Nobu has officially opened its first property in Egypt, introducing Nobu’s renowned fine dining and design-led hospitality to the country’s Mediterranean coastline for the first time.
The restaurant has been designed by the Rockwell Group, the internationally known architecture and design firm behind many of Nobu’s global venues. Drawing from Mediterranean influences and Nobu’s hallmark aesthetic, the space features natural textures, light woods, and refined geometric detailing to create a setting that is both elevated and in harmony with the coastal surroundings.
According to SODIC’s General Manager, Ayman Amer, “The arrival of Nobu at OGAMI marks a transformative moment for the North Coast. This partnership reflects our commitment to curating world-class experiences and introducing global icons to Egypt in a way that feels both thoughtful and distinctly local.”
The venue will host a calendar of curated events and cultural activations throughout the summer, bringing Nobu’s global spirit to life on the Egyptian coast.
The opening is the first phase of a broader collaboration between SODIC and Nobu. Future plans include the launch of Nobu Residences and Nobu Hotel at OGAMI, extending the brand’s signature approach to residential living and hospitality. These projects will form part of OGAMI’s 440-acre development, which integrates Japanese minimalism with Mediterranean design. OGAMI was recently named “Master Plan of the Year” at the 2025 Architecture Leaders Awards by Design Middle East.
Beyond the North Coast, SODIC intends to expand the Nobu brand into its developments in The Estates and Eastown District New Cairo (EDNC), reinforcing its strategy to elevate luxury living across key locations in Egypt.
Nobu’s entry into the Egyptian market is part of its global growth, which includes 57 restaurants, 46 hotels, and 20 residences worldwide. The brand was co-founded by Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro, and Meir Teper.
