Turquoise North Coast — Dar Al Maghraby's Crystal-Blue Resort in Sidi Abdel Rahman
The name isn't accidental. Turquoise North Coast was named for the color of the Mediterranean water that fronts it — the same striking blue-green that makes Sidi Abdel Rahman one of the most photographed stretches of coastline in Egypt. Developer Dar Al Maghraby took that natural palette and made it the design identity of the entire project: buildings in shades of sea blue, interiors that frame the water, and a master plan built around crystal lagoons that carry the turquoise color deep into the heart of the compound.
Turquoise North Coast sits at Kilometer 137 on the Alexandria-Matrouh Road, in the prime Sidi Abdel Rahman zone — a location flanked by some of Egypt's most established and prestigious coastal communities including Hacienda Bay and Hacienda White. The project covers 108 feddans, allocates 82% of its land to green spaces and water features, and delivers a unit mix that spans cabanas, chalets, duplexes, penthouses, townhouses, twin houses, and standalone villas — one of the widest unit variety ranges of any single North Coast compound.
This guide covers everything you need to evaluate Turquoise seriously: the developer's history, the location argument, the architectural approach, the unit details, the amenities, and the investment case for both Egyptian and Gulf buyers.

Dar Al Maghraby Developments — Nearly Four Decades of Egyptian Real Estate Excellence
Dar Al Maghraby Developments was founded in 1986 under the leadership of Engineer Mohamed Al Maghraby — which means the company has been active in Egyptian real estate for nearly 40 years. In an industry where many developers are relatively new entrants riding recent market cycles, that longevity is genuinely significant. It means Dar Al Maghraby has built through multiple Egyptian economic cycles, survived market downturns, and consistently produced projects that hold value and deliver what was promised.
The company specializes in both Egyptian and Gulf real estate development — a dual-market expertise that gives it a particular relevance for Gulf buyers. A developer with active operations and experience in Gulf real estate markets understands the expectations of Saudi, Emirati, Kuwaiti, and Qatari buyers in a way that purely domestic Egyptian developers often don't. That understanding shows in how Turquoise has been positioned: with a hotel-grade lifestyle infrastructure, premium unit specifications, and a visual design identity strong enough to compete with the Gulf coastal resort developments that GCC buyers are accustomed to.
The company's geographic footprint spans Cairo, Alexandria, and the North Coast — a diverse portfolio that reflects institutional capability rather than single-market specialization. Dar Al Maghraby has not just built in one zone and then attempted to replicate that success elsewhere. It has built meaningfully in multiple Egyptian markets, which creates a depth of local knowledge and contractor relationships that directly benefits project execution quality.
Dar Al Maghraby Developments — Key Projects
- Morouj Compound — 6th of October City: An established residential compound in West Cairo that delivered quality housing to one of Cairo's most in-demand suburban markets. A delivered, occupied project that demonstrates Dar Al Maghraby's ability to execute urban residential at scale.
- Al Maghraby Plaza Tower: A landmark commercial and residential tower project that established the company's vertical development credentials in Cairo's competitive tower market.
- Avenue Tower: Another Cairo tower project that added to the company's portfolio of premium vertical residential developments.
- Gleem Tower — Alexandria: Dar Al Maghraby's flagship project in Egypt's second city. Alexandria's Gleem district is one of the most prestigious residential addresses in the country — building there requires both quality credentials and an understanding of that city's discerning buyer market.
The Alexandria project deserves particular emphasis. Gleem Tower in Alexandria is not a peripheral project — it's a high-profile development in one of Egypt's most visible coastal urban markets. Building successfully in Alexandria demonstrates that Dar Al Maghraby can deliver quality not just in Cairo's suburban zones, but in genuinely competitive, high-visibility markets. That same confidence and capability is what they've brought to Turquoise North Coast in Sidi Abdel Rahman.
For Gulf investors assessing developer credibility, Dar Al Maghraby's nearly 40-year track record, Cairo-Alexandria portfolio spread, and Gulf real estate market experience collectively position it as one of Egypt's more credible mid-tier developers — particularly for buyers who want proven delivery history without the premium pricing that comes with Egypt's largest listed developers.
