Mar Bay Ras El Hekma Village by Al Marasem Development

Mar Bay Ras El Hekma is a coastal resort at Kilo 191 on the Alexandria–Matrouh Road, set on a private sandy beach stretching 1.2 km along the Mediterranean, with another 1,050 meters of sandy beaches running along its swimmable lagoons.

It is the first coastal project launched by Al Marasem Development, placed right in the heart of the Ras El Hekma bay.

The resort spans 640 feddans and runs 2.2 km deep from the coastal road to the shoreline.

The master plan uses the natural rise of the land to spread the homes across five cascading terraces, so units in the back rows still look out over the sea or the lagoons, while buildings take up only 16% of the total area.

Units range from chalets and penthouses to townhouses, twin houses and standalone villas.

Chalet prices start from EGP 14,028,000 with a 5% down payment and installments over up to 8 years with no interest.

Every unit is delivered fully finished with air conditioning and a fitted kitchen, and an international hotel built on a peninsula reaching into the sea keeps the resort running well beyond the summer season.

Mar Bay Ras El Hekma

The Meaning of the Name Mar Bay

The name combines two parts. “Mar” is the prefix Al Marasem now uses across its newest projects, such as Marville and Mar Residence, turning it into a brand signature, and it also means “sea” in Spanish and Portuguese.

“Bay” is a direct description of the location, inside the Ras El Hekma bay, where the curve of the coastline shelters the water from strong currents and keeps it calm.

Mar Bay Ras El Hekma Project Overview

Al Marasem launched Mar Bay in June 2024 under the slogan “The Legacy of Excellence Broadens”, as its third integrated community after Fifth Square in New Cairo and Marville in New Zayed, and its first step outside Greater Cairo.

The company acts as the general and exclusive developer of the project.

The plot does not sit on a single level.

It rises gradually as it moves away from the beach, and the master plan turns this change in elevation into five consecutive terraces.

Each terrace sits above the one in front of it, which lets the back rows see the sea over the rooftops of the front rows instead of facing the backs of other buildings.

The master plan was designed by BDP, one of the largest architecture and planning firms in the world, with more than 60 years of experience on major projects. The design is built around low density: the built-up footprint is small compared to the size of the land, and the rest is shared between landscaping and water features.

Inside the resort, the lagoons work like water corridors that connect the residential clusters to each other and end directly at the sea, so water is visible in almost every direction. Movement inside the community is largely pedestrian, supported by electric transport that links the different sectors to the beach and the commercial area.

Mar Bay Ras El Hekma master plan

The unit mix covers ground-floor chalets with gardens, typical-floor chalets, penthouses and duplexes, along with townhouses, twin houses and standalone villas, plus beachfront serviced residences.

This variety makes the resort a fit both for large families looking for a villa with a spacious garden and for investors who prefer a smaller chalet that is easier to rent out.

What sets Mar Bay apart from its neighbors in Ras El Hekma is the international hotel built on a peninsula extending into the sea.

The hotel brings activity and hospitality services that continue outside the summer months, and construction on site started in June 2026.

Mar Bay Ras El Hekma Beach

The resort’s private sandy beach runs for 1.2 km directly on the Mediterranean, inside the Ras El Hekma bay, which is known for its soft white sand and calm turquoise water.

The curve of the bay softens the waves and currents compared to the more exposed beaches further east along the North Coast.

The beach serves every resident without exception, as it is reserved for unit owners and hotel guests only.

It sits at the end of a 2.2 km deep site, so the developer connected the back sectors to the sea with internal electric transport and long pedestrian paths running between the terraces.

Alongside the sea, the internal lagoons add 1,050 meters of sandy beaches. These are swimmable lakes connected directly to the sea and designed with real sandy shores instead of tiled pool edges, so residents in the back rows have a beach close to home without heading down to the main shoreline every day.

Beach facilities include a beach club on the waterfront serving food and drinks, a seating area with sunbeds and umbrellas, and a beach cinema for summer evenings.

Details on lifeguard teams, their working hours and whether a ladies-only section is planned can be confirmed with the sales team at booking.

Water Activities at Mar Bay Ras El Hekma

The resort brings together three different water spaces: the private sea beach with its water activities, the calm lagoons that suit long swims and children playing in shallow water, and the aqua park and swimming pools spread across the sectors.

Part of these activities keeps running outside the summer season thanks to the international hotel, which operates all year.

Mar Bay Ras El Hekma Location

The resort sits at Kilo 191 on the Alexandria–Matrouh Road, in the heart of the Ras El Hekma bay, directly next to Mountain View Ras El Hekma.

It is part of a coastal strip that has become one of the most in-demand areas among the best Ras El Hekma villages over the past two years.

The area’s value climbed after the signing of the USD 35 billion Ras El Hekma development deal between the Egyptian government and the UAE’s ADQ, with Modon acting as master developer of a fully integrated city.

