Tamer Khedr è stato designato come Managing Director for Egypt Expansion presso Minor Hotels
Minor Hotels, a global hospitality leader with more than 640 properties in operation and under development across 66 countries in Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and the Americas, has appointed Tamer Khedr as Managing Director, Minor Hotels Egypt. The appointment marks an important milestone in the group's long-term growth strategy for one of its most significant emerging markets.
The newly created role reflects Minor Hotels' commitment to establishing a dedicated leadership structure in Egypt as the company accelerates its expansion plans across the country. As Managing Director of Minor Hotels Egypt, Tamer will oversee the group's operations and development activities, supporting portfolio growth while ensuring operational excellence across existing and future properties. Based in Egypt, he will work closely with Minor Hotels' regional leadership team and report into the company's Middle East & Africa regional office in Dubai.
A highly respected hospitality leader with more than two decades of industry experience, Tamer brings extensive expertise across hotel operations, asset management, owner representation and large-scale mixed-use developments. He joins Minor Hotels from DO Hotels, where he served as Chief Executive Officer. Prior to this, he held senior leadership positions including Head of Hospitality and Owner Representative for Emaar Hospitality Group's North Coast developments in Egypt, with an operations background at Emaar Hospitality Group, Baron Palace Sahl Hasheesh, and at Shangri-La Dubai. Throughout his career, he has built a strong reputation for driving business performance, leading complex hospitality operations and delivering exceptional guest experiences.
The appointment comes as Minor Hotels continues to accelerate its expansion in Egypt. Earlier this year, the company announced Anantara Somabay Resort & Residences, marking the debut of its flagship luxury brand in one of the Red Sea's most desirable destinations.
In parallel, Minor Hotels is progressing its strategic growth partnership with SUNRISE Resorts & Cruises, which was established in 2025 and is expected to support the development and operation of up to 50 hotels, resorts and Nile cruise experiences across Egypt over the next decade.
These developments underscore Egypt's growing importance within Minor Hotels' global portfolio and support the company's vision to expand its presence across key tourism and lifestyle destinations throughout the country.
Tamer's appointment further reinforces Minor Hotels' commitment to Egypt as a priority growth market and positions the company for its next phase of expansion across the country.
