Numbers

The Wadi Yemm Ras El Hekma phase spans 2,000 acres (8.4 square kilometers) , making it larger than many entire coastal projects on the North Coast. Its building ratio is very low at FAR = 0.29 —meaning most of the land is open and dedicated to greenery, spaces, and beaches, not buildings.

Where is the Wadi Yam Ras Al Hikma phase located in the Madinah project?

The Wadi Yemm Ras El Hekma project is located in the northwestern part of the overall Ras El Hekma project, directly on the project’s waterfront. The main access route is via the Matrouh International Desert Road, and then the main entrance to the planned Ras El Hekma project is located at kilometer 350 from Alexandria.

Nearest landmarks from the Wadi Yemm Ras El Hekma project:

• El Alamein International Airport : Only 20 minutes
• New Alamein City : 25 minutes
• Alexandria — 2 hours
• Cairo — 3 hours
• The planned international airport is located within the project — 15 minutes from Ras El Hekma.
• Marsa Matrouh — 85 kilometers west

It is worth noting that the proximity of Wadi Yam Ras El Hekma to El Alamein Airport effectively means that access from Cairo and major cities is possible by air in less than an hour — which opens the door to weekly and monthly rentals for a segment that chooses flying over driving.

Who designed the Wadi Yam Ras Al Hikma?

The design in Wadi Yam was not entrusted to one entity — it was consciously distributed across two separate disciplines.

Broadway Malyan, the global British firm , undertook the overall master plan for the neighborhood—detailing the layout of areas, units, and services, and how people move within the neighborhood from the beach to the boulevard to the villas. Broadway Malyan’s portfolio includes developments on three continents, and its involvement here signifies that the urban planning adhered to standards uncompromising on commercial interests.

AEDAS is an international design firm specializing in the architectural design of chalets and villas—the visual identity of the buildings, the relationship between the facade and nature, and the proportions of openings and lighting. AEDAS operates in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, London, and Hong Kong, and delivers luxury residential projects, particularly in coastal settings.

What is the Wadi Yam Ras Al Hikma project?

Wadi Yemm Ras El Hekma is not just a beach with some services — it is an integrated neighborhood with 14 interconnected components that work together to create a living and leisure experience that cannot be completed by any one component alone:

• The main boulevard (1.3 km) — a luxurious shopping street with a Mediterranean feel, featuring international brand boutiques and upscale restaurants, resembling Barcelona’s Las Ramblas in length and character.
• The Corniche Beach (1.6 km) — Shopping and dining directly on the Mediterranean Sea, longer than Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach Walk, makes an evening on the beach a complete social experience.
• Natural beaches (2.5 km) — pristine sand and open sea for swimming all day long without overcrowding
• The Roman Theatre (10,000 seats) — Inspired by Roman theatres with a modern twist, it hosts concerts, festivals and international events
• Natural lakes (30,000 m²) — equivalent to 25 times the size of an Olympic swimming pool, a body of water that can be swum in and is not just decorative
• The coastal park (230,000 m²) — a green space adjacent to the beach that forms a natural belt between the units and the sea
• Two championship golf courses (2 x 18 holes) — both by international championship standards, their presence within the neighborhood elevates the tenant and resident’s status.
• Golf Club — Course Services Centre with social facilities, changing rooms and training equipment
• The Equestrian Center (108,500 m²) — for beginners and professionals, one of the largest equestrian centers on the Egyptian coast
• Sports center (31,000 m²) — various facilities including tennis, squash, padel and competitive swimming pools
• 7 luxury hotels — with new international brands entering Egypt, ensuring a steady flow of hospitality within the district
• Branded Residences — residential units bearing a global hotel brand — are managed and maintained to hotel standards while retaining all the privacy of private property.
• The iconic Lighthouse — the neighborhood’s visual landmark, visible from the sea and forming Wadi Yam’s visual identity among the seventeen neighborhoods
• Country Club — the social club for residents of Wadi Yemm Ras El Hekma neighborhood, featuring recreational facilities, community gatherings, and private spaces.

Units in Wadi Yam Ras Al Hikma

Wadi Yam offers four phases covering different levels of luxury and various types of real estate assets. The common denominator across all phases is complete finishing, including air conditioning and a kitchen, without exception.

Boulevard Apartments in Wadi Yemm Phase

Boulevard Apartments are located within or near the main commercial strip, combining easy access to daily services, restaurants, and shops with views of the promenade and the sea. Ideal for short- and long-term rentals, ideal for those seeking a complete urban living experience on the coast.

The most requested configuration is a two-room apartment of 145 meters with a starting price of £21,000,000 — the point of equilibrium between space, price and rental yield.

Beach Plaza Apartments — The highest standard in Yam Valley Apartments

Beach Plaza offers the same configurations as the Boulevard but with a location closer to the waterfront and a higher level of finishing, and adds household appliances to the full finishing as part of the contract — making it ready for immediate rental at no additional cost from the owner.

