Properties North Coast Egypt
The complete 2026 investor guide to Egypt’s premium Mediterranean coast — top projects, payment plans, ROI, and developer due diligence from MAMO Property.
The North Coast of Egypt — Sahel in Arabic — is a 400-kilometer Mediterranean stretch between Alexandria and the Libyan border. Since 2018 it has evolved from a summer-only destination into Egypt’s most liquid coastal investment market. In 2026, with the new Alamein city opening and the Ras El Hekma corridor fully master-planned, properties North Coast Egypt now sit at the intersection of lifestyle demand, capital appreciation, and rental yield — a combination unmatched anywhere else in North Africa.
This guide covers everything an investor needs to decide where, when, and how to buy: the top 10 projects delivering in 2026, the three developers dominating the premium segment, sub-area comparisons from Ras El Hekma to Marina, payment plan benchmarks, and a complete FAQ grounded in the latest developer price lists. All pricing referenced is the public starting figure — the actual unit quote is set by the developer on the day of reservation.

Whether you’re a Cairo family seeking a summer home within a 2-hour drive, a GCC investor diversifying out of Dubai, a European buyer attracted by freehold Mediterranean coastline at North African prices, or an Egyptian expat building a hard-currency retirement asset — the North Coast is the most reliable wealth-preservation play in Egypt’s residential market.
Why Invest in the North Coast in 2026
The North Coast delivers three numbers that matter to every buyer: 30%+ price appreciation per year in flagship villages since 2023, 9%–12% net rental yield during peak season, and 60%–75% summer occupancy for chalets on managed-rental programs. That combination is rare globally — most Mediterranean coastal markets deliver either appreciation (South of France, Cyprus) or rental yield (Spain, Turkey), not both.
Geography is the driver. Ras El Hekma sits at the western edge of the North Coast, 200 km from Alexandria and 350 km from Cairo. The 40-kilometer stretch between km 170 and km 210 has become Egypt’s premium beachfront corridor, anchored by Tatweer Misr’s Salt, Salt Marina and Fouka Bay, Palm Hills’ Hacienda White, and Mountain View’s Hekma. Land in this band is effectively finite — the state has auctioned all available beachfront — so price appreciation compounds.
The state infrastructure keeps accelerating. The new Alamein city (a $20B+ masterplan by the Egyptian government) opened its first phase in 2023 and is adding 3 million residents by 2030. The new Alamein airport handled its first commercial flights in 2024, cutting Cairo-to-coast travel to 90 minutes. A new 6-lane highway from Cairo to Alamein is being widened to 8 lanes and will cut travel time to under 2 hours by 2027. These infrastructure moves directly lift property values in the surrounding villages.
Developer quality is high. All three of the dominant developers — Tatweer Misr, Palm Hills, Mountain View — are listed on the EGX, publish audited financials, and have a 10+ year track record of on-time delivery. Tatweer Misr alone delivered 34,000 units across 9 projects between 2014 and 2026, with EGP 73B cumulative sales. For buyers, this is a market with low counterparty risk and high transparency.
The rental market is mature. Managed-rental operators run 200+ chalets in flagship villages, occupancy tracks reliably at 60%+ in summer, and nightly rates have climbed 18% year-on-year. For investors, the math is straightforward: a EGP 14M 3-bedroom chalet in Salt rents for ~EGP 5,500/night at 65% summer occupancy, generating ~EGP 380K gross revenue in 16 weeks of peak season, less operating costs = EGP 280–320K net. Over a full year, the asset can yield 9–12% net.
The buyer pool is international. Saudi, Emirati, Kuwaiti, and Iraqi buyers now account for 18% of new North Coast reservations, with Europeans (German, Polish, Czech, Russian) adding another 9%. This international depth gives the market liquidity and supports pricing through any domestic cycle.

North Coast by Area
Ras El Hekma (km 185–200). The headline stretch. Land here is auctioned-out and finite — only flagship developers hold significant plots. Tatweer Misr’s Salt, Salt Marina, Fouka Bay and D-Bay command the top of the pricing curve, with starting prices from EGP 12M to EGP 16M for 2-bedroom chalets. Mountain View’s inland Hekma project starts at EGP 8M for the most affordable entry point. Appreciation in this corridor averaged 35% year-on-year between 2023 and 2025.
Sidi Abdel Rahman (km 130–150). The mature, established community. Palm Hills’ Hacienda brand has anchored this area since 2007, with Hacienda Bay, Hacienda White and Hacienda Blue forming the highest-density premium village cluster on the entire North Coast. Resale liquidity is the strongest in Egypt — units listed here sell within 60–90 days at full asking price. Emaar Misr’s Marassi adds 4,000+ units of mixed beachfront and Marina lifestyle.
Alamein (km 105–115). The new-city corridor. The government’s $20B+ new Alamein masterplan is adding 3 million residents by 2030, with a new airport, university district, and financial hub. Palm Hills New Alamein, City Edge’s North Edge, and select Mountain View projects benefit most from this infrastructure uplift. Capital appreciation is forecast at 22%–28% per year through 2028.
Marina (km 92–100). The walkable, marina-front lifestyle community centered on the original Marassioun resort. Mature resale market, lower new-supply growth, strong rental demand from Alexandria weekend visitors. Best for lifestyle resale rather than aggressive appreciation.
Payment Plans & Pricing Guide
Entry-level chalets (2-bedroom, inland): EGP 8M–12M in Mountain View’s Hekma, select Palm Hills projects at Alamein, and the new City Edge supply. Lowest barrier to entry; suitable for first-time investors.
Mid-market chalets (3-bedroom, mid-row beachfront): EGP 14M–22M in Tatweer Misr’s Fouka Bay, D-Bay, Palm Hills New Alamein. This is the sweet spot for capital appreciation and rental yield combined.

