Having previously served as Director of Rooms, and now promoted to Resort Manager at Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, Tamer Hussein is now responsible for the entire Resort's operations, ensuring a seamless guest experience across all divisions, including Food & Beverage, Spa, Recreation and Housekeeping. His role is pivotal in upholding the Four Seasons’ reputation for exceptional service while also innovating to meet the evolving expectations of luxury travelers.

“As Resort Manager, my responsibility goes beyond overseeing operations - it’s about creating an unforgettable experience for every guest, from their first step into the resort to their final farewell,” Tamer explains. “It’s about ensuring that every detail aligns with the highest standards of luxury.”

One of the key aspects of Tamer's leadership is his hands-on approach. Whether it’s working alongside the teams on the floor or personally greeting guests, he believes in leading by example. "If I ask the managers to be visible and engaged with guests, I have to be out there too," he says.

His experience managing the Rooms Division during his previous period gave him unique insight into guest expectations and how to fine-tune operations to enhance satisfaction. Now, as Resort Manager, he oversees a team of over 800 employees across all departments, ensuring that every guest enjoys the perfect blend of personalized service and world-class amenities. “I’m fortunate to work with a talented team, and I make it a priority to connect with them individually. Everyone, from the most senior managers to our junior colleagues, plays a vital role in delivering the Four Seasons experience.”

Tamer is also an active member of the resort’s Planning Committee, collaborating with leaders across all areas to align departmental strategies with the resort’s broader goals. “Being part of the Planning Committee has been invaluable. We all contribute ideas to better serve our guests, and the collaboration helps us constantly improve.”

Born and raised in Cairo, Tamer’s journey into hospitality was unexpected. He began his career as a sales engineer before transitioning to the hotel industry, where he discovered his true passion. His career has spanned several five-star properties across Egypt and the UAE, culminating in his leadership role at one of Egypt’s premier luxury resorts.

When not managing the day-to-day operations of the resort, Tamer enjoys spending time with his family, including his two young children. His friends, many of whom are in the industry, still make time for regular video game sessions, a tradition that keeps him connected to his Cairo roots.
