The subject is exactly what it says on the tin: Sahel as a holiday destination. As an investment destination. And as a business destination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Sahel is the opportunity we squandered \u2014 until now: <\/strong>More than 40 years ago, policymakers thought they had the formula to unlock the North Coast: hand out long stretches of beachfront to the public sector and to professional syndicates at reduced prices \u2014 and hope that development would follow. The outcome? A string of closed-off compounds, used only a handful of weekends a year, sitting on one of the country\u2019s most valuable assets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The Sahel of today bears little resemblance to its humble origins. <\/strong>From New Alamein City with its Dubai-style high rises to the Marassis and Haciendas that have captured the attention of Gulf (and even global audiences) on Instagram and Tiktok, Sahel is one of the most exciting investment opportunities in the nation today. Their potential to generate foreign direct investment is credibly measured in the USD bns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It took just one project to change the conversation. <\/strong>Last year, the UAE\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/b0b97fcf-95b0-4d39-86ae-0a4989221520\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">USD 35 bn Ras El<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/b0b97fcf-95b0-4d39-86ae-0a4989221520\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Hekma<\/a> came onto the scene with a USD 150 bn plan to develop a 170 sq km city \u2014 challenging Europe\u2019s top Mediterranean destinations. The project, still on the drawing boards at Modon as policymakers work on the legislative framework that will make it possible, is already pushing developers and the government alike to rethink what the North Coast can and should be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What we\u2019re really talking about when we talk about Sahel: <\/strong>The government defines the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.presidency.eg\/EN\/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%B9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D9%88%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9\/%D9%85%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B9-%D8%AA%D9%86%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D8%A7%D8%AD%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%BA%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%8A\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Western North Coast<\/a> as a 500 km stretch from Alamein to Salloum, backed by a 280 km desert hinterland \u2014 totaling around 160k sq km, with a plan to develop the whole of it by 2052 and create some 11 mn jobs. Add to this what is called the Central North Coast, which starts from the end of Alexandria and runs up to El Alamein. We\u2019re talking about a massive geographical expanse open to urban, tourism, industrial, and logistics development, and more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Only piece of the gigantic pie: <\/strong>The Ras El Hekma project alone is expected to generate USD 25 bn in annual returns. That\u2019s just a sliver of what the broader Sahel could unlock. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In this four-part series, we\u2019ll look at the North Coast through the lens of business, <\/strong><strong>investment, and summer vacations <\/strong>\u2014 whether you\u2019re Egyptian, a foreign resident, or a visitor flying in to Egypt for a holiday.

For weeks, the conversation centered on the sheer scale of it: The largest agreement on FDI in our history, unmatched in size, scope, and ambition. Then the noise faded. Questions have quietly bubbled up since.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>You can expect to hear a lot more about Ras El Hekma later this summer or early fall. <\/strong>That\u2019s when our sources expect Modon, the UAE-headquartered developer tasked with bringing it to life, is expected to give the nation a glimpse of what it\u2019s planning. We\u2019re excited about the project and what it means to the nation and the economy \u2014 whether you\u2019re a business leader or thinking as a potential homebuyer, you need to factor the North Coast in general and Ras El Hekma, in particular, into your plans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>To help you, we\u2019re asking: <\/strong>What makes Ras El Hekma different? And more importantly, how can it become a catalyst that redefines urban development \u2014 not just in one coastal stretch, but across the entire North Coast and, perhaps, beyond?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But first, a quick geography lesson: <\/strong>The city of Ras El Hekma will stretch from kilometre 170 to kilometre 220 on the Alexandria-Matrouh Road. It\u2019s a few klicks west of TMG\u2019s <strong>SouthMed<\/strong>, which has racked up over EGP 350 bn in sales since its launch in summer 2024. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Ras El Hekma is a new centre of gravity on the coast: <\/strong>The broader area of Ras El Hekma (as distinct from the as-yet unnamed city Modon will build) is currently the hottest spot in Sahel \u2014 especially since last year \u2014 witnessing numerous luxury offerings from the biggest real estate developers\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In the line up: <\/strong>Projects like <strong>Mountain View Ras El Hekma<\/strong>, <strong>Soul <\/strong>by Emaar Misr<strong>, The Med <\/strong>by People and Places, <strong>Swan Lake <\/strong>by Hassan Allam Properties, <strong>Caesar, June, and Ogami <\/strong>by SODIC line up<strong>,<\/strong> all the way to <strong>Ramla <\/strong>by Marakez, which is directly adjacent to the Ras El Hekma triangle. Development extends beyond the Ras El Hekma triangle with other projects including Shehab