Makadi Heights Hurghada is a fully integrated seaside town built on the highest point of Makadi Bay, rising 78 meters above sea level south of Hurghada on the Hurghada–Safaga road.
Developed by Orascom Development Egypt across 3.4 million m², the project dedicates more than 85% of its land to landscaping, lagoons and open space.
That elevation gives every home an open view of the Red Sea from above, while residents reach the beach club on the soft sands of Makadi Bay by the community shuttle in about 5 minutes.
The community offers studios, apartments, duplexes, penthouses, twin villas and standalone villas from 66 m², with prices starting at EGP 7,100,000 on installments.
Selected units are available through direct developer offers with a 0% down payment and installments of up to 8 years, and every unit is delivered fully finished.
Since welcoming its first residents in 2022, Makadi Heights has grown into a year-round community rather than a summer-only resort, complete with schools, a hospital, a mall and a vast clubhouse.
It suits holiday homeowners, permanent residents and rental investors alike.

Makadi Heights Hurghada
The Meaning Behind the Name Makadi Heights
The name has two parts. “Makadi” refers to Makadi Bay, the stretch of coastline south of Hurghada where the project sits, while “Heights” describes its position on the highest point of the bay at 78 meters above sea level.
The name is more than a marketing choice. Elevation is the idea the entire masterplan was built around, with buildings arranged on stepped terraces so that no home blocks the view of the one behind it.
Makadi Heights Hurghada: Project Overview
Orascom approached Makadi Heights with the same thinking that created El Gouna more than three decades ago: a complete town with its own services, not a resort that shuts down at the end of August.
Alongside its homes, the community includes schools, a hospital with 24-hour emergency care, a mosque, a church, a retail center and a supermarket.
The masterplan was created by the international firm EDSA, with architectural design contributions from AAA and Ayman Arafa.
The design philosophy blends nature and community in line with sustainable development principles, weaving man-made lakes and gardens between the buildings instead of pushing them to the edges of the site.
The terraced layout is what sets Makadi Heights apart from most resorts on the bay.
Rather than reserving sea views for the front row, each row sits slightly higher than the one in front of it, so residents in the back rows enjoy almost the same view of the water as those closest to the edge.
Orascom also gave each phase its own architectural character.
Some neighborhoods revolve around lagoons, others around terraced gardens, and others around villas with private gardens, all tied together by a unified visual language of earthy tones that complements the surrounding mountains.
Today, the project is a lived-in community. Families live here year-round alongside owners who come for their holidays, while construction continues on new phases that are gradually expanding across the remaining land.
Phases of Makadi Heights Hurghada
The community is divided into several phases, each with its own unit types, size range and payment plan. The most notable include:
- Siyal: The newest phase, featuring townhouses, twin houses and sea-view villas starting from 136 m².
- Ria: Villas and chalets oriented toward direct sea views.
- Crest: Apartments from 112 m² set among crystal lakes.
- Bayou: Homes overlooking a 5,400 m² lagoon.
- Topio: European-style townhouses on 3 feddans.
- Ledge: Three-bedroom apartments with panoramic views from the upper terraces.
- Aden and DUA: Distinctive neighborhoods on the highest points of the project.

The Beach at Makadi Heights Hurghada
Makadi Bay is one of the calmest bays along the Hurghada coast.
It is relatively sheltered from strong currents, its beach is made of soft sand lapped by clear turquoise water, and the coral reefs just offshore have made it one of the best-known snorkeling spots in the region.
Because the town is built on a 78-meter hill, it does not sit directly on the shoreline.
Instead, residents reach the beach club reserved for Makadi Heights owners by a shuttle that runs throughout the day, a trip of roughly 5 minutes by car.
In practice, this means the sea is part of your daily view from the balcony, yet close enough to visit more than once a day.
The beach club offers comfortable seating areas for sunbathing along with a range of water activities on the bay, while the panoramic sea view stays with you inside your home even on the days you skip the beach.
Within the town itself, lagoons and water features bridge the distance between the homes and the sea.
Some units open directly onto the 5,400 m² Bayou lagoon, and there is also a dedicated kids’ aqua park and a large number of shared swimming pools, so families always have a place to swim just steps from their front door without taking the shuttle.
Details such as the length of the beach frontage allocated to the project, lifeguard hours, or a ladies-only section have not been announced by the developer yet, so it is worth asking the sales team about them before booking.
Water Activities at Makadi Heights
Makadi Bay combines calm swimming with snorkeling over the coral reefs, and diving trips and sea safaris to nearby islands depart from the area.
Back in town, the lagoons, pools and aqua park provide a family-friendly alternative for days when residents would rather stay in.
Because the community is inhabited all year, these facilities do not close when summer ends, especially since the Red Sea stays relatively warm even in winter.

