Arabic term or phrase: ش.م.م
*شـركة المنتزة/للاستثمارات السياحية والعقارية ش.م.م
Amir
Egyptian Joint Stock Company
Explanation:
It depends on the context. It could be شركة ذات مسئولية محدودة as Randa suggests, in which case her answer applies, namely L.L.C. Although, if British conventions are used, Ltd. would also work.

Moshira's explanation:شركة مساهمة مصرية is more likely since this is a common company type in Egypt. I suggest in this case the translation "Egyptian Join Stock Company" based on Faruqi's Law Dictionary
