Nadia Rashad, Egyptian, born in Cairo, graduated from The Faculty of Arts after finishing her studies in St. Claire’s College.

In the early 70’s, she started collaboration with Mr & Mrs Michel Chalhoub, founders of the Chalhoub Group, at a brand representation level, dealing exclusively in Duty Free.

Following the evolution of the market, the activity diversified into the luxury distribution & retail business, leading Nadia to set up the Egyptian company MAC, with a clear direction to be the market leader in the local market.

Focused on details and perfection, she has always succeeded to reflect the group identity & philosophy as brand builders.

With her wealth of experience in Travel Retail Business, and her challenging spirit, Cairo Airport Duty Free was set up, which today successfully operates in Terminals 1 & 3 at Cairo International Airport.

The group has further developed its duty free activities, which have been extended to Al Alamein International Airport, on the north coast of Egypt.

Today Nadia Rashad is MAC Country Manager, managing both local and travel retail operations in Egypt. A team of more than 500 professional and efficient employees are working for the development of all activities of the business.
