Mar Bay sits at km 191 on the Alexandria-Matrouh Coastal Road, in the Sidi Heneish area of central Ras El Hekma — one of the most important new real-estate development zones on the North Coast.

The location is excellent for families seeking a unit on the North Coast with direct Mediterranean views, inside the massive Egyptian-Emirati Ras El Hekma deal investment zone.

Access from Mar Bay to major arteries is straightforward, with direct routes to the new Fouka Road (cutting Cairo-to-coast travel to just 3.5 hours) and New El Alamein City.

Mar Bay Design

Mar Bay features a distinctive urban design that maximises 1,500 metres of private sandy beach plus 1,050 metres of artificial crystal lagoons stretching across the project.

The design blends modern architectural styles with Mediterranean village inspiration, with light colours, wide verandas, and open interior layouts that capitalise on sea views.

The master plan divides the village into multiple phases, with units distributed across 5 graduated levels — all overlooking the sea — with 80% of the area dedicated to greenery, lagoons, and pedestrian walkways.

Mar Bay Ras El Hekma includes a complete beachfront zone, a crystal lagoon zone, a large standalone-villa zone, and a commercial/hotel centre serving visitors from outside the village as well.

The village features a Beach Cinema, boutique hotels, seaside restaurants, beach clubs, a yacht marina, and a major water park for children and adults.

Payment Plans at Mar Bay

Village Mar Bay offers a flexible payment plan starting with 5% down, then 5% after 3 months, with 8 years of equal zero-interest installments on the remaining unit price.

Buyers can combine a cash discount when paying upfront, with mixed payment options (cash + installments) offering additional benefits on the final price.

Al Marasem Developments also offers investors the option to obtain bank mortgage financing, in partnership with major Egyptian banks specialised in resort financing.

Investment in Mar Bay

Investing in Mar Bay Ras El Hekma is a strong opportunity, especially given the project's location inside the Egyptian-Emirati Ras El Hekma deal — Egypt's largest investment deal in history at $35 billion.

Seasonal rentals in Ras El Hekma have appreciated significantly since the deal was announced in 2024, with growing demand from Gulf and Egyptian tourists seeking premium summer rentals.

Mar Bay Al Marasem Developments is the company's first investment on the North Coast — meaning concentrated management focus on succeeding here as a model for future projects in the area.

• 1,500-metre private sandy beach for the village
• 1,050-metre artificial crystal lagoons
• Beach Cinema on the seafront
• Boutique hotels inside the project
• Restaurants and cafes with sea views

Mar Bay Highlights

The strategic location of Mar Bay Ras El Hekma at km 191 places families in the heart of Egypt's largest coastal investment zone — the $35 billion Egyptian-Emirati Ras El Hekma deal.

The long beachfront (1,500 m of sandy beach + 1,050 m of crystal lagoons) makes Mar Bay Ras El Hekma one of the longest seafront villages on the entire North Coast.

The first coastal project for Al Marasem Developments — the developer behind Fifth Square and Moon Residences in New Cairo — means application of the highest quality standards the company is known for.

The wide unit variety — from 95-square-metre chalets to 600-square-metre villas — makes Mar Bay Al Marasem suitable for every buyer segment, from small to large families.

Fully Finished delivery saves buyers the hassle of interior finishing — particularly important for seasonal units where managing remote finishing work is impractical.

Drawbacks and How to Mitigate

The most notable drawback of Mar Bay is the distance from Cairo (420 km / 4 hours by car), making visits largely confined to summer for families working in Cairo.

Solution: Take advantage of the new Fouka Road, which cuts the trip to just 3.5 hours, and plan extended week-long visits rather than traditional weekend trips.

A second drawback is the project's recent launch (2024), meaning no long operational track record for Mar Bay Ras El Hekma compared to neighbouring villages like La Vista Ras El Hekma and Caesar SODIC.

The Developer — Al Marasem Developments

Mar Bay Al Marasem is developed by Al Marasem Developments, one of Egypt's most established real-estate firms with a long track record of major projects in New Cairo.

Al Marasem is known for major projects like Fifth Square and Moon Residences in the Golden Square district of New Cairo, plus multiple commercial complexes.

The firm's track record of meeting delivery deadlines on Village Mar Bay Al Marasem Developments is a significant advantage, particularly given how rare this trait is in the Egyptian coastal market.

Choosing a unit in Mar Bay Al Marasem means joining the company's first coastal community on the North Coast, with concentrated management attention to make this project the model for future expansion.

The Al Marasem Developments Mar Bay name is well-known among English-speaking buyers in the Gulf and Cairo, just as Al Marasem is recognised in local New Cairo real-estate circles.

For all the developer's other projects: all Al Marasem projects on CompoundGate.

Solution: Choose a chalet in the rear rows of the project, where prices start at the lower end with the same beach and lagoon access privileges.

Solution: Follow project developments monthly via Al Marasem's official pages, and reach out to early owners when Phase 1 starts delivery in 2027 for real reviews.
