Design, dining, and a different kind of Sahel

Ramla by MARAKEZ is carving out its own identity on Egypt’s North Coast, offering a slower, more intentional take on the Sahel summer.

The season kicked off with When We Eat’s first chefs takeover, where guests swapped formality for barefoot dining and shared Mediterranean-inspired meals in a setting designed for real connection, complete with live music and a laid-back atmosphere.

Also drawing attention is the newly launched Azza Fahmy Ramla Beach Clubhouse. Inspired by Alexandria’s golden age, the space blends heritage and design with nods to coastal nostalgia. Think colorful fishing boats, classic beach snacks like termes and gandofli, and signature Azza Fahmy craftsmanship woven into every detail.

Rather than racing to keep up with the Sahel scene, Ramla is setting its own pace, curating experiences that blend culture, cuisine, and community. From heritage-driven design to intimate beachside gatherings, Ramla is offering a reimagined vision of summer on the Mediterranean.
