Naguib Onsi Sawiris (Arabic: نجيب انسى ساويرس [næˈɡiːb ˈʔonsi sæˈwiːɾɪs]; Coptic: Ⲛⲉⲅⲓⲃ Ⲟⲛⲥⲓ Ⲥⲉⲩⲏⲣⲟⲥ [sæˈwɪɾos]; born 15 June 1954) is an Egyptian businessman.

[8] In September 2015, he offered to buy an island off Greece or Italy to help hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing the Syrian conflict.

[14] In 2023, it was reported that Sawiris is considering an investment in Barrick Gold Corp.'s $7 billion Reko Diq copper-gold project in Pakistan.

The planned new city, located approximately 25km southeast of Baghdad and spanning a total area of 61 million square meters, includes “120,000 different housing units along with green spaces, urban amenities, and smart city technology to apply cutting-edge standards in sustainability and environmental preservation.” The project is named after the Iraqi intellectual Ali Al-Wardi and aims to reduce population pressure on Baghdad.

[19][20] In the early 2000s, Sawiris's Orascom Telecom purchased a majority share in Algerian mobile network operator Djezzy.

In 2012, Sawiris filed a lawsuit against the Algerian government at the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), claiming $4 billion in damages.

He argued that the government had waged a campaign of interference and harassment, ultimately forcing him to sell the company for a much lower price through the merger with VimpelCom.

The dispute came to an end in 2014 when VimpelCom agreed to sell a 51% stake in Djezzy to the Algerian National Investment Fund (FNI) for $2.64 billion.
