Compound Makadi Heights Hurghada — At a Glance

Makadi Heights is a fully integrated resort community by Orascom Development, set inside Madinat Makadi south of Hurghada.

Sales status (May 2026): Makadi Heights Village is in active developer sale with Orascom Development, and the current CREST phase is open for direct booking from the developer.

No official sold-out announcement has been issued; the project is taking reservations with a 10% down payment and instalments up to 7 years across a mix of apartments, chalets, twin houses, townhouses, and standalone villas.

The CREST phase hands over within two years from contract, while the remainder of the masterplan delivers across 3.5 to 4 years, on an 850-acre site elevated 78 m above sea level.

The project covers more than 810 feddan over a hilltop rising 78 metres above sea level, with sweeping views over the Red Sea and the Eastern Desert mountains.

Prices start from 5,060,000 Egyptian pounds (current CREST phase from the developer); the older 9,290,000 EGP figure referred to a Cape-phase apartment, with a 5% down payment, 8-year installments and Fully Finished – Super Lux delivery.

Location of Compound Makadi Heights Hurghada

Makadi Heights Hurghada sits 15 to 20 minutes from Hurghada International Airport and around 30 minutes from downtown Hurghada by car.

The project overlooks the Red Sea through a private beachfront inside Madinat Makadi, the established Orascom resort city anchored by Makadi Bay.

From Cairo, the drive is roughly 5 hours via the new Galala–Coast highway, making the compound viable as a weekend home for Cairo families.

World-class golf courses, a yacht marina, famous diving beaches, and tourist shopping centres are all minutes from the gates.

Master Plan and Design

The master plan was designed by EDSA, the US firm behind major resort projects worldwide, in a tiered Mediterranean village style flowing down the hillside.

Built-up area is capped at only 12% of the land, leaving the rest for greenery, walking trails, lakes and 35 swimming pools.

The compound is split into multiple phases: hilltop apartments, midslope townhouses, and standalone villas with direct sea views from the cliff edge.

Architecture references Mediterranean and Aegean island design, with earth tones, white finishes, natural stone and dark timber accents throughout.

Unit Types in Makadi Heights

Makadi Heights Compound Hurghada offers a wide unit mix, suitable for both modest holiday-home buyers and high-end second-home investors.

Apartments range from 73 to 200 square metres, in 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom layouts, with most units enjoying panoramic views of the sea or the surrounding mountains.

Townhouses run from 200 to 280 square metres with private gardens and roof terraces, ideal for medium-sized families seeking more privacy.

Standalone villas span 280 to 650 square metres with private pools, gardens and direct cliff-top sea views from the highest plateau zones.

All units in Makadi Heights deliver Fully Finished – Super Lux, with kitchens, bathrooms and air conditioning installed and ready to occupy or rent immediately.

Makadi Heights Prices 2026

Makadi Heights prices in 2026 start from 5,060,000 Egyptian pounds for a 1-bedroom apartment in the Cape phase, the entry-level unit in the project.

Two- and three-bedroom apartments range between 14 and 22,000,000 Egyptian pounds depending on size and proximity to the sea, with a clear premium for direct Sea View units.

Townhouses inside Makadi Heights start from around 25 million and reach 38,000,000 Egyptian pounds for end-units with private rooftop terraces.

The top tier consists of standalone villas in MH1 Sea View and Topio phases, starting at 42 million and reaching 61,300,000 Egyptian pounds for cliff-edge plots.

All prices are Fully Finished and include kitchen, bathrooms and HVAC — there are no hidden finishing costs after handover.

Payment Plans

Orascom Development offers a single uniform payment plan across all phases: 5% down payment, then the balance over 8 years with no interest.

On a 12,000,000 Egyptian pounds apartment, that is a 600,000 EGP down payment and roughly 119,000 EGP per month over 96 months.

Cash discounts of 10 to 15% are available for buyers who pay the full price within three months of contract signing.

Orascom has an unbroken delivery record across El Gouna and Taba Heights, which makes the deferred payment plan unusually low-risk in the Hurghada market.

Investment Outlook

Investing in Makadi Heights is structurally different from a Cairo compound — returns come primarily from short-term tourist rentals through Airbnb and Booking.

Average gross annual yield on a 2-bedroom apartment runs 8 to 12% before expenses, well above the typical Cairo or North Coast yield.

Rising foreign tourist arrivals in Hurghada since 2024 — particularly Russian and European buyers — has pushed asset values upward inside the resort city.

Some phases (Aden and Cape) deliver immediately, allowing rental income from day one rather than the 3-to-4-year wait typical in off-plan projects.

Services and Amenities

Residents tap into the full Madinat Makadi resort: a 27-hole championship golf course, a yacht marina and a professional dive centre.

A central clubhouse hosts restaurants, cafés, indoor gyms and pools, plus a small retail strip for daily essentials.

The project includes a private beach with white sand, wooden boardwalks, sunbeds, and a free internal shuttle between the residential phases and the shore.

An international school, nursery, medical clinics and pharmacies are within minutes, supporting full-time residents and not just holidaymakers.

Features and Highlights

The headline feature is 35 swimming pools spread across the phases — no unit is more than 100 metres from the nearest pool.

Artificial lakes and water channels weave between buildings, creating an island-like feel rather than a wall of touching blocks.

Security includes electronic gates, 24-hour CCTV and patrols, plus a separate guest-access protocol that protects residents' privacy.

The compound runs on partial solar power for shared lighting and heating selected pools, in line with Orascom's resort sustainability standards.

The view advantage is decisive: from the plateau, units face the Red Sea on one side and the Eastern Desert mountain range on the other.

Drawbacks and How to Mitigate

The biggest drawback is the 5-hour drive from Cairo, which rules the project out as a primary residence for Cairo-based professionals.

Mitigation: domestic flights between Cairo and Hurghada take only an hour, or buyers can simply treat the unit as a holiday home and a rental income asset.

A second concern is the high price-per-square-metre on villas compared with cheaper Hurghada developments outside Madinat Makadi.

Mitigation: focus on apartments and townhouses inside Makadi Heights — they share the same amenities at a more competitive square-metre rate.

The Developer — Orascom Development

Makadi Heights is built by Orascom Development Holding AG, founded by Samih Sawiris in 1989 and dual-listed on the Zurich and Cairo stock exchanges.

Orascom is the most experienced master-planned resort developer in Egypt, with El Gouna north of Hurghada serving as its flagship project since 1989.

Other Orascom projects include Taba Heights on the Sinai coast, O West in Sheikh Zayed, Byoum in El Fayoum, and resort developments in Oman, Switzerland and Montenegro.

Naguib Samih Sawiris, son of the founder, currently chairs the company. He is a different person from Naguib Onsi Sawiris, who runs the separate Ora Developers — the two are cousins, not the same firm.

Orascom's record on delivering projects on time is exceptional, which makes signing a deferred-payment contract on a Makadi Heights unit a low-risk decision compared with smaller Hurghada developers.

The exact location of Makadi Heights Hurghada is shown on the Google Map at the top of this page, including routes to Hurghada Airport and the nearest beaches.

Coordinates: 26.9650 north, 33.8836 east, inside Madinat Makadi south of Hurghada, off the main coastal highway.

Annual maintenance fees run higher than the market average (around 80–120 EGP per square metre per year), reflecting the hotel-grade service level.
