No one would have ever believed that the young man Enan Galaly, who had left his native country Egypt at the age of 20, with just 10 sterling pounds in his pocket, and with hardly any education or any qualifications, but only driven by his ambition, would later become, after long years of hard work, the Founder and President of Helnan Hotels. In addition, he has also achieved the position of Chairman of the Advisory Council of the International Association for University Presidents, further to aquiring multiple prestigious posts as Denmark’s Historical Relation Ambassador for the Middle East.
Galaly’s achievements have been highly recognized by Her Majesty Queen Margrete II of Denmark who has signed an official Royal decree bestowing on Enan Galaly one of the highest titles in Denmark, Knight 1st Class.