Makadi Heights Delivery Dates
Construction on the phases currently on sale began in August 2024, with handover scheduled by the end of 2027, while Siyal is expected to be delivered in Q1 2029.
Ready-to-move units are also available in completed phases for buyers who want immediate handover.
All units are delivered fully finished, including lower kitchen cabinets with countertops, PVC windows with thermal and acoustic insulation, and Triple Play outlets for internet, telephone and TV.
Makadi Heights Amenities and Facilities
The community’s services are designed so residents rarely need to leave, making a trip into Hurghada a choice rather than a necessity.
The facilities fall into two groups: features unique to the project and everyday essentials.
The Clubhouse and Beach Club
The clubhouse spans 33,000 m², making it one of the largest social clubs in any Red Sea resort.
It includes a main swimming pool with a pool bar, a fully equipped gym, a restaurant, padel, tennis and football courts, and a large kids’ play area, complemented by the beach club on Makadi Bay with its lounging areas and water activities.
Lagoons and Water Features
Water is central to the masterplan. Crystal lakes, lagoons and man-made streams run between the residential phases, and some reach the gardens of ground-floor units directly, as in the Bayou phase.
A dedicated kids’ aqua park and shared pools scattered between buildings add even more swimming options close to every home.
Hospital, Schools and Places of Worship
What makes permanent living possible at Makadi Heights is the fully equipped hospital with 24-hour emergency care inside the project, along with a clinic and pharmacy, schools and a nursery, and both a mosque and a church.
It is rare to find all of these services together in a coastal resort.
Infrastructure at Makadi Heights
Orascom builds the core infrastructure of all its destinations itself, from electricity, water and sewage networks to public utilities.
At Makadi Heights, these networks run year-round because the town has been home to permanent residents since 2022, so services do not wind down in winter the way they do at summer-only resorts.
Telecommunications reach every home through Triple Play outlets for internet, telephone and TV.
The developer has not yet published details on the water source or whether the project has its own desalination plant, so buyers can confirm this with the sales team.

The Summer Experience at Makadi Heights
Life at Makadi Heights is shaped by three things: an elevation that keeps the sea in front of you at every moment, the calm of Makadi Bay far from the crowds of central Hurghada, and a full set of services that lets you spend an entire holiday without leaving the gate.
A Day in Your Life at Makadi Heights
You wake up to sunlight bouncing off the sea below.
You carry your coffee out to the terrace and watch the water shift from grey to turquoise, then gather the family and catch the first shuttle to the beach club.
Within minutes your feet are in the sand, well before the midday heat sets in.
You spend the morning swimming in the calm water and snorkeling over the nearby reefs, where colorful fish gather just a few meters from shore.
Back in town, you have lunch at one of the clubhouse restaurants while the kids race to the aqua park, then take a short break in the shade of your balcony, watching small boats return to the bay with divers on board.
In the afternoon, you choose between the pool overlooking the lagoon or a game of padel with friends.
As the sun dips behind the mountains, you take a walk along the green paths between the terraces or stop by the mall for dinner supplies.
The night ends with a quiet meal on your terrace, the lights of the bay twinkling far below and the air noticeably cooler than it is down by the shore.
Why Invest in Makadi Heights Hurghada
The investment case for Makadi Heights rests on measurable factors rather than broad promises:
- Year-round rental demand: Hurghada is as much a winter destination for European tourists as it is a summer destination for Egyptians, and the community has been inhabited since 2022, so your unit can be rented across all 12 months of the year.
- Low entry cost: Offers with a 0% down payment and installments of up to 8 years let you buy now and cover part of your installments with rental income after handover.
- A wide range of price points: The gap between a studio from EGP 7,100,000 and a Siyal townhouse from EGP 19,500,000 gives investors options for different budgets within the same project.
- Built-in rental infrastructure: The airport is about a quarter of an hour away and the Go Bus station sits at the gate, both of which make units more attractive to short-stay tenants.
- Developer strength: Orascom operates hotels within Makadi Heights as part of a portfolio of 24 hotels in Egypt, which supports the long-term operation of services and the standard of the community.
Why Invest in Hurghada?
Hurghada receives direct flights from most European capitals throughout the year, and demand for holiday homes is increasingly shifting toward the city as a destination that works in winter too.
