Why the North Coast of Egypt

The North Coast (Sahel) is Egypt's premium Mediterranean coastline — traditionally a summer destination, now evolving into year-round living and investment. Ras El Hekma represents the next generation: a fully integrated city rather than a seasonal compound.

With 44 km of coastline — 3.5× longer than typical North Coast developments — Ras El Hekma offers scale, infrastructure and government backing that individual resorts cannot match.

Investment fundamentals

Key drivers include first-mover pricing in Wadi Yemm, 8–12% gross rental yields, USD/AED payment plans with up to 15% discount, and Egypt golden residency from US$300,000.

The Egypt–UAE partnership through ADQ and Modon Holding provides institutional-grade development standards with an initial $35 billion commitment.

Who should invest

Egyptian buyers benefit from 5% down EGP plans. Gulf and international investors can use USD/AED plans and qualify for golden residency. Egyptian expats can access financing at 7.5% fixed for 15 years through Banque Misr, NBE and ADCB Egypt.
