- Wadi Kom Ombo Land Reclamation S.A.E. is an Egypt-based public shareholding company engaged in land reclamation, civil engineering, agricultural development, and infrastructure contracting. Founded in 1904 and headquartered in Cairo, Egypt, the company operates as a key subsidiary of the state-owned Holding Company for Land Reclamation and Groundwater Research, which holds an approximate 90 percent equity stake. The company specializes in transforming arid and desert regions into arable agricultural land while executing civil and utility infrastructure projects across Upper Egypt, the Nile Delta, and national desert development corridors, with international operations extending to North Africa through its subsidiary, Wadi Kom Ombo for General Contracting in Libya.
The company operates across civil engineering, irrigation, agricultural development, and real estate management segments. Its core products and services include: desert land grading, leveling, and soil remediation; design, construction, and maintenance of surface and pressurized irrigation networks; excavation, lining, and clearing of water conveyance channels, drainage canals, and reservoirs; drilling, development, and equipping of deep and shallow groundwater wells; construction of primary water pumping stations, lifting plants, and associated power stations; paving of rural roads, agricultural transport routes, and culvert bridges; turnkey construction of residential villages, administrative complexes, and utility networks in newly reclaimed regions; and the acquisition, subdivision, leasing, and public auctioning of agricultural, industrial, and residential land plots. The company primarily serves government ministries, agricultural development authorities, public sector enterprises, and commercial farming corporations.
In recent operational developments, Wadi Kom Ombo Land Reclamation has maintained active execution of its asset monetization and liquidity enhancement strategy, organizing public land auctions across its property portfolios in Kom Ombo and the West Delta to optimize non-core real estate holdings. The company continues to participate in major state-sponsored land reclamation, canal rehabilitation, and agricultural infrastructure tenders in Upper Egypt and the Toshka region. Furthermore, the company has updated its corporate governance and Environmental, Social, and Governance disclosures in accordance with Egyptian Exchange listing standards, alongside holding ordinary and annual general meetings in 2025 and 2026 to approve contracting pipelines, asset disposition frameworks, and operational budgets.
