Gaia North Coast village by Al Ahly Sabbour sits on kilometer 194 of the Alexandria–Marsa Matrouh Road in the heart of Ras El Hekma, with a private 100% sandy beach extending 600 meters directly on the Mediterranean Sea, a master plan signed by global architects Chapman Taylor across 280 acres, and a project depth of 1,800 meters from the coastal road to the shoreline.
The project offers a wide variety of units including chalets, standalone villas, town houses, twin houses, and duplexes with built-up areas starting from 121 sqm up to 284 sqm, at competitive prices starting from EGP 29,700,000 for the town villa, with a 10% down payment and installments over 7 years across 28 equal quarterly payments, fully finished to high specifications.
Gaia features a low building density of just 20%, with 65% dedicated to landscaping and 45,000 sqm of water features and swimmable lagoons.
The resort hosts the year-round KYND 01 Hotel and upscale Bar Du Port restaurant on the seafront, making it a complete destination throughout the year rather than a summer-only village, with Chapman Taylor’s signature design blending Mediterranean style with contemporary Arabian architecture.
The Meaning Behind the Name Gaia
The name Gaia derives from the ancient Greek goddess of Earth in Hellenic mythology, a symbol of fertility, abundance, and harmony between humans and nature.
Al Ahly Sabbour selected this name to reflect the project’s philosophy of integrating residential units with surrounding green and water bodies in a single living fabric.
The developer’s commitment to this philosophy shows in dedicating 65% of the total area to landscaping and 45,000 sqm to swimmable water features, while built-up areas occupy only 20%, ensuring an open, spacious atmosphere defines every corner of the village.
A Detailed Overview of Gaia North Coast
Gaia North Coast stretches along a 600-meter coastal strip, with master planning entrusted to the award-winning UK firm Chapman Taylor, which created a layout merging contemporary Mediterranean style with modern Arabian architecture and Spanish Hacienda touches, producing a distinct visual identity unlike any other project in the area.
The development follows a concept of private courts and clusters, with units arranged around small water features and green pockets rather than placed in dense rows, ensuring no unit faces another directly.
A minimum distance of 8 meters separates each unit from its neighbor, while a gradual elevation between 3 and 45 meters above sea level grants every inner row a clear water view.
The project unfolds across several phases launched in sequence, most notably Jasmine, Camilla Lagoon, Coast, Skaia, and Quinta.
The early phases have already been delivered with the beach and core services fully operational, while the final phases are under construction with delivery scheduled for the second half of 2028.
At the heart of the design lies the central Landscape Area covering 31,575 sqm of trees and walking trails, with the Signature Pool taking center stage at 4,300 sqm, one of the largest swimming pools in the North Coast.
Facades use premium natural stone and wood in beige, white, soft grey, and warm tones — chosen to withstand the coastal climate and resist moisture and salinity long-term.

The Beach at Gaia North Coast
The private Gaia beach extends across a direct seafront of 600 meters, a 100% sandy shoreline reserved exclusively for village residents, with crystal turquoise waters considered among the purest in the North Coast thanks to Ras El Hekma’s geographic position away from surface water outlets.
The entire waterfront serves Gaia residents alone, with no sharing with neighboring projects.
In the front row, villas and chalets overlook the sea directly at distances of mere meters from the water, while the farthest unit sits 612 meters from the shoreline, accessible on foot through internal pathways or via electric golf carts available within the village.
The gradual land slope between 3 and 45 meters above sea level ensures every unit receives a sea breeze and horizon view.
The beach is fully equipped with sunbeds, parasols, luxury cabanas, changing rooms, and showers, with the international Mai Tai restaurant operating directly on the seafront.
Lifeguard services are available throughout the season alongside first-aid medical stations along the beach.
Water Activities at Gaia North Coast
The diversity of water activities at Gaia creates a summer experience unlike standard resorts, with 45,000 sqm of water features distributed across two swimmable lagoons and 45 swimming pools of varying sizes and depths. At the center, the 4,300 sqm Signature Pool serves as the recreational heart of the village.
Beach water sports operated by specialized companies run daily throughout summer — jet ski, kayak, banana boat, and surfing — alongside a dedicated Aqua Park designed for families and children.
Gaia North Coast Location
Gaia sits in the heart of Ras El Hekma in the North Coast, specifically on kilometer 194 of the Alexandria–Marsa Matrouh International Coastal Road, immediately after Swan Lake village and just before June Sodic.
Al Ahly Sabbour selected this kilometer for being within the most sought-after stretch of Ras El Hekma, where the water is exceptionally clear and gradual elevation grants panoramic views unavailable in neighboring kilometers.
Gaia’s location is close to the new Fouka Road exit connecting the North Coast to Cairo in record time, making access from the capital shorter than most other Ras El Hekma villages.
The project also opens onto the new development axis of New Alamein city, an area witnessing accelerated urban and investment growth.

