What is Ras El Hekma?

Where is Ras El Hekma?

Ras El Hekma is a beach district on the North Coast-Sahel, the Mediterranean strip that runs west from Alexandria along the coastal road. It lies further west than Sidi Heneish and Al Alamein, in the part of the coast that is now the newer building front. The catalogue lists it under the area North Coast-Sahel.

How far is it from Cairo?

The drive from Cairo gets longer with every zone to the west, so Ras El Hekma is a longer journey than the eastern end of the strip near El-Hamam and Sidi Abdel Rahman. A North Coast address is measured from the road, not from the nearest city. Youd, for example, sits at kilo 187 of the International Coastal Road, and that kilometre marker is a useful reference when you compare two addresses.

What kind of homes are sold there?

The projects on the site in Ras El Hekma include chalets, villas and twin houses, and the North Coast homes are sold both off-plan and ready. Because many homes on the coast are sold while they are still being built, the delivery year matters as much as the address when two homes are compared.

Which compounds are on the site?

Several developers have projects in the area. Youd, from Al Ahly Sabbour Developments, is a beachfront project of chalets, villas and twin houses, with a basic asking price from about 6.6 million EGP, a 5 per cent down payment, instalments of up to eight years and delivery listed for 2026. Saada North Coast, from Horizon Egypt Development, and Lyv Caesar, from Gates Development, are also listed in Ras El Hekma. These are asking prices as the catalogue shows them today. They change, so the project page always holds the live figures.

What should a buyer check first?

Ask for the delivery date in writing and check that it appears in the contract. Compare the payment plan line by line: the down payment, the instalment years and the amount due at each stage. Confirm what the price includes, such as the finishing level, and find out who runs the maintenance once the compound is handed over. Finally, visit the site if you can, because the distance to the sea and the road view differ from one plot to the next.