Mazhar's<strong> Sidi Heneish Village<\/strong> and <strong>Marsa Bagoush<\/strong>, Ora Developers'<strong> Silver Sands<\/strong>, and Palm Hills Developments' <strong>Hacienda Heneish<\/strong>, ending roughly at Travco's<strong> Almaza Bay<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cThis triangle will be <\/strong><strong>the<\/strong><strong> new center of the North Coast,\u201d<\/strong> says <strong>Abdallah Sallam<\/strong>, CEO of <strong>Madinet Masr<\/strong>. \u201cThis project will include a real city, not just a resort \u2014 a city with an airport, global tourism attractions, and medical and industrial facilities serving all the areas currently being developed on the coast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Sahel may be \u201cpredominantly a destination for Egyptians today,\u201d <\/strong>says <strong>Marakez<\/strong> Executive Vice Chairman <strong>Dasha Badrawi<\/strong>, but that\u2019s changing as it becomes increasingly popular with holidaymakers who live abroad. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The balance will shift with time as the infrastructure matures<\/strong> \u2014 more airports, hotel rooms and activities. \u201cWe have already announced the Adr\u00e8re Amellal hotel in Ramla and are in advanced stages of finalizing our plans for a second, larger hotel,\u201d Badrawi adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Upscaling is the name of the game: <\/strong>Only \u201cCategory A\" players are being allowed to build communities in Sahel, a <strong>senior government source<\/strong> tells us. Developers must have on board consulting firms with international experience to meet the needs of Sahel\u2019s new clients, the source notes. It\u2019s a deliberate move to ensure consistency, scale, and integration across projects as Egypt looks to transform the entire stretch into a world-class tourism and urban development destination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Our offering will have to improve to compete with international destinations<\/strong>. \u201cIn Ramla, for example, we have placed The Town in the heart of the project on the seafront with underground parking for visitors. Our sports and leisure activities occupy 10 acres and include tennis, padel, basketball courts, fitness studios, a semi Olympic pool and multi purpose courts,\u201d Badrawi told us. Significant amenities are the table stakes to attract holidaymakers \u2014 let alone making possible the dream of year-round residents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>More developers are beginning to introduce<\/strong><strong> a wider selection of international brands and <\/strong><strong>high-end hospitality, shopping, and fine dining experiences<\/strong> along Ras El Hekma. SODIC, for example, plans to have a Nobu hotel and restaurant at Ogami, in addition to launching Dubai\u2019s Surf Club at June next month. \u201cIf you\u2019re looking at international destinations like Ibiza or Southern France, they mainly depend on entertainment,\u201d <strong>SODIC<\/strong> General Manager <strong>Ayman Amer<\/strong> told us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cI see Sahel season extending to four months and even longer in the very near future,\u201d <\/strong>the SODIC GM adds. Remember the \u201cold days\u201d of Gouna in the early 1990s? It was considered a far-off destination and people shied away from going there \u2014 now, Cairenes flock there on weekends year-round, Amer notes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cDesigning a place for permanent residents is very different from developing second <\/strong><strong>homes or vacation homes<\/strong>,\u201d <strong>El Gouna<\/strong> CEO <strong>Mohamed Amer<\/strong> explains. The planning considerations are different: Having a broad vision of the intended outcome is absolutely key \u2014 \u201cand I have no doubt that this is going to be the case for a project as huge as Ras El Hekma\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>You have to be very deliberate about the community you want to build.<\/strong> \u201cIf there is one thing that is critical for the continuation of El Gouna, it\u2019s the community. That, in my opinion, is going to be the key. The way the community is built will define the longevity and the long-term viability of the entire development\u2026 Today, 40% of Gouna\u2019s sales are generated internationally,\u201d EL Gouna\u2019s Amer told us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">The Ras El Hekma triangle is not one project, but many independent developments <strong>chained <\/strong><strong>together<\/strong>, so there\u2019s going to be a very wide range of clients. \u201cI don\u2019t want to talk on somebody else\u2019s behalf, but I imagine a big part of the target market is going to be international,\u201d the Gouna chief added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Two game-changing licenses:<\/strong> Modon Holding \u2014 the master developer of Ras El Hekma triangle \u2014 received two key approvals in May 2024 for its project; one to build an airport to serve the area and another to establish an 18 mn sqm free-service zone, <strong>Redcon Properties<\/strong>\u2019 <strong>Tarek El Gammal<\/strong> explained. This economic zone will help position Ras El Hekma as a fully integrated destination \u2014 inspired by Dubai\u2019s DIFC model \u2014 with a special focus on attracting European firms looking to use Egypt as a gateway to 22 countries, including 18 in Europe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Beyond lagoons and luxury villas: <\/strong>El Gammal took issue with the limited vision that has long shaped North Coast development, which has largely been focused on high-end villas and artificial lagoons. Modon\u2019s Ras El Hekma, by contrast, is envisioned as a real city \u2014 complete with high-quality education, industrial infrastructure, and business facilities alongside its tourism offerings. The idea, he