Al Alamein Hotel

Mohamed Alabbar has never been one to stand still and in just one week in July he proved this point once again. Emaar Malls appointed a new, digitally focussed CEO; Emaar Properties said it will sell hotels, clinics and schools as it looks to raise $1.4 billion in funds through the sale of non-core assets; Emaar Hospitality announced the reopening of the historic Al Alamein Hotel in Egypt after an $84m major facelift to make it among the finest resorts along the Mediterranean.