Townhouse in Wadi Yemm Ras El Hekma

West Valley is located in the western part of the neighborhood, overlooking green spaces and lakes, and is a reasonable distance from the beach. Townhouses here offer the privacy of a villa at a lower price than detached villas—with private gardens and multi-level layouts.

East Valley Villas

The standalone villas in Wadi East represent the pinnacle of the Wadi Yam Ras Al Hekma development. Two designs are available: the Spanish style with its warm facades and the Mediterranean style with its clean lines—both designed by AEDAS to ensure visual harmony with the project and maximize the sea views.

The area starts from 253 meters for a three-bedroom villa and goes up to 376 meters for a five-bedroom villa — with a private garden, private pool and complete privacy of the independent residence.

Payment and installment system in the Wadi Yemm Ras El Hekma project

Payment terms in Wadi Yam Ras Al Hikma evolve with the project’s phases and are reviewed periodically. The general principle in the Ras Al Hikma Emirati cities projects is to offer payment plans that suit different segments, ranging from low down payments to extended installments.

The installment system for the Wadi Yemm phase: 5% down payment and the remaining amount of the unit value to be paid in installments over 8 years.

Features of the Wadi Yam Ras Al Hikma project

• The first of 17 districts — Early entry into a full-fledged city project means the launch price and best location before the surrounding infrastructure is completed
• 4.5 km of unspoiled coastline — truly natural beaches, uncrowded and untouched by external developments
• FAR = 0.29 — Exceptional building density means spacious areas and genuine visual privacy between units
• 14 components in one neighborhood — a service diversity not available in most complete coastal projects in Egypt
• Fully finished with air conditioning and kitchen in all units — ready to rent from the day of handover at no extra cost
• Beach Plaza with home appliances — the complete hotel entry point without any shortcomings
• 7 international hotels within the district — ensuring hospitality activity and rental demand from an international segment
• Broadway Malyan and AEDAS — Urban and architectural design with documented international references
• A Roman-style theater with 10,000 spectators — making Wadi Yam Ras Al Hekma an international events destination, not just a summer resort

Notes before purchasing in Wadi Yam, Ras Al Hekma cities

Prices reflect level and location: The difference between an apartment in Wadi Yam Ras Al Hekma and a chalet at kilometer 100 on the traditional coast is not a difference in perceived value, but rather in the nature of the asset, its returns, and the segment of its users.

The first district of a city that is not yet complete: Investing here involves a great opportunity for capital growth as the city is completed, but it requires an extended time horizon measured in years, not months.

Full finishing is factored into the comparison: When comparing Wadi Yemm Ras El Hekma’s prices with other summer projects, keep in mind that full finishing adds 15,000 to 25,000 Egyptian pounds per square meter above the cost of the core work. The actual price difference is smaller than it initially appears.

Our view on the Wadi Yemm Ras El Hekma project

Wadi Yam Ras Al Hikma is more than just the first phase of a project—it’s the initial bet on the Ras Al Hikma concept. Those who invest in it today are betting that coastal cities built from scratch with sovereign guarantees and world-class infrastructure are reshaping the region’s tourism investment landscape—a bet supported by Dubai’s precedents in the 1990s.

But the gamble is being taken with awareness, not enthusiasm. The city will need time to reach completion, and the maximum rental yield will come as the infrastructure matures and the hotels, theater, and facilities become operational. Those planning for this future will find Wadi Yam to be a different story altogether than buying in the summer.

Who is Wadi Yam Ras Al Hikma suitable for?

The investor with a long-term perspective: Those who think in terms of 10-15 years see the accumulated value with the completion of 17 neighborhoods of a city with independent infrastructure and a sovereign Emirati guarantee.

For the wealthy individual seeking an international-level asset: a fully finished unit in a LEED Gold-standard project with a Broadway Malyan design is a qualitatively different asset in any portfolio.

For those residing outside Egypt: Fully finished and hotel-style management is available for the units, meaning the possibility of renting without the need for self-management.

Seeking a long-term seasonal return: Wadi Yemm project with hotels, a Roman theater, golf courses and a commercial promenade extends the season beyond the traditional summer.

Who is the Wadi Yemm Ras El Hekma project not suitable for?

For those seeking immediate rental returns within the first two years—the Wadi Yam Ras Al Hekma phase is still under construction and infrastructure is incomplete. For those looking for prices comparable to traditional chalets—the prices here reflect a completely different standard. And for those who prefer a fully serviced, established project—Wadi Yam is currently under construction, with services being added in phases.

Misr Development Company launches a new phase in its most important project on the coast: Salt North Coast .

Basic services and facilities in the Wadi Yemm Ras El Hekma project

In addition to the 14 main components, Wadi Yam Ras Al Hikma offers a system of daily services that manage the normal life of the residents:

Business and transportation services: Pedestrian-only streets in central residential areas. Over 10 kilometers of dedicated cycle paths. Direct walking access to the Corniche and beach from most units.

Sustainability: A smart, LEED Gold-compliant design reduces energy consumption year-round. Building materials are selected to minimize the carbon footprint. Water resources are managed using modern systems.
