About Blu Realty
The Founders
Ahmed’s family began developing resorts along Egypt’s Red Sea Riviera in the mid-1990s, laying the foundation for a career that has since spanned more than $1 billion in projects worldwide. In 2007, he founded Blu Realty, later joined by Nermine, to deliver consulting and development for hotels, resorts, and mixed-use destinations. Their U.S. track record includes luxury glamping projects under Terramor Outdoor Resorts (a Kampgrounds of America brand) and the successful predevelopment and sale of Shenandoah North to Post CardCabins (now part of Marriott) for a 7× return. Together, they now channel their expertise into MayaVita, an eco-luxury resort designed to deliver immersive, world-class guest experiences.
