Al Watan

Al Watan is one of the private newspapers that emerged after the January 25 revolution. It is owned by businessman Mohammed Al Amin, the founder of CBC Group. It is estimated that Al Watan distributes about 15,000 copies daily.

In August 2015, Mohamed Al Amin resigned as chairman of Al Watan newspaper, and Abdel Fattah El Gebaly was appointed to the position. Media reports attributed this to an undisclosed deal to sell future Company; in July 2015, E3lam.org website reported that a memorandum of understanding was signed for the sale of Al Amin’s share to businessman Mohammed Wagdi Karrar, who enters the media market in Egypt for the first time.
