Sallam, who owns a five-percent stake, also founded Minka Development, integral to the company's operations.
Under Sallam, Madinet Masr has achieved significant financial growth. In the first half of 2024, net profits soared 149.4 percent to EGP1.45 billion ($29.54 million), up from EGP584.7 million ($11.91 million) a year earlier.
