MICE: The Bench Launches Future Hospitality Summit Egypt

The Bench has launched Future Hospitality Summit (FHS) Egypt, taking place 10-11 November 2026 at Sofitel Downtown Cairo Nile. FHS Egypt joins The Bench's expanding portfolio of hospitality investment summits, including FHS World (Dubai), FHS Saudi Arabia (Riyadh), FHS Africa (Kenya) and the Branded Residences Forum series across multiple regions.

Under the theme ‘Where Heritage Inspires Investment’, FHS Egypt will convene owners, investors, operators, developers and government leaders to explore the next chapter of hospitality and real estate development in Egypt.

Egypt’s hospitality story is moving fast, supported by infrastructure momentum, tourism incentives and policy reform, and backed by the national agenda of Egypt’s Vision 2030. With a record 19 million tourists welcomed in 2025 and forecasts valuing Egypt’s hospitality sector at $9B by 2034, the market has both demand and runway.

A key driver of this momentum is the rapid rise of branded residences, as leading real estate developers increasingly partner with global hospitality brands to unlock new value across mixed-use and resort destinations, with 45% of high-net-worth investors interested in Egypt’s property market selecting branded residences as a key asset class.

Reflecting this growing demand, branded residences will form a core focus of the FHS Egypt agenda, with dedicated content, expert insights and targeted networking opportunities designed to turn momentum into outcomes.

The action-packed two-day agenda will feature a wide range of topics covering investment, development and operational performance, including sessions focused on Egypt’s investment outlook, mega projects and incentives, smart tourism and digital transformation, sustainability, capital flows and deal structures, and sector growth across lifestyle, leisure, wellness, restaurants and branded residences.

“Egypt’s Vision 2030 is helping unlock a new era of opportunity across tourism and the built environment and hospitality sits at the centre of that growth,” said Matthew Weihs, Growth Director, The Bench. “FHS Egypt is a focused room for senior decision-makers to meet with intent, share market intelligence and progress opportunities, from capital structures and master planning to operations, performance and long-term value.”
