- Egyptian authorities transferred custodianship of an undeveloped 375-feddan plot within the company's Sahl Hasheesh project to Mostaqbal Misr.
- The administrative move does not announce a buyer, a new project or a construction timetable, while a separate land dispute is scheduled for court review in December.
Egyptian authorities have transferred custodianship of a 375-feddan plot inside Egyptian Resorts Company's Sahl Hasheesh development to the Mostaqbal Misr for Sustainable Development Authority. The transfer was reported on October 14, 2026, after an official letter was signed by the Tourism Development Authority's chairman.
Hurghada News, citing Al-Masry Al-Youm, said the plot covers about 1.6 square kilometres of unused land south of Hurghada. The letter asked the company to coordinate with Mostaqbal Misr and said the matter would be presented to the authority's board.
Administrative Move, Not A Sale
The transfer changes the public authority responsible for the plot's custodianship. It does not announce a transaction involving Egyptian Resorts Company, a new development, a buyer or a construction schedule. For investors, the immediate significance is therefore linked to control and future planning of undeveloped land rather than booked sales or confirmed project revenue.
Sahl Hasheesh already has more than 6,000 hotel rooms, according to the report, with more than 4,000 additional rooms expected to open in stages. The scale of the resort means decisions over unused parcels can affect the property's longer-term development path, although the transfer itself does not establish when or how that land will be developed.
Separate Court Case Remains Pending
A separate dispute over land for the resort's third phase remains unresolved. Egyptian Resorts Company has previously said that two appeals before the Supreme Administrative Court, concerning the cancellation of preliminary approval for that allocation, were adjourned to December 15, 2026, pending an expert report.
Egyptian Resorts Company Profile
Egyptian Resorts Company describes itself as a master developer of large-scale communities in Egypt. Its stated model combines urban planning with integrated residential, hotel and entertainment destinations, with Sahl Hasheesh as its principal development. The company therefore operates in the intersection of tourism, property development and destination management.
