ABOUT

ORA Developers Overview

ORA Developers is a globally recognized luxury real estate developer founded by Egyptian-Swiss billionaire Naguib Sawiris — one of the world's most prominent businessmen with a net worth exceeding $3 billion. Established with a vision to create destination communities rather than isolated developments, ORA has delivered landmark projects across Egypt, Cyprus, Greece, the UK, and the UAE. The developer is renowned for transforming underutilized coastlines and urban zones into world-class, self-sustained master communities that combine architectural innovation, sustainability, and high-end lifestyle infrastructure. In the UAE, ORA's flagship project Bayn — a 4.8 million sq m waterfront city on the Ghantoot coastline — cements the developer's position as a serious force in the Gulf's ultra-luxury real estate market.
