Egyptian authorities are advancing plans to promote investment in Galala City, focusing on projects along the Red Sea. The General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) said preparations for the new investment plan are nearly complete following a site inspection.
During the visit, GAFI CEO Hossam Heba toured Galala City with the Assistant Head of the Armed Forces Land Projects Authority for Development and Projects. The inspection reviewed the city’s current development and confirmed the projects to be presented to investors.
Galala City spans 17,150 acres from sea level to approximately 800 metres in elevation. Mountain roads and a cable car link the higher and lower areas, providing access across the site.
The city’s projects are listed as a priority on Egypt’s investment map and are planned to be highlighted during upcoming promotional visits abroad, particularly in the Gulf and East Asia.
The projects include a yacht marina, a coastal hotel, a waterpark, Galala Hospital, a residential district, Downtown Avenue and the main service axis, two resorts, the Galala Mountain Hotel, the Royal Compound and Galala Heights Resort. Investment options cover public-private partnerships, usufruct arrangements, ownership and management or operational models.
The planned yacht marina is expected to accommodate up to 600 vessels. It will have hotel facilities, administrative areas and commercial spaces to support long-term activity in the city.
Infrastructure such as roads, water pumping stations, electricity networks and sewage systems has already been completed. Key facilities, including a hospital, a university and staff housing, are also in place.