said, is to attract diverse residential patterns, including full-time residents, not just seasonal vacationers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Modon is building a dream team: <\/strong>Last year, Modon inked <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/c6c12975-8799-49e6-af3e-e896885687a3\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">a pile of agreements<\/a> with local, regional, and international players to get the project off the ground, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A framework agreement with local construction giant <strong>Orascom Construction<\/strong> for it to be a key contractor for the project's first phase;<\/li>\n<li>An MoU with <strong>Hassan Allam Holding<\/strong> to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/e8ecd240-de6c-4d28-b410-9cee3ea948ab\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">cooperate<\/a> on projects in the infrastructure, energy, and water and wastewater treatment, and special building sectors;<\/li>\n<li>A memorandum of understanding with <strong>TAQA Arabia <\/strong>to explore cooperation on greenfield utilities, water desalination, and electricity projects;<\/li>\n<li>An MoU with <strong>Elsewedy Electric<\/strong> to look into supplying building materials and collaborating on industrial park development, operations, and maintenance;<\/li>\n<li>A letter of intent with<strong> Elsewedy Industrial Development<\/strong> to build and operate an industrial zone over a 10 mn sqm to the south of Ras El Hekma;<\/li>\n<li>An MoU with <strong>Abu Dhabi Airports<\/strong> to collaborate in strategic airport planning, development, and operations;<\/li>\n<li>An MoU with <strong>e&amp; Egypt<\/strong> to help design and implement smart city infrastructure, from 5G networks and IoT-enabled solutions to city-wide data analytics systems;<\/li>\n<li>An MoU with <strong>Lulu Retail <\/strong>to develop and operate hypermarkets and other retail facilities; <\/li>\n<li>An MoU with <strong>Valderrama<\/strong> to develop and operate golfing facilities;<\/li>\n<li>An MoU with<strong> Candy International<\/strong> to look into developing luxury real estate;<\/li>\n<li>An MoU with US-based luxury hotel management company <strong>Montage International<\/strong> for the development and management of luxury hotels;<\/li>\n<li>An MoU with the French hospitality company <strong>Accor <\/strong>and <strong>Ennismore <\/strong>to operate hotels and resorts;<\/li>\n<li>An MoU with UAE player <strong>Burjeel Holdings<\/strong> to develop healthcare facilities and collaborate on public health programs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The development area earmarked for the Ras El Hekma triangle is more than double the <\/strong><strong>size of Alexandria<\/strong>, El Gammal said. For context, Marassi \u2014 one of the North Coast\u2019s flagship developments \u2014 spans 1.5k feddans and has taken some 20 years to reach 80% completion. That scale makes the timeline for Ras El Hekma an ambitious challenge in and of itself, he noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The project targets some 8 mn high-spending tourists annually<\/strong>, marking a clear shift away from Egypt\u2019s traditional low-cost tourism model. It\u2019s expected to feature a fully equipped international airport, a diversified hospitality portfolio, mixed-use neighborhoods, and fully integrated entertainment zones. El Gammal expects the Ras El Hekma area to eventually create 1.5 mn jobs and accommodate some five mn people \u2014 both permanent residents and workers. The aim is to set a new regional standard for coastal development while supporting Egypt\u2019s push into real estate exports through international sales, he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Some expect a different first move: <\/strong>While many are bracing for a classic sea view launch in the project\u2019s first phase, others see a different play taking shape. \u201cThe first phase from Modon may see them launching a golf course area deep in the city, which I think is a very smart thing to do to show that it\u2019s not just a beach resort,\u201d an industry player told us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Ripple effect: <\/strong>Neighboring areas could see a tourism and investment boom. The Ras El Hekma project is set to have a positive knock-on effect on surrounding areas like Sidi Abdel Rahman, which are expected to benefit from infrastructure upgrades, rising land values, and more commercial activity, <strong>Savills Egypt<\/strong> told us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>These areas are likely to evolve into standalone investment hubs<\/strong> catering to mid-market projects and support services that meet growing demand from both buyers and renters. Ready-to-move, furnished units and serviced apartments could be particularly attractive to those seeking immediate occupancy, while flexible payment plans could bring new demographics into the fold.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Integrated services are a must: <\/strong>All projects in the area are now required to offer a mix of tourism, hospitality, commercial, and public services to ensure service availability and strengthen tourist appeal, the government source said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A major marketing push is coming next month: <\/strong>The <strong>Real Estate Development Chamber<\/strong> is set to kick off a 60-day marketing blitz next month, the chamber\u2019s executive director, <strong>Osama Saad El Din<\/strong>, tells. The marketing campaign will be the largest campaign to date covering projects across the so-called \u201cnew North Coast\u201d and the entire Ras El Hekma area, targeting foreign and Arab tourists alike with fresh marketing ideas and offerings tailored to their tastes, he notes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We\u2019ll have more on Ras El Hekma <\/strong>throughout this limited-run series.

