Egyptian Riverside Elegance at the New Hilton Cairo Nile Maadi
If there's one thing that never gets old, it's a stunning Nile view—and the new Hilton Cairo Nile Maadi has a front-row seat.
Right on the corniche of Cairo's upscale area of Maadi, on the banks of one of the most legendary rivers in the world, the newly-opened 255-key hotel offers sweeping views of the historic city below and the Pyramids of Giza beyond.
Paying tribute to the rich history that once glided along the ancient river, the hotel's contemporary interiors feature ancient Egyptian motifs, locally inspired artworks, and a striking lobby centerpiece—an installation of draped white cloth suspended from the ceiling, a nod to the iconic Nile felucca.
'Hilton has a strong legacy in Egypt, where we have operated for more than 60 years,' Guy Hutchinson—President, MEA at Hilton—tells SceneTraveller. 'The opening of Hilton Cairo Nile Maadi is just one exciting step towards our plan of tripling our portfolio in the country.'
Just minutes away from the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, Hilton Cairo Nile Maadi, which was developed by Saudi Egyptian Developers, serves up four restaurants and bars that take guests on a journey of delectable flavours—from Levantine delicacies at Dayma to international favourites at the Nile-facing O'Nile Restaurant, where you can linger for hours, watching the city hum and the river flow. For a more laid-back experience, Tonic Pool Bar & Restaurant stands ready to serve some casual bites.
Beyond the culinary, the hotel also features six meeting rooms capable of hosting up to 500 guests, a state-of-the-art fitness center, where you can run as you admire the views, and, most excitingly, the first ever eforea Spa in Egypt. Here, you can find targeted treatments, full-body therapies, and ancient healing practices, such as cupping and massages that incorporate warm sand.
'From reliable and friendly service and state-of-the-art amenities to compelling dining options and breathtaking views, we look forward to welcoming guests to a memorable stay at our outstanding property,' Haitham Nassar, General Manager of Hilton Cairo Nile Maadi, shares with SceneTraveller. 'We take a lot of pride in our newest hotel in Cairo and look forward to welcoming visitors to experience everything the city has to offer.'
And, if you're looking for even more perks, Hilton Honors members can get their hands on exclusive discounts, opt for contactless check-in, and earn points for future stays, so you can easily come back, and experience all the Nile-side lavishness Hilton Cairo Nile Maadi has to offer.

Egyptalum signs agreement with Scatec to develop solar power plant in Nagaa Hammadi
Minister of Public Enterprises Sector Mohamed Shimi met with Norway's Ambassador to Egypt and Libya, Hilde Klemetsdal, and her accompanying delegation at the ministry's headquarters in the New Administrative Capital, as part of efforts to strengthen bilateral cooperation in renewable energy. During the meeting, the minister and ambassador witnessed the signing of an agreement between Egyptalum — a subsidiary of the Metallurgical Industries Holding Company — and a newly established project company affiliated with Norwegian renewable energy firm Scatec. The agreement marks the official launch of a solar power project to supply clean electricity to Egyptalum's aluminum complex in Nagaa Hammadi. The solar power plant, with a total capacity of 1,000 megawatt-hours, will be implemented over 24 months in two consecutive phases, each generating 500 megawatt-hours. The project will also include the installation of battery storage systems with a total capacity of up to 200 megawatts. With an estimated total investment of approximately $650 million, the project will be fully financed, built, and operated by Scatec under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The plant will supply a significant share of Egyptalum's energy needs, reducing dependence on conventional power sources. Minister Shimi welcomed Ambassador Klemetsdal at the outset of the meeting and emphasized the importance of the strategic partnership between Egypt and Norway, particularly in the fields of green transition and clean energy. He expressed his hope for further cooperation with leading Norwegian companies, given Norway's global expertise in renewable energy and environmental technologies. He described the project as a major milestone for Egypt's aluminum industry, aligning with the state's strategy to expand renewable energy use and the political leadership's directives to promote environmental sustainability and improve resource efficiency. Shimi noted that the project exemplifies successful cooperation between the public and private sectors and international investors. Key objectives include reducing operational costs at the aluminum complex, boosting production efficiency, enhancing the competitiveness of Egyptian exports, cutting traditional energy use and carbon emissions, and meeting international sustainability standards. He added that these goals will enable Egyptalum to strengthen its position in global markets, where it already exports more than 50% of its production—primarily to the European Union. The minister also highlighted that the partnership with Scatec reflects international investors' growing confidence in the Egyptian market and their willingness to contribute to major national projects that deliver both environmental and economic value. He reaffirmed the Ministry's full support for partnerships with both domestic and international private sector players. Ambassador Klemetsdal praised the strength of Egyptian-Norwegian relations and described the solar project as a model of productive cooperation between the two nations. She stressed that the initiative supports Egypt's clean energy transition and reflects the growing interest of Norwegian companies in the Egyptian market, especially in key sectors such as renewable energy.

CBE instructs banks to support exporters in meeting global environmental standards
The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) has issued a directive requiring banks to support their exporting clients in meeting global environmental and sustainability standards during the production of goods intended for export. These standards include compliance with the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), a key policy adopted by the European Union and the United Kingdom. The CBAM seeks to align carbon emissions from industrial production with emissions benchmarks in these markets, ensuring fair competition and supporting global climate goals. This alignment is expected to facilitate the continued access of Egyptian exports to EU and UK markets. Under the new directive, banks are required to submit to the CBE a list of their exporting clients. This measure serves as a proactive step to enhance financial sector resilience and mitigate potential risks linked to the implementation of CBAM regulations in major export destinations. The CBE's instruction also supports the broader transition of bank clients toward producing environmentally compliant goods that meet global standards. This is seen as a key pillar in Egypt's strategy to expand its exports, diversify market access, and foster sustainable economic development.

Egypt to issue EGP 2.36trn in local debt instruments in Q1 of FY2025/2026
The Egyptian government plans to issue EGP 2.36trn in local debt instruments during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025/2026 to cover maturing obligations and finance the state budget deficit. According to figures released by the Ministry of Finance, the plan includes 56 treasury bill (T-bill) auctions worth EGP 2.05trn and 47 bond auctions totalling EGP 308.5bn between July and the end of September. The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE), which conducts the issuances on behalf of the government, will offer T-bills and bonds worth EGP 850.5bn in July, EGP 670bn in August, and EGP 838bn in September. As part of the quarterly plan, the Ministry will issue 91-day T-bills worth EGP 340bn, 182-day bills worth EGP 520bn, 273-day bills worth EGP 525bn, and 364-day bills worth EGP 665bn. On the bond side, scheduled offerings include EGP 77bn in two-year bonds, EGP 169bn in three-year bonds, and EGP 43bn in floating-rate bonds of the same tenor. The Ministry will also issue EGP 10bn in five-year bonds and EGP 9.5bn in floating-rate five-year instruments. Banks operating in the Egyptian market remain the largest investors in government-issued T-bills and bonds, which are a key tool for financing the budget deficit. These debt instruments are issued through 15 banks within the primary dealers system, which also allows them to trade the securities on the secondary market to both local and foreign institutional and individual investors. Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly reaffirmed the government's ongoing efforts to reduce public debt, noting that Egypt has achieved primary budget surpluses for five consecutive years, including a 3.5 percent surplus of GDP in the current fiscal year. He said these efforts, along with other fiscal measures, helped bring down the debt-to-GDP ratio from 96 percent in June 2023 to approximately 90 percent in June 2024. The government aims to further reduce this ratio to 86 percent by the end of FY2024/2025. Madbouly emphasised that Egypt is committed to sustaining the downward trajectory of public debt in the years ahead.
