The United Arab Emirates agreed to invest $35 billion in Egypt, a breakthrough in Cairo’s efforts to end its worst foreign-exchange crisis in decades.

The plans include developing a premium area on the North African nation’s Mediterranean coast known as Ras El-Hekma — a project Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly described as the biggest deal in his country’s history.