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>Are Sahel prices overblown? <\/strong>If you\u2019re talking about the price of your freska or a watermelon smoothie, most people would probably agree. And anecdotally, rental costs are even more eyebrow-raising. What factors play in the price dynamics? We take a deeper look. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Let\u2019s start with the fact that Sahel competes with Europeans vacation destinations\u2026 <\/strong>It\u2019s clear why many would want to flock to Sahel over Europe: Depending on how heavy your foot is, you can get there in under three hours door-to-door \u2014 no airport, no customs and immigration, just gas and go. And you can visit any time. One week you\u2019re with your entire family. The next, you\u2019re reconnecting with childhood friends, and in between, you can close a transaction on the beach. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u2026and then throw in the fact that the season is incredibly short: <\/strong>Sahel visitors are the country\u2019s highest earners, yet they concentrate their stay and spending over just a few weeks of the year. This is not matched by adequate services or infrastructure. Prices are driven by scarcity, not quality. Because it\u2019s not a year-round destination, operators have to truck-in staff and product \u2014 and face heavy competition on everything from logistics services to staff accommodation, sending their operating costs into the stratosphere.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>For would-be North Coast home buyers, most real estate experts we spoke with say <\/strong><strong>prices are justified.<\/strong> The bubble narrative that remerged last year following the devaluation doesn't hold water, especially in Sahel, according to industry players we spoke with. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Everyone\u2019s after a spot by the sea.<\/strong> The catchment area for Sahel is not East Cairo or West Cairo, but all of Egypt \u2014 and, increasingly, the region, <strong>Marakez<\/strong> Executive Vice Chairman <strong>Dasha Badrawi<\/strong> tells us. Throw in limited coastal space and it\u2019s not surprising there\u2019s pricing pressure, particularly in well-planned communities where development is moving at speed, he said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Don\u2019t judge the market by the EGP 400 mn beachfront villas: <\/strong>They\u2019re the exception, not the rule. To this day, there are still major developers offering high-quality products at far more accessible price points \u2014 some starting at around EGP 6 mn with payment plans stretching up to 10 years, <strong>Madinet Masr<\/strong> CEO <strong>Abdallah Sallam<\/strong> noted. For foreigners or Egyptians living abroad, that works out to about USD 1k per month over a decade, he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Are European-level prices necessarily a bad thing if the product measures up? <\/strong>\u201cWe\u2019ve got a more beautiful coastline, better weather, more diverse cuisine, and a lower daily cost of living, so why shouldn\u2019t our prices match Europe\u2019s?\u201d Sallam argued.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cWe still have a long way to go before we catch up to European prices,\u201d<\/strong> said SODIC General Manager Ayman Amer. Average prices for high-end units in Sahel currently hover around USD 4-5k per sqm. Compare that to EUR 10-15k in some Mediterranean hotspots in Europe, he noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Will Ras El Hekma push up prices across the North Coast? <\/strong>Almost certainly. <strong>Savills Egypt<\/strong> expects an initial uptick, though the consultancy cautions that it\u2019s still too early to call a ceiling or quantify the jump, with full project details yet to be announced. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s already clear is the market confidence: Ras El Hekma logged the highest y-o-y <\/strong><strong>price growth in Sahel at 75% as of August 2024<\/strong>, followed by El Dabaa and Sidi Heneish at around 68%. Luxury projects in Ras El Hekma outpaced the broader market, with prices climbing 71% compared to 64% for high-end units. That said, Savills cautions that justifying those price levels will depend on striking the right balance between maintaining affordability and delivering a high-quality, integrated experience.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/market-dynamics\/\">MARKET DYNAMICS<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/real-estate\/\">real estate<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"677340 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"677340\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2025\/06\/24\/677340\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-677340\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-677340 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"taqa.com.eg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2025\/6\/1342.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"677341\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"677341\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Real estate<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2025\/06\/24\/how-to-score-a-great-rental-for-the-summer-2\/\">\r\n                            How to score a great rental for the summer?