Services and Amenities at Gaia North Coast
KYND 01 Hotel at Gaia North Coast
Gaia residents and visitors are welcomed by KYND 01, the first hotel in the Kynd Hospitality chain by Melee Developments, partnering with Al Ahly Sabbour in hospitality and Branded Residences.
The hotel operates year-round, offering a contemporary experience focused on relaxation, wellness, and boutique stays.
Its year-round operation transforms Gaia into a permanent destination and gives owners the option to rent their units throughout the year through an integrated hospitality system.
Bar Du Port Restaurant at Gaia Beach
At the heart of the seafront stands Bar Du Port, the international upscale brand renowned for Mediterranean and French menus blending fine cuisine with seafront ambiance.
A brand of this caliber within an Egyptian coastal village is an exceptional addition, serving residents, hotel guests, and visitors with an evening dining experience different from typical North Coast cafes.
Joining Bar Du Port is the Mai Tai seafood restaurant directly on the beach, alongside the Commercial Strip housing international and local restaurants, cafes, and shops.
Lagoons and the Signature Pool at Gaia North Coast
Gaia features a massive water system reaching 45,000 sqm spread across two swimmable lagoons and 45 swimming pools serving all unit types and rows. At the center lies the main Signature Pool covering 4,300 sqm, functioning as an open social hub.
Pools are distributed so no unit is more than a few dozen meters from its nearest water feature, including covered pools dedicated to women and children for family privacy.
Aqua Park and Family Entertainment Zone
Al Ahly Sabbour added a complete Aqua Park on the beach targeting families and children, with diverse water games, slides, and rides for all ages.
Alongside the Aqua Park, the project includes a closed Kids Area with safe games and educational activities, and walking and cycling paths separated from car routes for children’s safety.
Infrastructure at Gaia North Coast
One feature that distinguishes Gaia from many coastal villages is complete infrastructure that operates throughout the year, not only during summer.
Electricity connects to the high-voltage grid of the Alamein–Ras El Hekma region developed by the state as part of its North Coast plan, supported by backup generators ensuring uninterrupted supply to the hotel and vital areas.
Water relies on the new regional network for Ras El Hekma, alongside an internal treatment system. Communications include fiber optic internet and full coverage from all four mobile networks, making Gaia suitable for remote work and long-term residency.
Facades and structures are executed with moisture- and salinity-resistant specifications through natural stone and treated materials ,essential for extending building lifespan in coastal environments.

The Summer Experience at Gaia North Coast
What sets Gaia apart from other North Coast villages is that it was designed as a complete year-round destination rather than a summer escape.
The luxury hotel and international restaurants operate throughout the year, alongside a strategic location near New Alamein and the Fouka Road that makes access from Cairo fast at any time.
Unit owners enjoy their second home in summer and winter alike, experiencing genuine Mediterranean Living rather than three months a year before locking up.
A Day at Gaia North Coast
Your morning begins on the balcony with coffee while you listen to nearby sea waves. You choose between the private sandy beach where loungers and cabanas wait from early morning, or a swim in the central Signature Pool.
By midday, you head with the family to Mai Tai for fresh seafood lunch, then take the kids to the Aqua Park while you enjoy a spa session after a sunset run along the green trails.
As sunset approaches, the beach turns into a canvas of orange tones on turquoise waters, and the Commercial Strip welcomes the evening with warm lighting.
You book your table at Bar Du Port for an elegant Mediterranean dinner, or stroll the strip among the cafes and shops. Back at your unit at night, the village is designed so no unit faces another directly, and spacing between units keeps children’s sleep undisturbed.
Investment Advantages at Gaia North Coast
Multiple factors drive Gaia’s investment appeal, foremost that the project is already operational rather than on paper. Early phases are delivered with beach, hotel, and services in operation ,any unit in the final phases enters a ready environment upon delivery.
Al Ahly Sabbour offers a rental system through KYND 01 hotel management allowing owners to rent units throughout the year (not just summer), with professional reservation, cleaning, and maintenance management ,a rare Property Management model in North Coast villages.
Daily summer rental in the area ranges between EGP 15,000 and EGP 40,000 per night depending on unit type and view.
Kilometer 194 ranks among the most sought-after positions in the North Coast today, especially after the state-led Ras El Hekma mega-development and New Alamein’s growth as a summer capital, supporting price growth medium- and long-term.
Chapman Taylor’s design, the 100% private beach, and the massive Signature Pool maintain unit value at resale and resist depreciation.
Why Invest in the North Coast?
The Egyptian state is transforming the North Coast from a seasonal destination into integrated urban cities, through the massive Ras El Hekma project in partnership with the UAE’s ADQ fund, and New Alamein city as a summer capital with complete infrastructure, alongside the new Fouka Road that has cut travel time from Cairo to under three hours.
These shifts make coastal real estate today a long-term investment rather than just a summer house, especially in central kilometers such as 194 where Gaia sits.
