The North Coast of Egypt has always been a top summer destination, but over the last decade, it has transformed into something much bigger: a booming real estate hub. And we’re not just talking about pretty beaches anymore. We’re talking about billion-pound developments, luxury compounds, and a strategic location that’s pulling in investors from across the region.
This transformation is being led by Egypt’s top developers like Emaar Misr, Tatweer Misr, City Edge Developments, SODIC, Hyde Park, and Inertia, who have all launched large-scale, high-end projects across the coast.
With the launch of New Alamein City and the introduction of the New Fouka Road (a.k.a. El Dabaa axis), the North Coast is now easier to access than ever, just a couple of hours from Cairo. This infrastructure upgrade has shifted real estate dynamics, dividing the coast into two distinct regions: the Old North Coast and the New North Coast of Egypt
So, what’s the real difference between the two? And more importantly, where should you put your money? Let’s explore.
Location & Geography
Old North Coast of Egypt
- Location: From Kilo 21 to Kilo 105 along the Alexandria–Matrouh Road.
- Famous villages: Marina, Marakia, Casablanca, Nice, Amoun.
- General vibe: Traditional beach villages with a calm, simple atmosphere. The infrastructure is older, designed for seasonal use.
New North Coast of Egypt
- Location: From Kilo 120 to Kilo 220, including areas like Sidi Abdelrahman and Ras El Hekma.
Key compounds: Marassi, Fouka Bay, Bo Sands, Swan Lake North Coast, Naia Bay.
- General vibe: Modern, master-planned resorts with luxury amenities and comprehensive infrastructure.
Infrastructure & Services
Old North Coast of Egypt
- Facilities: Basic utilities and limited modern services. Few malls or upscale leisure zones.
- Accessibility: Easy access from Alexandria and Cairo, suitable for short summer trips.
New North Coast of Egypt
- Facilities: Fully integrated with malls, fine dining, gyms, international schools, and more.

Investment Perspective
Old North Coast of Egypt
- Prices: Starting from around EGP 1.5 million, budget-friendly for many.
- Rental yield: Moderate to low due to limited demand for short-term rentals.
- Resale potential: Challenging due to outdated infrastructure and fewer modern services.
New North Coast of Egypt
- Prices: Starting from EGP 8 million, with luxury units in Marassi reaching up to EGP 60 million.
- Rental yield: Very high, especially for premium seasonal rentals.
- Resale potential: Strong, thanks to ongoing development and increasing property value.
Highlighted Projects
Old North Coast of Egypt
- Marina: One of the oldest developments, features a yacht marina and essential services.
- Marakia: Located at Kilo 51, known for its greenery and leisure facilities.
- Casablanca: Kilo 64, offering varied units, an aqua park, and restaurants.
New North Coast of Egypt
- Marassi (by Emaar): Kilo 126, an ultra-luxury destination with hotels, golf courses, and a marina.
- Fouka Bay (by Tatweer Misr): Kilo 211, known for crystal lagoons and beach life.
- Bo Sands: Kilo 121.5 features modern bohemian design and full services.
Future Outlook
With the rapid expansion of New Alamein City and the national focus on infrastructure, the New North Coast is evolving into a full-fledged urban destination, not just a summer escape. Developers increasingly offer mixed-use communities with residential units, serviced apartments, retail spaces, and educational facilities.
If you’re looking for long-term growth, passive rental income, and premium property appreciation, the New North Coast is the golden ticket in 2025.
But if you’re more into nostalgic summer vibes and a peaceful, budget-friendly getaway, the Old North Coast still has its charm.