Turquoise North Coast Location — Why Kilometer 137 in Sidi Abdel Rahman Is Prime
The Turquoise North Coast location at Km 137 on the Alexandria-Matrouh Road places it in Sidi Abdel Rahman — and within Sidi Abdel Rahman, it sits in one of the most established and sought-after micro-zones: the stretch flanked by Hacienda White and Hacienda Bay, two of Egypt's most prestigious coastal compounds.
Understanding the Hacienda adjacency is essential to understanding Turquoise's value proposition. Hacienda Bay and Hacienda White are developed by Palm Hills Developments — one of Egypt's largest and most respected real estate companies. Their presence in the immediate vicinity of Turquoise creates what property professionals call an 'anchor premium': the infrastructure, road quality, commercial services, and general neighborhood prestige that Hacienda developments have established flows outward to benefit adjacent projects. Owning in Turquoise means you benefit from the Hacienda neighborhood without paying the Hacienda premium.
The Turquoise sidi abd el rahman location also benefits from a set of major road connections that make access easier than the kilometer number alone might suggest.
Key Access Points and Nearby Destinations
- El Alamein International Airport — close proximity, making Turquoise accessible in under an hour for Gulf buyers arriving on direct flights from Dubai, Riyadh, or Doha
- Al Fouka New Road — the military-constructed highway that dramatically shortened Cairo-North Coast travel time to approximately 1.5 hours from Cairo
- Dabaa Road — one of the North Coast's primary internal arterial roads
- International Coastal Road — providing direct access from both east and west
- Adjacent to Hacienda White (Palm Hills), Hacienda Bay, Sechelles, Amwaj, and Blumar North Coast — a cluster of premium anchor compounds that validate and reinforce the zone's quality
- Minutes from New Alamein City — Egypt's multi-billion dollar new urban development on the Mediterranean
- Proximity to major hospitals, commercial malls, and government services in the broader North Coast corridor
The New Alamein City factor is particularly important for understanding the long-term investment thesis for Km 137 properties. Egypt has committed to making New Alamein a permanent year-round city — with hotels, universities, a full corniche, permanent residential communities, and significant commercial infrastructure. As that city grows, the entire North Coast corridor from Km 100 to Km 200 transitions from a seasonal summer market to a mixed-use, year-round one. Properties in Sidi Abdel Rahman — including Turquoise — are positioned to benefit from that demand shift enormously.
El Alamein Airport, just a short drive from Turquoise, is the other infrastructure asset that changes the investment calculus for Gulf buyers. Once you're landing at El Alamein rather than Cairo Airport, the effective travel time from the Gulf to Turquoise shrinks to under two hours door-to-door. That transforms the property from a once-a-year summer destination into something you can realistically use six to eight times a year — dramatically improving the personal use case and the rental economics.
The Turquoise North Coast Master Plan — Crystal Lagoons and Architectural Identity
The Turquoise North Coast master plan covers 108 feddans — a focused, tightly planned footprint that concentrates its ambition rather than spreading it thin. What makes the planning exceptional is the allocation: 82% of the total area goes to green spaces, water features, and landscaping, with only 18% reserved for residential buildings.
Master Plan Key Numbers
- Total project area: 108 feddans
- Green spaces, lagoons, and water features: 82% of total area
- Residential buildings: only 18% of total area
- Crystal lagoons positioned at the heart of the master plan, surrounded by villas and residential clusters
- Terraced building layout with graduated heights — ensuring views for all unit tiers
- 5-star hotel integrated into the compound as a lifestyle and hospitality anchor
- Separate tree planting between units for privacy and visual separation
The name 'Turquoise' came from a very deliberate design philosophy: the project's buildings are finished in shades of blue that mirror the Mediterranean sea outside the compound. Walking through Turquoise North Coast, you're surrounded by the color palette of the water — from the facades of the buildings to the crystal lagoons at the center of the plan to the sea itself on the horizon. It's a coherent, immersive design identity that no other North Coast project has executed in quite the same way.
The master plan divides intelligently between a western zone and an eastern zone. The western entrance area is framed by green gardens and landscaping, with commercial services and visitor reception facilities creating a welcoming arrival experience. The center of the plan is dominated by the crystal lagoons and aquatic landscape — surrounded by villas and residential units that all face inward toward the water.
The eastern zone is organized into equal rows of villas and chalets, all overlooking the water corridors and lagoons, built on a graduated height system that ensures panoramic views for units at every tier. Tree planting between individual units ensures privacy without sacrificing the open, resort atmosphere that makes coastal living different from urban apartment life.
