Shams Soma Red Sea by Marakez | Prices & Payment Plans 2026

Shams Soma Red Sea is a new step for MARAKEZ Developments into the coastal property market, launching its first project on the Red Sea inside Soma Bay, one of Egypt’s leading lifestyle and coastal tourism destinations.

At kilometre 45 south of Hurghada on the Hurghada–Safaga road, Shams Soma Red Sea delivers a complete concept of life by the sea, drawing on the destination’s distinctive setting and its rare mix of stunning beaches, leisure and sports activities, and a wide range of services.

Shams Soma Red Sea village stretches over an area of up to 80 acres, with a beachfront extending around 700 metres along the Red Sea, and includes roughly 600 varied units across hotel units, chalets and standalone villas.

This variety gives the project a stronger ability to serve buyers looking for a coastal holiday home, alongside investors who want to own a unit inside a fully integrated tourist destination with a solid presence on the Red Sea tourism map.

The importance of Shams Soma village grows thanks to its position inside Soma Bay, where the owner’s experience is not limited to the project’s boundaries but extends to a complete system of facilities and marine, sports and leisure activities available across the destination.

The partnership between MARAKEZ and the Soma Bay partners on the Red Sea reflects a vision for expanding into coastal destinations that combine development quality with location strength, making Shams Soma Red Sea a project worth studying for buyers and investors alike.

Why the Project Is Named Shams Soma

The name Shams Soma reflects the project’s identity and its location at the same time. The word “Shams“, which means sun in Arabic, stands for warmth, light, energy and life — elements closely tied to the experience of staying on the Red Sea shore and enjoying its sunny weather all year round.

“Soma” refers to Soma Bay, the destination that hosts the project, so the two words come together in a name that expresses a coastal destination built on sun, sea and a complete lifestyle. The choice of name matches the nature of Shams Soma Red Sea as the first coastal project by MARAKEZ.

Shams Soma Red Sea Village Location

Shams Soma village enjoys a strategic location on the Red Sea coast, precisely at kilometre 45 on the Hurghada – Safaga road, inside the Soma Bay area, which is considered one of the most prominent coastal and tourist destinations on the Red Sea.

This location gives the project an exceptional advantage thanks to its proximity to Hurghada with all its touristic and service importance, along with easy access to Safaga and the surrounding tourist areas. That makes Shams Soma a suitable destination for anyone looking to own a coastal unit that combines calm, striking sea scenery and easy access.

Shams Soma Red Sea Resort Design

The design of Shams Soma Red Sea sets out the true meaning of coastal living, taking advantage of the project’s direct position on the Red Sea and its area of around 80 acres, which allows the units to be distributed in a considered way that protects privacy and secures the best possible benefit from the sea views.

A tiered design was adopted for the buildings and units, so the architectural blocks flow across the project’s land while keeping an open line of sight to the sea, with no visual barriers blocking the coastal scenery.

The villas inside Shams Soma resort feature a low-rise architectural design, consisting of ground, first and second floors, which preserves the calm character of the project and gives the units an architectural presence in harmony with the nature of the coastal destination.

All units were also designed detached from one another, which delivers a higher level of privacy for residents and gives each unit more independence and comfort, away from the crowding common in some coastal projects.

The overall design of the units relies on a coastal architectural character in tune with the Red Sea setting, with the units oriented in a studied way that allows all of them to enjoy direct panoramic sea views.

This approach makes the sea view a core part of the living experience inside Shams Soma, so the project’s value is not limited to its proximity to the beach alone.

It extends to the design and distribution of the units in a way that enhances the enjoyment of nature and open views, bringing privacy, low heights, tiered architecture and sea views together in a single vision of coastal living.

Investment Advantages at Shams Soma Red Sea

Investing in Shams Soma Red Sea represents a promising opportunity for anyone looking to own a unit inside one of Egypt’s most important coastal destinations, particularly with the project launched by MARAKEZ Developments inside Soma Bay, a destination with strong touristic and coastal fundamentals.

The project’s investment value does not rest on owning a holiday unit alone, but on a set of factors that may support demand for the units and their value in the future, most notably:

• Investing inside an established coastal destination: Shams Soma sits inside Soma Bay, an integrated Red Sea destination known for its variety of activities and services, which gives the project an advantage beyond the idea of a traditional coastal village.
• A beachfront extending around 700 metres: the large beachfront provides an important competitive advantage, especially with rising demand for units with direct views and a complete sea experience.
• A strategic location on the Hurghada–Safaga road: the project’s location connects the most important cities and tourist destinations on the Red Sea and places it close to Hurghada, its international airport and the city of Safaga, supporting easy access and increasing its appeal for personal use and investment.
• Variety of units and sizes: the project includes hotel units, chalets and standalone villas with sizes starting from 96 square metres up to 302 square metres, a variety that allows it to target different client segments, whether buyers looking for smaller holiday units or larger villas for long-term investment.
• The ability to benefit from tourism demand: the Red Sea enjoys strong tourist activity, and with the project located inside an integrated tourist destination, this can represent a good opportunity for investors looking to benefit from demand for coastal stays and hotel-style units, according to the operating and management mechanisms that will be officially announced.
• The strength of the developer: launching MARAKEZ’s first coastal project on the Red Sea adds a core element to the development, especially given the company’s experience in developing destinations and commercial and residential projects, which may support client confidence in execution and management quality over the long term.
• Design privacy and sea views: the project relies on a tiered, low-rise distribution of units, with villas designed over limited floors and units detached from one another, enhancing privacy and raising the appeal of the unit at resale or for rental.
• Benefiting from the integrated Soma Bay system: one of the most important investment strengths is that the unit owner does not rely only on the project’s internal services, but also benefits from a complete tourism, leisure and sports system that includes beaches, marine activities, golf, restaurants and various services inside Soma Bay.
• An opportunity for capital growth: investing in a coastal project inside a strong tourist destination is an opportunity to benefit from the potential rise in unit value as construction phases progress and demand for coastal property grows, especially alongside infrastructure development and increasing interest in the Red Sea region.
