In July 2003, SUNRISE Resorts & Cruises has been founded by Hossam Gouda El Shaer, businessman with a long touristic experience in Egypt. During the years SUNRISE Resorts & Cruises developed to be one of the leading hotel cooperation in Egypt. The target is to create a high quality product for the fast growing tourism market in Egypt, which fulfills the international guests’ requirements. Additionally, SUNRISE Resorts & Cruises is the hotel management company of Festival Hotels & Resorts and SENTIDO Hotels & Resorts.
The SUNRISE philosophy is based on three main pillars:
Quality, hygiene and environmental protection.
Our own quality department guarantees a constant high standard by conducting for example a monthly control incl. guest interviews and mystery-guest visits, complaint management and regular employee trainings. As well we are working together with “Cristal Middle East”, an international company based in England, which is controlling our Resorts and Cruises on a monthly basis to ensure a constantly high hygienic level. In addition to that, cooperation with “Travel Life” has been formed in order for our Resorts and Cruises to efficiently protect the environment. This includes for example measures to save energy and water or waste separation.

Cosmopolitan, hospitable, individual, open minded, the personalized service and the exquisite culinary cuisine - all this characterizes our own and managed Resorts & Cruises and will be our main concern for any further development of our company.
