The dual signing for the 390-room Hilton Giza Pyramids, located in an exclusive residential and commercial district South of Cairo, and the 195-room Hilton Alexandria King's Ranch Resort, situated 40 kilometers West of Alexandria, represent the 19th and 20th Hilton Worldwide properties to open in Egypt.

"Hilton Worldwide has proudly served Egypt for over 50 years and (the July 2) announcement is testament to our commitment and confidence in the country," Rudi Jagersbacher, president, Hilton Worldwide, Middle East & Africa was quoted as saying. "The two signings will add significant value to our current, extensive network of hotels and reaffirm our position as the country's foremost hospitality company."

Hilton Giza Pyramids, which is set to be Hilton Worldwide's sixth property in the capital, will command panoramic views of Egypt's greatest tourist attractions including the world famous heritage sites of the Pyramids and the Sphinx.  The hotel's 390 rooms include 18 suites and the property will feature a wealth of facilities and conveniences designed to appeal equally to both the business and leisure traveler.