The 5-star hotel within the compound is one of Turquoise's most strategically important design decisions. Hotels within residential compounds are rare in Egypt's North Coast market — and their presence fundamentally changes the compound experience. Professional hospitality management, year-round beach and pool programming, food and beverage at hotel standards, and a concierge infrastructure that serves all residents — not just hotel guests. For Gulf buyers who measure their coastal property experience against hotel-grade standards, this is the facility that makes the difference.
Turquoise North Coast for Sale — The Most Diverse Unit Mix in Sidi Abdel Rahman
One of Turquoise's distinguishing features is the breadth of its unit portfolio. Seven distinct unit types — from compact cabanas to large standalone villas — means the project genuinely serves every category of serious coastal buyer. Here's a full breakdown of what's available and who each unit type is designed for.
Cabanas — 85 sqm to 140 sqm
Turquoise's cabanas come in one, two, and three bedroom configurations, ranging from 85 to 140 sqm. These are the project's most versatile entry points — compact enough to be low-maintenance, large enough to be genuinely liveable for a couple or small family.
Who they're for: Individual investors targeting the summer rental market, couples who want a personal coastal retreat without the overhead of a larger property, and buyers who want to enter the Sidi Abdel Rahman market at the lowest possible price point while still owning in a Dar Al Maghraby compound adjacent to the Hacienda zone. Cabanas in well-located, well-managed compounds command strong rental premiums relative to their purchase price — making them among the most efficient yield plays in the North Coast market.
Chalets — 150 sqm to 180 sqm
Chalets at Turquoise range from 150 to 180 sqm — a size tier that provides meaningful family space while remaining manageable as a second property. These are the core volume units of the project, and their size range reflects Dar Al Maghraby's understanding of what the family summer market actually needs.
Starting from EGP 6,800,000 (entry-level pricing — confirm current figures with the sales team). Who they're for: Small to medium-sized families, buyers looking for a second home with genuine liveability, and investors who want a unit with both personal use potential and rental yield. At 150-180 sqm, a chalet at Turquoise accommodates a family of four to five comfortably for an extended summer stay.
Duplexes — 130 sqm to 250 sqm
The duplex range at Turquoise — 130 to 250 sqm across two floors — offers one of the most flexible unit formats in the project. The two-floor layout creates natural separation between living and sleeping spaces, and the wider size range means buyers can choose between a compact duplex and one that rivals townhouse dimensions.
Who they're for: Buyers who want multi-floor living — the privacy and spatial quality that comes from having a defined 'upstairs' and 'downstairs' — without committing to the larger footprint and price of a townhouse or villa. The 250 sqm upper end of the duplex range in particular offers exceptional value relative to what that floorspace buys in the townhouse tier.
Penthouses — From 170 sqm
The penthouses at Turquoise start at 170 sqm and occupy the top floors of the project's residential buildings — which, given the terraced master plan design, means the most elevated positions and the best panoramic views in the entire compound. Penthouses combine generous interior space with expansive private terraces and — in the best-positioned units — unobstructed sea views.
Who they're for: High-net-worth buyers who want the best views in the project, buyers who prioritize private outdoor terrace space for entertaining, and investors targeting the premium short-stay rental market. Penthouses with sea views in Sidi Abdel Rahman command some of the highest summer rental rates in the North Coast market — making them a strong yield play despite their higher entry price.
Townhouses — From 280 sqm
Townhouses at Turquoise start at 280 sqm — a generously scaled entry point for this typology, providing multi-floor living with private outdoor space and independent entrances. At 280+ sqm, these units offer villa-adjacent lifestyle quality at a price point below the standalone villa tier.
Who they're for: Families who want the feel of a standalone property — private entrance, garden, multi-floor layout — without the full maintenance and cost overhead of a villa. Gulf buyers are particularly drawn to townhouse typologies. The format is familiar from UAE and Saudi residential developments, and at 280+ sqm, there's genuine space for an extended family to spend a summer in comfort.
Twin Houses — From 300 sqm
Twin houses at Turquoise start at 300 sqm — making them the largest 'shared-wall' unit type in the project. The 300 sqm starting size is genuinely villa-scale, and with a private garden and lagoon or sea views depending on plot position, these units compete directly with standalone villas in terms of lifestyle quality.
