North Coast villages in Egypt are considered among the most important coastal resorts in the country. Egypt has one of the longest coastlines overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, and the Egyptian North Coast is famous for its crystal-clear waters, soft white sands, and calm beaches that provide comfort and relaxation.
The Egyptian coastline stretches for nearly 1,050 kilometers, making it one of the largest coastlines on the Mediterranean. This encouraged many investors and real estate developers to build luxury resorts and tourist villages that compete with international destinations while offering the beauty of Egyptian beaches.
In ancient times, the North Coast was mainly used as a route for trade and armies between Egypt and Libya. During the Greek era, small ports appeared west of Alexandria, especially in Marsa Matrouh, which was known at that time as Paraitonion.
After the Islamic conquest of Egypt, military fortresses were built along the coast to protect the shores from invasions coming from the sea.
The North Coast officially belonged to Egypt, but many tribes controlled the area, especially tribes living near the desert and the coast, such as the Awlad Ali tribe. These communities depended on agriculture, fishing, and well water.
One of the most important historical events in the North Coast was the Battle of El Alamein in 1942 between the Allied Forces and the Axis Powers. Trenches and landmines from the war still exist today. Over time, tourist villages started to appear in the area.
During the 1970s and 1990s, the Egyptian government started offering land for tourism projects. Later, businessman Mansour Amer launched Porto Marina, which marked the beginning of the real estate boom in the North Coast. Major developers such as Emaar, Palm Hills, and Mountain View later entered the market with luxury projects.
The Old Coast extends from kilometer 21 to kilometer 105 on the Alexandria–Matrouh Road. It is known for its integrated services, including hospitals, restaurants, shopping centers, aqua parks, and entertainment facilities.
The New Coast starts from kilometer 120 and extends through New Alamein to Marsa Matrouh. It is famous for modern resorts, luxurious designs inspired by Greek architecture, white sandy beaches, and turquoise waters.
Ras El Hekma is one of the strongest investment destinations in Egypt, with prices starting from around 93,000 EGP per square meter. In Sidi Heneish, prices start from approximately 73,000 EGP per square meter.
