Egypt-based property developer Tatweer Misr plans to build 1,000 new hotel rooms in IL Monte Galala, a community project inspired by the starlit mountains of Portofino in Italy, coming up at the Red Sea coastal region of Ain Sokhna, said a report.

IL Monte Galala, spanning over 2.2 million sq m lapping a pristine 1.3 km shoreline, will be home to one of the world’s foremost spas, a first-of-its-kind mountain park, 5-star luxury hotels and a stunningly conceived art zone, as well as a bustling Old Town.

The project offers a world of contemporary living options and branded residences that combine functional beachside simplicity with the highest degree of luxury, reported Amwal Al Ghad, citing a top official.

"These new hotel rooms will be executed after completing IL Monte Galala project which is set to encompass five hotels," stated Ahmed Shalaby, the managing director of Tatweer Misr.

Set over 5 different altitudes and designed with varied communities in mind, each of IL Monte Galala’s distinct zones reflect the unique character and environment of the site, setting it to become an international destination by choice, explained Shalaby.

From villas and elegantly appointed condos to cozy cabanas overlooking 45,000 sq m of crystal clear lagoons, IL Monte Galala offers a world of contemporary living options and branded residences that combine functional beachside simplicity with the highest degree of luxury, he added.
