The construction of the Al-Ahram Club in New Cairo is nearing its final stages, with an expected opening date in June 2027. The project, which began three years ago, has been inspected by Abdel Sadek El Shorbagy, head of the National Press Authority. El Shorbagy, accompanied by key figures from the institution, including Mohamed Fayez Farhat, chairman of Al-Ahram's board of directors, assessed the progress of the infrastructure development.
The Al-Ahram Club project was initiated during the tenure of Abdel Mohsen Salama, predecessor of El Shorbagy, and has been successfully executed by the teams in charge and the real estate development company, Care. The club is being built in Al-Tagamoe Al-Khamess, New Cairo, and is expected to offer state-of-the-art facilities to its members. Once completed, the club will provide a range of amenities and services to the public.
A comprehensive communication strategy is being prepared to promote the new sports complex. Following the inspection, the management confirmed that a large-scale campaign will be launched to publicize the club's opening and facilities. The campaign aims to attract members and promote the club's activities and services. The communication strategy will be implemented once the final touches are added to the club.
Al-Ahram, the parent organization of the club, is one of Egypt's oldest and most respected press institutions. Founded in 1875 by Lebanese brothers Takla, Al-Ahram is the oldest press institution in Egypt and the Arab world, publishing the renowned daily newspaper of the same name. With a rich history spanning over 145 years, Al-Ahram continues to play a significant role in Egyptian journalism.
The National Press Authority's inspection of the Al-Ahram Club included a review of the project's progress and a discussion of the plans for its launch.
