He explained that “running on an area of 95.000 square metres, the project takes a unique location close to the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport with a 300-metre long beach of a special and distinct nature. The project also comprises a main restaurant and 4 specialised restaurants, and meeting, conference and banquet rooms, as well as a GYM and a health club”.
He emphasised that the Suez Canal Axis Development Project contributed to enhancing the economic position of the canal cities, and placing them on the investment map for local and foreign developers.
At the end of 2019, a usufruct contract was signed between Port Said Governorate and Hamzawy Holding to exploit the formerly “Al-Murjan Tourist” village – the current “Helnan Port Fouad, ” to manage the project for a period of 25 years, which in turn contracted with Helnan International Group; hence its international experience, to provide hotel management services for the project.
