A vision of a great leader

Led by the visionary businessman Naguib Sawiris, CEO and chairman, ORA has embarked on a journey that has left an indelible mark on the industry. Sawiris' initial contact with Cyprus came at a challenging time for the country when it was in the midst of a financial and banking crisis that made finding investors difficult for even the promising Ayia Napa Marina project. It also shows how having first visited the site, he was also won over by the family values of the project’s local partners, Caramondani Group.

The landmark project, which includes two iconic twisting towers with luxury apartments, has been designed to blend within the beautiful surrounding environment and the crystal waters off the coast of Cyprus. As described by Sawiris, the €300-million-euro project is one that is anticipated to create long-term returns as it provides world-class yachting facilities, a thriving commercial village featuring designer stores and more, fine dining options, an event centre, and much more, all in a secure, well-tended environment.
