Gewan Hotels & Resorts has promoted Moutaz Nazzal from Group Director of Hotel Operations to Deputy Chief Executive Officer, effective September 2026.
The appointment expands his leadership responsibilities
across the Group’s hotel portfolio in the UAE and Egypt.
Part of NG9 Holding and headquartered in Abu Dhabi, Gewan
Hotels & Resorts is a homegrown UAE hospitality group with a growing
presence across the UAE and Egypt, alongside plans for further expansion across
the wider MENA region.
Nazzal brings 20 years of hospitality management experience
spanning hotel operations, leadership, commercial performance and guest
experience.
Since joining Gewan, he has focused on strengthening
operational standards, quality assurance and performance oversight across the
Group’s properties.
In his new role, Nazzal will take on a broader strategic,
commercial, financial and operational remit.
He will oversee portfolio performance, support the Group’s
commercial priorities and work closely with leadership teams across its
existing hotels and operations.
The promotion also positions Nazzal to support Gewan Hotels
& Resorts’ future growth strategy as the Group explores expansion
opportunities in its existing markets and the wider region.
Amro Talaat, Chief Executive Officer UAE & Egypt, said:
“Moutaz has made a significant contribution to Gewan, particularly in
strengthening our hotel operations and bringing greater consistency across the
portfolio. His promotion recognises both that contribution and the broader
leadership role he has taken on within the business. As we develop our
portfolio in the UAE and Egypt and look towards future opportunities, his
experience and understanding of our operations will be important to Gewan’s
continued growth.”
Nazzal said: “I am proud to take on this new role and the
opportunity to contribute more broadly to Gewan’s development. My priority will
be to work closely with our teams to build on the strengths of our existing
properties, maintain high operational standards, and continue to deliver the
quality and experience our guests expect.” -TTN
