, simplifying investment frameworks, and identifying key opportunities for Emirati companies to participate in this strategic initiative.

Modon Holding, the master developer for the Ras El Hekma megaproject, will steer the project in partnership with prominent partners from Egypt, the UAE, and the international community. With several MoUs signed, including with Abu Dhabi Airports, TAQA, and Burjeel Holding, the MoI will continue to facilitate future collaborations, ensuring Emirati companies remain key contributors to Ras El Hekma's development.

Ras El Hekma is projected to be a major driver of economic growth, contributing $25 billion annually to Egypt’s GDP by 2045 and attracting $110 billion in investments during its development phase.

The UAE’s investment in Ras El Hekma reflects the shared vision between the two countries to promote sustainable urban development, regional prosperity, and deeper economic cooperation. This megaproject is poised to become a key driver of Egypt’s tourism and economic growth, with the UAE’s MoI continuing to play a pivotal role in guiding and promoting Emirati investments across various sectors.
