Egyptian property developer Tatweer Misr was awarded top Mediterranean Resort under development by The Mediterranean Resort and Hotel Real Estate Forum. The award recognises outstanding mixed-use resorts and developments showcasing dedication, innovation and expertise in tourism and hospitality across the Mediterranean region. The shortlisted finalists are judged by some of the most respected and experienced names in the industry and the winner is selected through public vote. A nomination is a recognition of the nominee's dedication to furthering tourism across the Mediterranean through industry leading design, guest amenities and services. Tatweer Misr is the first Egyptian Developer to achieve this award which was granted last year to Club Med in Marbella, Spain. Commenting on the award Shalaby, Tatweer Misr CEO and Managing Director said "We are extremely proud to be recognized for the pioneering work we are currently undertaking in Fouka Bay. Being recognised as best in class, amongst such an illustrious group in the Mediterranean region, is an incredible achievement and we are delighted to have achieved this recognition. Notable is that this recognition follows Tatweer Misr's impressive performance at the Cityscape Awards, where it won the best in class in the category Residential Low Rise Future projects in all the emerging markets for its flagship project Il Monte Galala in Sokhna. The MR&H awards recognise outstanding mixed-use resorts and developments across the Mediterranean region in two categories under development and operating.
