Taj Expands to Egypt: IHCL Signs 300-Key Cairo Hotel at Historic Opera Square

has signed for its first Taj property in Egypt—a 300-room hotel at Cairo’s Opera Square—marking the Tata Group’s entry into North Africa’s largest tourism market. The deal with state-owned Egyptian General Company for Tourism & Hotels (EGOTH) will transform a landmark site into a luxury hub with dining, wellness, and banqueting facilities. Located at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, Cairo offers Taj a gateway for MICE, leisure, and business travel, aligning with IHCL’s strategy of targeting high-potential global cities. EGOTH retains ownership while IHCL manages operations, blending heritage preservation with modern standards to revitalise a key tourism asset. For IHCL, this adds to its international portfolio momentum, leveraging the Taj brand’s premium positioning without heavy capex, and taps into Egypt’s post-pandemic tourism rebound.