Beachfront villas and twin houses: EGP 28M–60M+ in Palm Hills’ Hacienda Blue, Emaar’s Marassi villas, and select Tatweer Misr Salt plots. Ultra-premium tier, lowest supply, most exclusive.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best area to buy property in the North Coast?
In 2026 the most sought-after stretch is Ras El Hekma at km 185–200. Tatweer Misr’s Salt, Salt Marina and Fouka Bay anchor the headline pricing; Mountain View’s Hekma sits inland at competitive entry points; Palm Hills’ Hacienda Bay and Hacienda White command premium seafront pricing along Sidi Abdel Rahman. Choose Ras El Hekma for strongest rental ROI, Sidi Abdel Rahman for established resale liquidity, Alamein for capital appreciation tied to new state infrastructure, and Marina for walkable lifestyle resale.
How much does a chalet in the North Coast cost in 2026?
Studio and 2-bedroom chalets start from EGP 8 million in inland communities like Mountain View Hekma and select Palm Hills projects. Seafront 3-bedroom chalets in flagship Tatweer Misr villages (Salt, Fouka Bay) range from EGP 14M to EGP 22M. Standalone villas and twin houses on the beachfront start at EGP 28M and can exceed EGP 60M for premium Palm Hills and Emaar Marassi plots. Final pricing is always quoted by the developer on the official price list — contact MAMO on WhatsApp for live availability.
Is North Coast a good investment in 2026?
Yes. North Coast chalet prices appreciated 28%–42% year-on-year across 2023–2025 per Egyptian real-estate analysts, driven by constrained land bank along Ras El Hekma and continued state investment in the new Alamein city. Rental yield for 4-bedroom chalets during the June–August peak reaches 9%–12% net in flagship villages, with year-round income through long-stay winter tenants and corporate bookings. MAMO tracks ROI per project — ask for the latest numbers.
Which developer is best for the North Coast?
Three developers dominate the premium segment. Tatweer Misr (Salt, Fouka Bay, D-Bay, Salt Marina) leads on land bank and design innovation. Palm Hills (Hacienda Bay, Hacienda White, Hacienda Blue, New Alamein) leads on resale liquidity and brand premium. Mountain View (Hekma, the Greek-island-themed villages) leads on lifestyle concepts and competitive entry pricing. All three are listed on the EGX, deliver on schedule, and offer payment plans up to 10 years.
What are the payment plans available for North Coast properties?
Standard developer payment plans in 2026: 5%–10% down payment, equal installments over 6 to 10 years, with a final 5%–10% balloon on delivery. Tatweer Misr’s signature plan is 5% down + 10-year installments + 10% on delivery. Palm Hills offers 10% down + 8-year installments + 10% on delivery. Mountain View offers 5% down + 9-year installments. Maintenance deposits are typically 8%–10% of unit value. Ask MAMO for the current month-end promotion on your preferred project.
Can foreigners buy property in the North Coast?
Yes. Egypt permits foreign ownership of residential property under Law 230 of 1996 (and its amendments). Foreign buyers need a valid passport, Egyptian tax ID (obtainable in 1–2 working days), and to register the deed at the local real-estate registry. North Coast freehold zones (most of Ras El Hekma, Sidi Abdel Rahman and Alamein) grant full freehold title. MAMO’s multilingual team (English, Arabic, German, Polish, Czech, Russian) assists foreign buyers end-to-end.
When is the best time to buy North Coast property?
The window between November and March is the strategic buying window: developers launch Q1 promotions, road-trip viewing is comfortable, and you close before the spring reservation rush. June–August is peak season (high prices, low availability, busy units). October is the delivery-and-handover season for projects that completed earlier phases — secondary market opportunities open here.
What is the difference between Ras El Hekma and Sidi Abdel Rahman?
Ras El Hekma is the newer, fast-growing stretch at km 185–200, anchored by Tatweer Misr’s flagship villages, with a wider beachfront and steeper appreciation curve. Sidi Abdel Rahman is the more established, mature community centered around Hacienda Bay and Hacienda White by Palm Hills, with higher resale liquidity and a stable rental book. New buyers seeking long-term capital appreciation often start at Ras El Hekma; investors seeking proven rental income prefer Sidi Abdel Rahman.
Are North Coast properties good for Airbnb rental?
Yes — flagship villages on Ras El Hekma achieve 60%–75% occupancy during the 16-week peak season (mid-May to mid-September) with average nightly rates of EGP 4,500–9,000 for 3-bedroom chalets and EGP 12,000–25,000 for 4-bedroom beachfront villas. Off-season occupancy drops to 20%–30% but winter long-stay corporate and expat rentals fill the gap. MAMO’s managed-rental program can place your unit on the rental book — ask for the 2026 yield forecast.
How do I verify a developer’s North Coast project before buying?
Five checks: (1) confirm the project is registered with the Egyptian Real Estate Registry and the developer holds a valid land lease or freehold title; (2) verify the developer’s EGX listing and most recent financial disclosures; (3) ask for the official price list, not the marketing price; (4) visit the site and confirm the construction milestone matches the buyer’s brochure; (5) use MAMO’s developer due-diligence report — we publish independent verification on every project we list.
