The Med Ras El Hekma is People and Places Real Estate Development’s first coastal project, and the company has gone noticeably big with it. The village sits at kilometer 195 on the North Coast, covers 307 feddans, and fronts an 800-meter beach on the Mediterranean. It is designed at an elevation of 49 meters above sea level, which keeps the weather noticeably cooler than sea-level sites and gives most units an unobstructed view over the water.
Overview of The Med North Coast
The units mix at The Med Ras El Hekma is wider than what most North Coast villages offer at this scale: chalets starting at 122 sqm, townhouses from 186 sqm, and standalone villas from 236 sqm. Prices start at EGP 14,012,000, with payment options beginning at a 5% down payment spread over six to eight years.
The project also includes a five-star hotel operating on-site, which sets it apart from purely residential coastal villages.
Location of The Med North Coast
The Med Ras El Hekma is at kilometer 195 on the Alexandria-Matrouh Desert Road, placing it in the Ras El Hekma bay area one of the more scenic and increasingly developed stretches of Egypt’s North Coast. The Dabaa Road runs nearby, which makes reaching the village from Cairo or Alexandria reasonably straightforward compared to villages further west.
Being at km 195 puts The Med in a mid-range position on the coast: far enough from the congested km 110-135 stretch around Sahel to feel genuinely remote, close enough to the services and infrastructure of El Alamein and Sidi Abdel Rahman to not feel cut off. The elevation of 49 meters above sea level is worth noting it means cooler air movement through the site and views that clear the surrounding terrain.
Nearby Landmarks to The Med Ras El Hekma
The surrounding area of The Med Ras El Hekma reflects the rapid growth and development taking place across the North Coast, especially within the Ras El Hekma corridor, which has become one of the region’s most sought-after coastal destinations.

Design of The Med Ras El Hekma
People and Places brought in an external architecture firm to handle the design, and the visual language draws from European coastal towns whitewashed facades, layered terracing, and a layout that works with the slope of the land rather than flattening it. The 49-meter elevation is part of the design logic: The Med Ras El Hekma steps down toward the beach, so lower units are closer to the water while higher units get cleaner sightlines over the whole site.
The balance between built area and open space leans heavily toward the latter. Across 307 feddans, the project includes artificial lakes, cascading water features, and landscaped gardens interspersed between residential clusters.
The 800-meter beach frontage is distributed so that most unit types have a direct or near-direct relationship with the waterfront, rather than being stacked inland with only a partial view.
The architecture references a European Mediterranean style rather than the typical generic coastal compound look common in Egypt. Whether that holds up in execution is worth verifying with a site visit, but the concept is at least clearly defined.

Area of The Med North Coast
The total land area of The Med Ras El Hekma is 307 feddans, which is a large footprint by North Coast standards. The site is organized around the beach, with the 800-meter shoreline acting as the anchor point for the layout. Artificial lakes and water features extend inland from the beach, creating water views for units that sit behind the beachfront row.
The elevation profile of the site rising to 49 meters at its highest point means the village has a natural terracing effect. Units at different elevations offer different experiences: those near the beach have immediate water access, while those higher up tend to have broader panoramic views over the site and sea.

Investment Opportunity at The Med North Coast
Ras El Hekma has attracted a lot of attention since the Egyptian government moved forward with large-scale development agreements in the area. Land values in the bay have risen considerably, and the pipeline of planned infrastructure roads, utilities, and eventually tourism facilities point to continued demand in the medium term.
The Med Ras El Hekma sits at km 195, which is well-positioned within Ras El Hekma’s core development zone. Units with beach or lake views in a village of this scale tend to retain rental appeal through the summer season, and five-star hotel services on-site make the village more rentable than standard chalets-only compounds.
For buyers considering resale, the early phases of a large coastal project typically carry the strongest appreciation potential, assuming the developer delivers on schedule. People and Places has prior projects in the residential sector, though The Med is their first coastal development, which is worth factoring into any investment calculation alongside the strong location fundamentals.

The company positions itself around site selection as a core differentiator, placing projects in areas with strong infrastructure and long-term appreciation potential. Ras El Hekma fits that logic the bay has been one of the more strategically discussed coastal zones in Egypt, and the government’s development push has increased interest from both buyers and competing developers.
