North Coast Egypt —
Your Complete 2026 Guide
From Marassi to Ras El Hekma — the best projects, smartest areas, and investment opportunities on Egypt's most sought-after coastline.
Egypt's Most Coveted Coastal Destination
Egypt's North Coast — locally known as El Sahel — stretches over 650 km along the Mediterranean Sea, from Alexandria westward to Marsa Matrouh. The most active real estate and tourism belt runs between Alexandria and Marsa Matrouh, with key hotspots concentrated from km 60 all the way to km 300+.
Once a purely seasonal escape, the North Coast has undergone a dramatic transformation. Fueled by over $70 billion in government and private investment, the region is rapidly evolving into a year-round destination for living, tourism, and smart real estate investment. New infrastructure — including the Fouka Road that cut Cairo travel time to just 2 hours — has made it more accessible than ever before.
"Investment returns on the North Coast range between 25%–35% annually in new projects — among the highest in Egypt's real estate market." — SeekEstate Research, 2026
Whether you're looking for a summer chalet, a rental income asset, or a long-term investment with strong capital appreciation — the North Coast delivers across every category.
Talk to an Expert →Why the North Coast Is Egypt's #1 Investment
Six reasons why savvy investors and families consistently choose El Sahel over every other market in Egypt.
Strong Capital Appreciation
Villa prices rose 15.8% year-on-year recently. New zones like Ras El Hekma are seeing some of the fastest price increases in Egypt due to land scarcity and high demand.
Premium Rental Income
Seasonal rentals on the North Coast generate up to 20% annual yield — a rate unmatched by most other real estate asset classes in Egypt.
World-Class Infrastructure
The Fouka Road slashed Cairo travel time to just 2 hours. New airports, marinas, and highways continue to connect the coast to Egypt's major cities.
Year-Round Living
New Alamein City now offers universities, government offices, and business districts — transforming the coast from a summer escape into a permanent address.
Foreign Investment Surge
Gulf nations have invested $59 billion in Egypt since 2021. Half of high-net-worth Gulf individuals are actively looking for holiday homes on Egypt's North Coast.
Flexible Payment Plans
Developers offer installments from 5% down payment up to 12 years — making premium coastal ownership accessible to a wide range of buyers and investors.

Pick a Growing Location
Focus on areas with rising demand like Ras El Hekma and New Alamein. Early-stage projects in growing corridors offer the strongest capital appreciation.
Check the Developer's Track Record
Stick to developers who have delivered on time before. Sovereign-backed projects (like Modon/ADQ) and established names (SODIC, TMG) carry lower risk.
Think Rental-First
Choose units that are easy to rent out: close to the beach, with private amenities, in a branded compound. This maximizes both rental yield and resale value.
Hold for at Least 2 Years
The North Coast rewards patience. Hold your investment for a minimum of two years to capture both rental income and strong capital gains as the area develops.