You can read more about the Modon Ras El Hekma project and its impact on the area around Mar Bay.

The project is about 15 km from the Dabaa Axis, which shortens the drive from Cairo, while Alamein International Airport is only 49 km away.

That makes flying in a practical option for owners coming from abroad or from Upper Egypt.

Mar Bay Ras El Hekma Payment Plans

Mar Bay Ras El Hekma Delivery Date

The delivery date set for the current phase is December 2030, after construction began in June 2026.

All units are handed over fully finished, including air conditioning and kitchen cabinets, which saves owners the cost and time of finishing and makes the unit ready to live in or rent out from the first summer after handover.

Mar Bay Ras El Hekma Amenities and Facilities

The facilities at Mar Bay are designed for long stays rather than quick weekend trips, so they are spread between the beach, the hotel, the commercial area, and the sports and wellness zones.

These are the features that set the project apart.

Lagoons Connected to the Sea

The internal lagoon beaches stretch for 1,050 meters, and the lakes connect directly to the sea instead of being closed water bodies.

Wide sandy beaches surround them within short distances of every unit, turning the lagoon into a second beach right outside the door, ideal for children, older family members and anyone who prefers calm water over open-sea waves.

International Hotel on the Peninsula

The international hotel is built on a peninsula reaching into the sea, and it is joined by a group of beachfront serviced residences that receive hotel-style hospitality and housekeeping.

This hotel presence keeps restaurants and services running outside the summer season, and it allows serviced residence owners to benefit from the hotel’s management system.

Five Terraces and Open Views

The buildings step down across five terraces that follow the natural rise of the land along the project’s depth.

Each terrace overlooks the sea above the one in front of it, a planning solution that raises the value of the back units and gives them views close to those of the front row rather than leaving them fully blocked.

Clubhouse and Wellness Areas

The project includes a main residents’ clubhouse and a beach club on the sea, along with a spa, dedicated yoga and meditation zones and an open-air gym.

A community center hosts events and sunset gatherings, and work-from-home friendly units serve residents who spend several weeks in a row at the resort.

Infrastructure at Mar Bay Ras El Hekma

The project lies within Ras El Hekma, which is seeing the largest infrastructure development plan on the North Coast as part of the Modon deal.

Inside the resort, Mar Bay relies on electric transport and eco-friendly systems that reduce car traffic between sectors.

Details on the electricity source and whether it is available year-round, the water source and whether a private desalination plant is planned, and the telecom network and fiber internet are points buyers should request in writing from the sales team before signing, as they matter most to anyone planning to stay beyond the summer.

The Summer Experience at Mar Bay Ras El Hekma

Summer at Mar Bay feels different from traditional single-row villages.

The water is not only at the far end of the project; it runs between the homes as lagoons and sandy beaches, the cascading terraces keep the sea in view even for those living far from the shore, and the low density gives the resort a rare calm at the peak of August.

Your Day at Mar Bay Ras El Hekma

You start your morning with a cup of coffee on your terrace, the turquoise sea showing above the terraces in front of you.

Then you head down with the kids to the nearby lagoon beach before the sun climbs, and they splash in the shallow water while you swim in the deeper section.

After breakfast on the terrace, an electric shuttle takes you to the main beach in minutes.

At midday you settle under an umbrella on the white sand and order a light lunch from the beach club.

Then you leave the family by the water and head for a spa session or a workout at the open-air gym overlooking the sea.

Later, the afternoon slips by between the aqua park and the padel court.

At sunset, the stepped facades turn orange, and you stroll along the paths beside the lagoons to the commercial strip, choosing a sea-view restaurant for a seafood dinner.

Before the day ends, you sit with friends in front of the beach cinema screen while the kids fall asleep on the loungers.

Why Invest in Mar Bay Ras El Hekma

Several factors come together at Mar Bay to support the long-term value of each unit:

• Location within the Ras El Hekma deal:

the USD 35 billion deal is turning the area from a strip of summer resorts into an integrated city that

runs all year, and every improvement in the surrounding infrastructure and services reflects directly on

resale and rental prices.

• Low building density:

a built-up ratio of only 16% on 640 feddans means fewer units and more open space, an advantage

that protects resale value compared to crowded villages.

• Serviced residences:

an international hotel managing the beachfront serviced residences lets owners benefit from professional

hotel management instead of searching for tenants themselves, which suits investors living outside

Egypt.

• Low entry cost:

a 5% down payment and 8 years of interest-free installments mean a large part of the unit’s price is

paid after handover, while its market value keeps growing with the area.

• Fully finished on delivery:

receiving the unit with ACs and a kitchen shortens the gap between handover and the first rental

contract, making it ready for its first season straight away.

Why Invest in the North Coast?

Over recent years, the North Coast has become a year-round destination thanks to New Alamein City, Alamein International Airport and the Dabaa Axis.

The Ras El Hekma deal then brought foreign investment into the heart of the region, pushing up demand for coastal homes close to these national projects.
