New Alamein City A Sparkling Jewel on Egypt's north coast

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Egypt’s beautiful Sa7el, with borders that stretch from the Wadi El-Natroun Road to El Dabaa, and embraced by kilometers of pristine white sandy beaches dotted with spectacular residential developments, New Alamein is set to become one of the most celebrated new developments in the region, with stunning designs and integrated technology of the highest standards which will create what is called a fourth-generation city. New Alamein is poised to transform the summer playground of Sa7el into a year round home for millions of residents, offering housing options tailored to a range of budgets in addition to a number of global projects, from business and international trade centers to residential towers and luxurious resorts.

The healthy beachside lifestyle is expected to draw residents from the country’s crowded capital, as well as from other points around the region. It aligns itself with the concept of an open-to-the-public tourism city, in contrast to the private resorts spread across the coast in either direction. Part of the plan involves the construction of 15,500 hotel apartments spread across an area of 285 feddans.

Hotels and the Arab Contractors Company, while social housing units are being constructed by The Ministry of Housing and Armed Forces Engineering Authority.

The Urban Communities Authority and the Engineering Authority have jointly established the city’s facilities, from a water station, infrastructure and sewage, to electricity networks. The city has also been equipped with a desalination plant, to provide drinking water suitable for human consumption.

Approximately 30 developers have been granted permits to move forward with the construction of hotels for 30,000 rooms, creating one of the most desirable vacation spots in Egypt. Many of these units are in high-rise buildings along the beach, with towers already under construction including the North Edge Towers and The Gate projects.

New Alamein will include three universities and a “city of culture and arts” with a Roman Theater, studio complexes, an opera hall, an archeological area and a cinema complex. The city includes a coastal sector, a hotel neighborhood, a city center, distinctive residential neighborhoods, a conference center, the Gardens of Al Alamein neighborhood, tourist housing, a Lake District, and exhibition grounds.
