    foreign tourists and a 67% decline in the tourism revenue in Q1 2016
    compared to the same period last year. However, El Gouna's diversified
    market segmentation, limited the magnitude of this industry stance to only
    a 15% decline in its hotels occupancy from 62% in Q1 2015 to 53% in Q1 2016
    and an 11% decline in TRevPAR from EGP 373 in Q1 2015 to EGP 332 in Q1
    2016. We also successfuly opened the new Ancient Sand Hotel in El Gouna, in
    April 2016 with 56 rooms.

    Makadi was still heavily affected by the ongoing Russian travel bans and is
    still operating at 44% of its capacity since Q4 2015. Nevertheless, Orascom
    Hotel Management ran special promotional campaigns of the destination in
    Germany to cope with the decline in demand. These promotions, coupled with
    the profound business cooperation with FTI, the major German tour operator,
    resulted in an 83% increase in the number of German room-nights growing
    from 6,000 in Q1 2015 to more than 11,000 this quarter.

    We continued to implement drastic cost cutting measures in Taba Heights,
    our mostly challenged destination to date given the extended travel bans on
    Sinai by all major European countries. The savings initiatives taken so far
    are expected to generate total cost savings of EGP 27.0 million in FY 2016.
    Furthermore, we centralized all hotel and destination management cost
    centers in Taba, starting from the 1st of March 2016 which is expected to
    promote further operational and cost savings down the road.

    The segment revenues decreased by 29.8% to reach EGP 85.6 million vs. EGP
    121.9 million. TrevPar reached EGP 249 vs EGP 281. Foreign exchange losses
    has negatively impacted our Hotels EBITDA further this year. In Q1 2016,
    the foreign exchange accumulated a total loss of EGP 37.9 million compared
    to a total gain of 4.5 million in Q1 2015.

    Outlook for FY 2016

    Real Estate
    We will continue accelerating the construction activites across the
    launched projects and continue executing on the new development strategy,
    offering a diversified range of products across our destinations. In El
    Gouna, we are capitalizing on the big success of Fanadir Bay project
    launched in April 2016, recording solid sales that are expected to increase
    the value of contracted units in Q2 2016. We will launch new products in
    Fayoum with a total inventory of USD 3.4 million in Q4 2016 and are
    currently studying several opportunities for the first and second home
    markets in Cairo and the North Coast.

    Hotels
    We are finalizing the construction of Byoum hotel in Fayoum, planned to
