Destination design firm WATG has been engaged by Egyptian Resorts Company (ERC) to design the detailed master plan for the Sahl Hasheesh International Resort Community - Phase III, a large mixed-use development on the Red Sea in Egypt. Consisting of 4,090 hectares, or 10,106 acres, the development will be comprised of civic centers, a university, schools, a business park, apartments, branded villas and other resort components. It is expected to be the largest resort development in the world.

WATG has a legacy of environmentally sensitive planning, architecture and design. A hallmark of WATG is its awareness to the influences of the local culture, the natural resources, the people and the spirit of the place. From its offices in Irvine, Seattle, Honolulu, Orlando, Singapore and London, WATG has designed hotels and resorts in 160 countries and territories across six continents.
