Haitham Nasser

Hilton Cairo Nile Maadi has named Haitham Nasser as its opening general manager.

Once complete the hotel will bring 257 keys to Cairo, while also offering direct access to the Corniche El Nile and providing views of some of Egypt's ancient heritage sites. It's also expected to house a business centre, meeting rooms, a health club and spa, and a handful of F&B outlets.

Nasser is no stranger to Egyptian hospitality, joining the new property from Hilton Pyramids Golf, and also having a strong track record with the group elsewhere in the country. He has been general manager of Hilton Hurghada Resort and cluster GM of Ramses and World Trade Center properties.

He was once a board member for the Egyptian Hotel Association, a body entrusted to plan specific tasks which will benefit the country's hospitality sector.
