New Launch

Two new phases now releasing.

The first two phases of Alam Al Roum are now releasing — Sealine Estates on the Mediterranean shoreline, and Sandside Lagoons around the swimmable lagoons.

Overview & Vision
01

Egypt's Mediterranean, restored.

Along 7.2 kilometres of Mediterranean shoreline, fifteen minutes from Marsa Matrouh International Airport, a 4,902-feddan coastal city is taking shape. Within a short flight of Europe and the Gulf, it introduces a new standard for coastal living.

Masterplanned by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), the city is designed as one connected destination. A grand boulevard links the shoreline to the heart of the city, while twenty-eight kilometres of swimmable lagoons bring the water into every neighbourhood. Distinct districts are connected by a continuous landscape spine, creating a walkable city with a strong sense of place.

Designed for year-round living and generations to come.

The Marina

A place on the Mediterranean's yachting map.

01

The International Marina

At the heart of the city, an international standard marina designed and operated by Marina Projects — one of the world's leading marina specialists — built to receive vessels of significant scale. Its waterfront promenade of dining and retail draws residents and visitors from dawn into the night.

02

Town Center Marina

A second, intimate harbour offers fifty berths for residents' yachts and boats, thoughtfully scaled to the rhythm of everyday boating, moments from home.

03

Royal Quarter

For the most exclusive addresses in Alam Al Roum, the water comes to the door. Private docking allows residents to keep a vessel within their own grounds.

“Everyday access to the Mediterranean.”

The Masterplan
02

A city shaped by water.

The masterplan extends from the Mediterranean inward, creating a seamless relationship between land and water. Residential districts, hospitality destinations, commercial centres, public spaces, and waterfront experiences are connected through a unified framework of mobility, landscape, and lagoons.

Locally

7.2 km of naturally sheltered shoreline on the bay of Alam Al Roum. Fifteen minutes from Marsa Matrouh International Airport. Connected by the Alexandria–Matrouh coastal road.

Regionally

Within a short flight of Cairo, the Gulf capitals, and the major cities of Europe.

Globally

In the same latitude as the Riviera, the Costa Brava and the Greek islands — yet uncrowded, unspoiled, and at the outset of a new chapter.

“A coast with this geography does not come around twice.”

Iconic Moments

An extension to the water.

Every enduring destination is announced before it is entered. At Alam Al Roum, arrival begins at the Gateway — an architectural threshold marking the transition from coast road to coastal city. From here, the boulevard unfolds as a grand avenue leading the eye toward the water. Framed by landscape and animated by light, its central axis aligns with the summer solstice sunrise — a deliberate celebration of new horizons.

At its end stands the Lighthouse, the beacon of Alam Al Roum. Rising above the marina and Cultural Pier, it anchors the city's horizon. By day it is a landmark. By evening it becomes a flame on the Mediterranean. It is the first thing the sea sees of Alam Al Roum and the last thing held in memory.

Water Experiences

A life measured in water.

Water is the first language of Alam Al Roum: 7.2 kilometres of Mediterranean beachfront, twenty-eight of lagoon frontage, and canals that carry the sea into the city's heart.

Beachfront

The Beachfront

Alam Al Roum's shoreline is among the most generous on Egypt's North Coast — 7.2 km of soft sand along a naturally sheltered bay where calm waters invite bathing throughout the season. Each stretch of beach has its own character, from lively promenades to quiet coves. A continuous promenade traces the full length of the shore.

Lagoons

The Lagoons

Inland, twenty-two kilometres of crystalline swimmable lagoons bring the waterfront deep into the city. Homes open directly onto the water. The lagoons form the city's second coastline and the heart of family life.

Canals

The Canals

Through the city's centre, a signature canal walk animates daily life. Lined with cafés, retail and waterfront dining, it carries water taxis and quiet currents alike, connecting the boulevard to the marina in one continuous, walkable thread.

Landscape

A landscape native to this coast.

The landscape of Alam Al Roum, shaped by SWA, is the green structure that binds the city's districts into one. At its core runs the Spine: a continuous corridor of gardens, shaded walks and trails linking every neighbourhood from the Gateway to the sea — more than thirty kilometres of paths. From it, each neighbourhood draws a distinct landscape character. The planting is rooted in the place: native and climate-adapted species, sustaining biodiversity and easing the city's thirst. Beauty does the work of engineering.

Hospitality

The world's finest names, on one shore.

Alam Al Roum hosts a calibre of hospitality the Mediterranean reserves for its most celebrated coasts. Ultra-luxury resorts carry the signatures of the world's most distinguished houses, spoken in the same breath as the Riviera; between them, intimate boutique hotels offer a quieter register. Inland, wellness retreats and a longevity quarter extend hospitality into the science of living well. Across every tier, the intent holds: arrival should feel like an occasion, and every return like coming home.

The Course

A championship course between lagoon and sea.

At the northern reach of Alam Al Roum, an eighteen-hole championship course is set into the natural contours of the land — its front nine threading the edges of a natural lagoon, its back nine running along the open Mediterranean. Three signature holes are drawn directly above the sea, where play pauses for the view. A clubhouse and golf academy anchor the course, and the residences that line its fairways enjoy one of the most coveted outlooks in the city: green to one side, blue to the other.

Residences

Homes composed for a lifetime.

The homes of Alam Al Roum span the full register of coastal living — from lagoon-front apartments to standalone villas, from townhouses with sun decks on the water to the signature estates of the Royal Quarter. Each home is designed around the things that endure: natural light, generous proportion, a seamless passage between indoors and out, and a view worth waking to. Whether a first coastal address or a family seat to be passed down, these are residences built to be returned to season after season, generation after generation.

The Origin Story

Two thousand years ago, a single headland marked this coast.

Sailors crossing the open Mediterranean watched for it. When it rose from the water, they knew they were near harbour, near shelter, near home. The Romans named it a landmark. They called it Alam Al Roum.

Then, for a long time, the coast forgot. But the light that guided those ancient ships never left. The shape of the bay did not change. The calm of the sheltered water held. The coast was always waiting to be remembered. Now, it is.

Alam Al Roum is the return of this coast to its meaning, restored in full, in all its scale, all its grandeur, all its light.

“The oldest landmark on the Egyptian Mediterranean is also its newest beginning.”

06
