In early 2006 Faldo Design was selected to create a 27 hole ‘desert oasis’ styled golf course over spectacular duneland on the outskirts of Cairo.
Sir Nick Faldo's thoughts
“I’m delighted to be working on what is our first design project in Egypt – indeed our first in North Africa. It is a wonderful site and there is a really special atmosphere about the place – the sense of history is almost tangible. I’m confident that, once completed, this 27 hole facility will go on to be recognised as one of the very finest in the region. What I feel that I can especially bring to the project is a certain level of strategic insight that will help to define and colour the golfer’s experience. The courses I design are very much aimed at the thoughtful, imaginative golfer, and it is precisely these players that will get the most out of playing at Katameya Dunes."

Which ever combination you decide to play you’re in for a real treat. The Lakes Course is over 7400 yards with The Palms Course slightly shorter at 7300 yards, obviously both these measurements are taken from the back tees which in our opinion should be reserved strictly for the professionals! Thankfully there are plenty of different tee positions to choose from so we would advise picking carefully as the design of the course provides enough challenges. Sculpted fairways, water, bunkers and gently undulating greens all play a key role in making this course so special, combine this with the beautiful condition of the course and Katameya Dunes becomes a must play on your next golf holiday to Egypt. Open for play January 2011.
