P42 DISTRICT 5New Katameya’s first mixed-use development “DISTRICT 5” featuring Mall of Katameya and District Five Residences.

For our second quarterly newsletter, I’d like to take this opportunity to announce that MARAKEZ won the Cityscape Award for Best Built Commercial Project in Egypt for the company’s flagship development ‘Mall of Arabia Phase II’, also known as “The Expansion”.

Besides “The Expansion” and Cairo, we’re expanding quite literally beyond the city to meet the needs of areas that have been underserved yet have significant economic potential. We’re pleased to announce that we are currently in the final development phase of the first world-standard mall in all of Egypt’s secondary governorates with Mall of Tanta. This first-of-its-kind mall in the area will serve the 6 million residents of the Gharbeya governorate. Due to open in August, the mall will include an entertainment hub featuring the first multi-screen cinema in the Delta region, children’s indoor entertainment area, a hyper market and around 100 retail outlets to satisfy the needs of the entire family.

In addition, we have recently acquired a 47-acre plot of land from the Internal Trade Development Authority (ITDA) in the governorate of Dakahlia with plans to develop a new world-standard commercial mall in Mansoura City that will serve as a regional retail, dining and entertainment hub for approximately seven million residents.  

As for our residential projects, we will be delivering AEON Courtyards a full six months ahead of schedule in

Q4 2019. Strategically located in the heart of West Cairo with easy access to main roads and highways, our first residential project ‘AEON ‘represents a new and compelling living experience, accentuated by a diverse range of services and facilities to achieve an optimal balance between the comfort and tranquility of suburban life and excitement of modern living. We look forward to welcoming AEON’s first homeowners.

Thank you again for your trust in MARAKEZ. Enjoy reading our second issue of the newsletter and we look forward to seeing you at our facilities.

digits growth. Badr took pride in the unique selling proposition of LC Waikiki being the brand that brings everything under one roof for all family members, aligning with their motto of ‘EVERYONE DESERVES TO DRESS WELL’. They believe that having quality products at affordable prices that serve all family members with good customer service is what LC Waikiki brings to the market with excellence. For that reason, the brand wants to reach its customers in Zagazig, Tanta, Mansoura, Assiut and Ismailia along with Cairo, Alexandria and Hurghada. On a more regional scale, the brand is currently penetrating new markets in Congo, Kenya and South Africa to reach a wider market.

With their aligned vision, LC Waikiki hopes to continue being a strategical partner to MARAKEZ for a more successful cooperation and healthy partnerships for both company’s future endeavors.

OUR INTERVIEW WITHLC WAIKIKI’S COUNTRY MANAGER

10 | MARAKEZ Newsletter | Issue # 2 Issue # 2 | MARAKEZ Newsletter | 11

We got the chance to chat with Mohamed Badr, LC Waikiki’s Egypt Country Manager, to get some insights on the development and expansion of the brand after its solid collaboration with MARAKEZ. With a new store opening in our new mall of Tanta, it was important for us to hear what brands look for and consider when big business opportunities present themselves.

With expertise in running 24 active stores in Egypt, LC Waikiki is excited to open their second store in the Mall of Tanta, making it their 25th store in Egypt. They believe a successful mall is a catalyst to a successful store and vice versa. Badr explained how LC Waikiki is eager about being a part of MARAKEZ’s expansion in the new Mall of Mansoura, as a store’s location is a crucial factor to a brand’s success in exposure and sales. A store should be in the mainstream of the shopping mall for great visibility and accessibility. Without a doubt, they believe the store layout should be comfortable and appealing to visitors to maintain the traffic coming in.

The LC Waikiki team had a positive outlook on the Egyptian retail market, considering it to be a stable market with two

After the CIB PSA World Championship held at Mall of Arabia, we had a little chat with the world’s #1 champion, Ali Farag. Farag has played over 85 tournaments and won 17 titles steadily.

“The tournament was special on so many fronts. Let alone playing in Egypt amongst your beloved home crowd”, he said. “Being amongst the top eight players of the world is something I’m very proud of” he added. He believes it wouldn’t have been possible without the undeniable support of his wife Nour El Tayeb, his coaches, elder brothers, parents, his mentor Karim Darwish and his sponsors. “It is Wael, my elder brother who was the main catalyst for my success.”, he added. At age 16, Farag decided to quit squash after facing difficulties juggling between his IGCSE exams and his beloved sport. His brother Wael kept him going, stood by his side and became his coach.

“The cheering voices of the fans help me turn a losing game into a gain and eventually winning” he said. Farag considers every moment he participates in is a blessing and a prestigious moment because he knows how many people have worked hard to get him to where he is today. Like all winners who have mastered the art of humility and grace in victory, Farag admitted that he loves learning as it motivates him to utilize his capabilities and continue to get better. He believes the true essence of success is to fall in love with the game. “Embrace every moment and know that there will be rough times.”, he said hoping to make that message resonate with young players and also make a difference in the sport that goes beyond getting medals and winning championships.

Cairo has the biggest squash fan base in Egypt.” When asked about the reason why he chose The Park he stressed on the importance of its accessibility to everyone. “This is why we chose Mall of Arabia, one of the biggest mega malls in Cairo. ”

“The Park is a new concept in Egypt. It includes some of the best restaurants in town as well as a jogging track and lots of greenery. Any athlete would love to spend time there. This being said, “Squash at The Park” was the perfect slogan for the tournament”
