IFC\u2019s suite spot: <\/strong>The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is in the final stages of approving a USD 100 mn senior secured corporate loan for AlDau Hospitality, part of ADD Properties, to fund a flagship hotel overlooking the Grand Egyptian Museum, according to a disclosure<\/a> from the lender. The IFC\u2019s board is expected to vote on the financing package next month.<\/p>\n

The loan is part of a larger multi-tranche financing package.<\/strong> The company also secured a USD 110 mn senior loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and the remaining USD 55 mn is being provided in parallel tranches by unnamed \u201clocal and\/or international financial institutions,\u201d the disclosure reads.<\/p>\n

If approved, the loan will be extended to Marygo Hospitality BV \u2014 <\/strong>the Netherlands-based holding company that manages the hospitality assets of the Sami Saad Group \u2014 with its Egyptian subsidiaries acting as co-borrowers.<\/p>\n

Behind Sami Saad\u2019s strategic shift: <\/strong>A household name in Egypt\u2019s contracting sector via its construction arm Samcrete, the Sami Saad Group has quietly cemented its place as a hospitality-led holding company. This move into hospitality \u2014 spearheaded by launching ADD properties (formerly known as AlDau Development) \u2014 gained momentum with the successful reintroduction of the Hyatt brand to Egypt back in 2022<\/a>. More recently, the company has been focused on more art-integrated, lifestyle-driven projects near the Giza Plateau.<\/p>\n
