Alam Al Roum is the development of a fully integrated coastal city east of Marsa Matrouh, not a small seasonal village. The master plan spans around 20.58 million m², roughly 4,902 feddans, with a 7.2 km natural frontage on the Mediterranean.
Qatari Diar is developing the project in partnership with the New Urban Communities Authority, with announced total investments of USD 29.7 billion. The residential launch starts with two phases: Sandside Lagoons, which includes chalets, townhouses, twin houses and lagoon villas, and Sealine Estates, dedicated to standalone sea-view villas.
Prices start from around EGP 15.6 million for chalets, with a down payment from 5% and instalments of up to 8 years on the base plan, while delivery of the first phase begins in 2030.
The project sits on the north-western North Coast, east of Marsa Matrouh city, close to the international coastal road. Its location puts it a short distance from Marsa Matrouh International Airport and the city centre.
Location data indicates that the project is approximately:
Proximity to the airport makes the project easy to reach from Cairo or from abroad, while its position near Marsa Matrouh gives access to existing services outside the new city's boundaries during the early stages of construction.
The plan includes a connection to the regional transport network, with around 10 km linked to the planned high-speed rail route, along with more than 30 km of roads and internal circulation routes.
