In a landmark event that highlights its continued commitment to sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, Tatweer Misr - one of Egypt’s leading real estate developers - hosted the country’s first-ever shore fishing championship at its flagship project, IL Monte Galala, Ain Sokhna.
Held under the patronage of the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the Ministry of Environment,
the championship embodies Tatweer Misr’s comprehensive strategy to embed environmental
and sporting initiatives within its project operations. It also represents a key part of the
company’s vision to transform IL Monte Galala into a vibrant, year-round destination that
seamlessly blends nature, community, and culture, anchored by innovation and sustainability.
The event was organized in collaboration with Ethical Anglers, a company specializing in large-
scale marine sporting events and International Game Fish Association (IGFA), and in partnership
with the Egyptian Sport Fishing Federation. It welcomed over 50 amateur and professional
anglers from across Egypt and various Arab countries in a unique, first-of-its-kind sustainable
fishing competition in the region.
Through this initiative, Tatweer Misr aims to promote environmental awareness and emphasize
the importance of responsible fishing practices and marine conservation, aligning with Egypt’s
national efforts to support eco-tourism and advance the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
IL Monte Galala’s scenic shoreline served as a dynamic backdrop for the championship, offering
an immersive experience for participants and visitors alike. The event attracted a strong media
and public presence, creating an atmosphere that celebrated both the sport and Egypt’s rich
natural heritage.
Hosting this championship at IL Monte Galala aligns with Tatweer Misr’s long-term vision to
create Sustainable smart urban communities, where sustainable design, advanced
infrastructure, and social impact come together to shape a new standard in real estate
development.
This tournament also builds on Egypt’s growing presence in the marine sports arena. Recent
milestones include the Gouna International Fishing Tournament, held earlier this year with
participation from nine countries across three continents, and the annual Egypt Cup Fishing
Tournament, which takes place every October.
Notably, Ethical Anglers - the event’s organizing partner - has previously organized the Jebel
Sifah International Fishing Tournament in Oman and is currently preparing to launch the Fishing
World Cup, set to take place in Egypt for the first time in 2028. This further reinforces Egypt’s
rising profile as a regional hub for environmentally focused sporting events.
Through this initiative, Tatweer Misr reaffirms its role as a key private sector partner in
supporting national development objectives, while continuing to create destinations that not
only meet global real estate standards but also contribute meaningfully to the environment,
community well-being, and economic growth.