The chatter usually goes something like this: \u201cAre these prices for real?\u201d \u201cDoes this make any sense?\u201d \u201cWho would pay that?\u201d \u201cShould we go to Greece instead?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The Greece option has certainly become popular \u2014 and, in some cases, more affordable <\/strong><strong>\u2014 in the past couple of years<\/strong>, but Sahel remains the country\u2019s go-to summer vacation destination. The same people who rant about outrageous prices in spring start scrambling to find the perfect summer rental come June.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>To the casual observer looking at the never-ending sea of billboards advertising new <\/strong><strong>coastal developments, it may appear that there is no shortage in the supply of homes on the North Coast.<\/strong> Don\u2019t be deceived. When it comes to fully-developed premium locations where the demand for rentals is high, the supply of well-maintained properties is not as abundant as it may seem \u2014 and navigating the offerings that are out there can be confusing to say the least.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Want to lock in that ideal property? Here\u2019s the patented EnterpriseAM Guide<\/strong> to help you get started.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#1- Stay away from Airbnb and Booking.com.<\/strong> These platforms are fine for finding hotel rooms in Sahel or homes in destinations like the Red Sea, but we think their listings for homes in Sahel are underwhelming and overpriced. This is largely the case because many homeowners either distrust the clientele that will come their way through these platforms or are unfamiliar with the listing process and the associated fees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#2- Do your homework. <\/strong>Start randomly searching for \u201cSahel rentals\u201d and you\u2019ll get lost and may end up in a summer home in the middle of a construction site \u2014 or worse. Decide exactly what you\u2019re after and be as specific as possible before you begin any kind of search.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>So, what\u2019s out there? <\/strong>If you want to be in the middle of the action or within close proximity to it, then you are looking at an approximately 20 km stretch of coastline from Sidi Abdel Rahman to Ghazala Bay. Within that area there are at 25-30 developments along with their associated retail and entertainment venues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Once you understand the labyrinth of highways and service roads that connect them, it\u2019s <\/strong><strong>pretty easy to move around. <\/strong>Among the most sought-after areas are Hacienda Bay, Diplo, Marassi, Bianchi, Seashell, Hacienda White, Hacienda Red, Telal, and Ghazala. There are also popular finished developments further west including Caesar, Swan Lake, and Almaza. Their close proximity to the up-and-coming Ras El Hekma and Sidi Heneish areas promises to make them part of the Sahel hub of the future, but for now the \u201creal\u201d action (read: night life) remains in the Sidi Abdel Rahman area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#3- Start your search early and familiarize yourself with pricing. <\/strong>The savviest renters usually start their search as early as February-March, but it\u2019s still possible to find good rentals well into the summer. Prices can vary greatly even within a single compound depending on variables such as proximity to the beach, d\u00e9cor, landscaping, swimming pools, whether or not the homes come with cabanas \u2014 and, frankly, the sheer greed of the property owner. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Demand for the peak two-month (July-August) summer season, which used to be the <\/strong><strong>norm in Sahel, has gradually dipped as prices have skyrocketed<\/strong>, brokers tell us. \u201cHomeowners who would have never considered short-term rentals are now willing to accommodate requests of one week or even less,\u201d said one local broker who now quotes per-night rates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>So how much are we talking about? <\/strong>Rental prices for three- and four-bedroom chalets in the Sidi Abdel Rahman area range between EGP 13-25k per night or EGP 500-800k per month. Rental prices for chalets in Hacienda Bay are on the lower end of the range and currently stand at EGP 13-14k while Hacienda White and Hacienda Red are on the higher end at an average of EGP 20-25k per night. Diplo and Marassi are somewhere in the middle. Larger 4- 6-bedroom villas in some of these compounds will set you back anywhere between EGP 1-3 mn per month with a handful of palatial seaside villas going as high as USD 11k-14k per night. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#4- Browse Facebook. <\/strong>Yes, your mom or grandpa\u2019s favorite social network. It\u2019s home to multiple groups and pages on the subject. