Orascom Hotels & Development is proud to be the principal sponsor of "Gifts for the Gods: Images from Egyptian Temples." This groundbreaking exhibition explores the rich civilization and culture of Egypt through the intimate metal statuary that filled its ancient temples.
At Orascom Hotels & Development (OHD), our motto is "Building Belter Towns," and in that light we are committed to upholding the highest standards in everything we do for our customers, shareholders, associates, and communities. With a land bank of more than 118 million square meters, OHD is a global town developer that specializes in planning, building, and operating integrated, self-sufficient leisure and residential towns around the world, complete with top-quality hotels, emerald golf courses, marinas, groomed beaches, and fully integrated amenities and services. The crossroad icon in the OHD logo, which derives from the Egyptian hieroglyph for "town," represents our vision to develop Orascom towns worldwide.
OHD's flagship project, El Gouna, a complete resort town on the coast of the Red Sea, began as a simple real estate project and evolved into a fully self-sufficient town with a strong infrastructure and established reputation. The success of El Gouna served as a business model for OHD as we expanded our operations internationally and broadened the scope of our development. The company is now active in Egypt, Oman, Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Switzerland, Mauritius, and Morocco, with plans to enter additional countries, and with active partnerships with the best contractors and the best international hotel operators in the world.
In supporting this exhibition, OHD hopes that all visitors to The Metropolitan Museum of Art will be rewarded with an appreciation of Egypt's rich cultural traditions and a new understanding of this ancient civilization.
