Grenada’s exquisite oasis: Silversands

When the Prime Minister of Grenada highlighted the need for a top-notch hotel that would cater to the most discerning travelers, Naguib Sawiris spotted a chance to create something truly extraordinary. With his acute attention to detail and impeccable taste, Sawiris carefully handpicked an immaculate beach location nestled amidst breathtaking mountains. Rejecting the ordinary, he set out to design a hotel that embodies simplicity, minimalism, and pure luxury. The result was Silversands, an architectural masterpiece boasting opulent villas and boutique accommodations that provide an unmatched level of comfort and exclusivity. Every facet of Silversands reflects Sawiris’ unwavering dedication to perfection, from the thoughtfully selected furniture to the meticulously curated collection of artwork.

Ayia Napa Marina - a testament to elegance in Cyprus

Cyprus became the next canvas for Naguib Sawiris’ artistic vision when he invested in the ambitious Ayia Napa Marina project. Despite the challenges posed by a financial crisis, ORA teamed up with a local family, forming a partnership built on shared values of integrity and hard work. The result of their collaboration was a 600-berth marina that defies convention, featuring swirling towers and opulent apartments seamlessly integrated with the stunning coastal environment. Ayia Napa Marina stands as a testament to ORA’s unwavering commitment to creating lasting legacies that not only blend harmoniously with nature but also enhance the local landscape. This project has become an iconic symbol of elegance, blending the art of architectural design with the beauty of the surrounding natural elements.

Embracing Egypt’s rich heritage: ORA Egypt

Driven by a profound sense of pride in his Egyptian roots, Naguib Sawiris embarks on a groundbreaking real estate venture in Egypt, showcasing the country’s rich legacy while embracing modernity. ORA Egypt aspires to become a living testament to Egypt’s timeless beauty, seamlessly fusing ancient traditions with modern opulence. Drawing inspiration from Egypt’s architectural marvels, ORA Egypt promises residents an unparalleled living experience that effortlessly integrates the country’s cultural heritage with modern comforts.

Sustainable city in UAE

ORA’s entrance into the UAE market - in partnership with Q Holding to develop a smart and sustainable city in Ghantoot, Abu Dhabi - is its largest development and first footprint in the UAE region.

It is also the largest real estate development in the history of the UAE’s private sector. ORA envisions Abu Dhabi’s project to be an up-scale, sustainable, and comprehensive city of the future with a total area of 20,000,000 sqm (almost the size of Beirut) which makes ORA the only developer having this size of land in the UAE private sector, targeting both residents and tourists looking for a luxurious live-work-play community.

The waterfront development is located at a unique and central location, on the sandy beach between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, providing the opportunity to create a destination that bridges between both cities.

Pioneering a new lifestyle in Pakistan: Eighteen

Naguib Sawiris is an innovator with a global vision, determined to transform the real estate sector. In Pakistan, he purchased a vast tract of land near the Islamabad airport, envisioning a fresh lifestyle concept for the country. Breaking away from the traditional, ORA boldly opted to develop on only 16% of the property, emphasising low-rise, horizontal structures over towering structures. This audacious venture, named Eighteen, heralds a new era in the real estate industry, setting standards for sustainable and sophisticated living while maximising open spaces. With meticulous attention to detail and a focus on community-building, Eighteen showcases ORA’s visionary approach to creating spaces that foster belonging and enhance residents’ quality of life.