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/786168095874300\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">What\u2019s up for rent and sale in Sahel<\/a> is one of the more popular public groups. There are also private Facebook groups for individual compounds. If you know that you specifically want to be in Hacienda Red or Telal for example, you\u2019ll have to ask a friend or acquaintance who is a resident there to either post a message on your behalf on the private group or have them forward you the contacts of people who are posting their places for rent. While this is the less straightforward route than going through a public forum, it will sometimes give you access to nicer properties because many homeowners will only post on private groups to ensure that their potential tenants come through friends and acquaintances within their own residential community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#5- Reach out to local brokers. <\/strong>The best brokers are locals, and by local we mean members of the coastal Bedouin community. The North Coast Bedouin know the area and its temporary summer residents the best and for the most part they won\u2019t lead you astray. They know the best houses, have well-cultivated relationships with the owners and have firsthand information on the ins and outs of each compound.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#6- Invest time in networking. <\/strong>Bottom line? Word of mouth is king when it comes to Sahel. This is one of those rare areas where your online research skills and AI assistants will not get you very far in the absence of human intervention. Talk to friends, family members, neighbors or work colleagues who know Sahel. They will refer you to homeowners and local brokers (there are plenty of them and they are generally very friendly and easy to deal with if you\u2019re an Arabic speaker) who will help you find your ideal summer rental.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Expert tip:<\/strong> Make sure you get updated photos of the properties that you are interested in and if you are dealing with a broker arrange for a direct call or meeting with the owners. If you can make a quick day trip up to the Coast to assess the properties firsthand before you commit, even better.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID}

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>Heading up north?<\/strong> It\u2019s about time. With it comes the promise of long, languid days where your biggest worry should be where you\u2019re spending the evening or how much sun is too much sun. But here\u2019s the thing with sun and salt air: Things tend to get a little rusty from season to season. So before you fully ease into summer mode, we\u2019re saving you the trouble of searching far and wide for the right service provider to zhuzh-up your Sahel home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Time for a little TLC.<\/strong> Whether you\u2019re in the mood to reimagine your living space with a brand-new furniture set, want to add some color \u2014 and order \u2014 to your front yard, find yourself overthinking those flaky spots in the ceiling, or simply need a helping hand to get rid of a year\u2019s worth of dust, here\u2019s every service provider that should be on your radar. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Something to note: <\/strong>Before contracting third-party service providers, we recommended you first check with your compound\u2019s management to ensure its okay. Some compounds may choose to offer these services in-house exclusively to their residents, meaning third-party contractors would not be an option \u2014 or may be hindered by red tape (and QR codes). If you are bringing in an outside contractor for landscaping or external renovation services, be sure to adhere to the compound\u2019s aesthetic regulations, which are often strict.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Most compounds across the North Coast offer landscape maintenance, cleaning <\/strong><strong>services, <\/strong><strong>and residential maintenance services<\/strong> \u2014 i.e. plumbing, electrical services, and such \u2014 exclusively to their residents. For example, through the official <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/eg\/app\/emaar-misr-app\/id1168425830\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Emaar<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/eg\/app\/emaar-misr-app\/id1168425830\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>, residents of Marassi can request all sorts of in-house services. Apps from Mountain View Ras El Hekma, Hacienda, and La Vista offer similar services.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MAINTENANCE AND RENOS<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Does your house need a deep clean before you open things up for the summer?<\/strong> Whether you\u2019re looking to get that thick layer of dust off, give the living room sofa a proper de-sanding treatment, or fix your screen door, here are the service providers to get you up and running for the summer. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#1- BUSY BEES: <\/strong>Founded in Dubai in 2008, the family-owned business has offered cleaning, maintenance, and pest control services across Egypt since launching here in 2013.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>SERVICES: <\/strong>Busy Bees offers four main service packages across Sahel: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Basic Deep Cleaning \u2014 which covers a full sweep of living spaces, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas<\/li>\n<li>Deep Cleaning+ adds high-pressure cleaning, further sanitization, inside-out cabinet and wardrobe cleaning<\/li>\n<li>Deep Cleaning++ bundles in furniture washing, appliance cleaning, and more. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">The company also provide post-construction cleaning services, pest and rodent control services, and light cleaning visits.