Who they're for: Buyers who want the scale and views of a villa at a slightly lower price point. The shared wall in a twin house is a marginal tradeoff for significantly better value per square meter compared to a standalone villa at equivalent size. For investors, twin houses offer the combination of large gross floor area, private outdoor space, and compound infrastructure that supports strong resale liquidity.
Standalone Villas — 350 sqm to 550 sqm
The standalone villa range at Turquoise is exceptional in its scale — 350 to 550 sqm of built area, with private gardens and the best positions within the master plan. At 550 sqm, these are among the largest standalone villa units available in any single compound in the Sidi Abdel Rahman zone.
Who they're for: Affluent extended families, generational buyers who are purchasing a property intended to remain in the family for decades, and serious capital preservation investors. A 550 sqm standalone villa in a Dar Al Maghraby compound adjacent to Hacienda Bay, with crystal lagoon views and a 5-star hotel on the doorstep, is one of the most complete coastal assets available in Egypt's North Coast market at any price point. These villas are not just residential units — they are landmark properties in a landmark location.
Turquoise Beach Club, Resort Amenities & Full Facilities Guide
The Turquoise beach club and amenity infrastructure has been planned to match the project's positioning at the premium end of the Sidi Abdel Rahman market. The 5-star hotel anchor elevates the entire compound — and the remaining amenity stack is layered around it to create a genuinely self-contained resort environment.
Beach, Water & Aquatic
- Private Mediterranean beach with turquoise water and fine white sand — the natural asset that gives the project its name and its most compelling lifestyle feature
- Multiple swimming pools designed for different age groups and use types, distributed throughout the 108-feddan site
- Aqua park within the compound — dedicated waterpark entertainment for families and children
- Crystal lagoons at the heart of the master plan, providing decorative and recreational water features visible from the majority of residential units
Hotel & Premium Hospitality
- 5-star hotel overlooking the Mediterranean — providing hotel-grade rooms, food and beverage, concierge, and event programming for all compound residents and guests
- Spa and wellness center with sauna and jacuzzi facilities — delivered to hotel standards through the 5-star property
- Event and celebration spaces for private functions, accessible to all residents
Dining & Retail
- Multiple restaurants and cafés serving international and Egyptian cuisines
- Commercial zone with a curated mix of retail brands and everyday shopping
- Large supermarket stocked with full grocery and household essentials
Fitness, Recreation & Family
- Sea-view gymnasium equipped with modern fitness equipment — exercising with a Mediterranean view
- Dedicated walking, running, and cycling tracks set within the landscaped areas
- Kids' area — fully equipped children's entertainment zone with security coverage
Smart Infrastructure & Operations
- 24/7 security personnel, CCTV surveillance, and electronic access gates
- Underground parking garages for residents and visitors — keeping the compound surface car-free and resort-like
- Free high-speed WiFi coverage throughout the compound
- Regular professional maintenance for all common areas, gardens, and facilities
- Dedicated housekeeping and cleanliness teams maintaining compound-wide standards
The sea-view gym is a detail worth highlighting. In most compound gyms, the workout environment is a functional room with equipment. Turquoise's gym faces the Mediterranean directly — which transforms a daily fitness routine into one of the most pleasant experiences in the compound. For buyers who maintain an active lifestyle, this kind of design decision signals that the developer has thought about day-to-day quality of life, not just headline amenity counts.
Turquoise North Coast Price, Payment Plans & Booking
Dar Al Maghraby has positioned Turquoise's pricing to reflect the quality of the Sidi Abdel Rahman address and the specification of the project — while offering a range of payment structures flexible enough to accommodate different buyer profiles and financial situations.
Price Range
- Units start from EGP 6,800,000 and reach up to EGP 23,000,000
- The wide price band reflects the diversity of unit types — from cabanas at the lower end to large standalone villas at the upper end
- Price varies by unit type, size, floor level, and view (sea, lagoon, or landscape)
Important: Turquoise north coast for sale pricing moves regularly in line with Egyptian market conditions. Always contact the sales team at 01003366453 to confirm current availability and pricing before making any decisions.
Three Payment Plan Options
- Plan 1: 10% down payment, remaining balance over 8 years — interest free
- Plan 2: 15% down payment, remaining balance over 9 years
- Plan 3: 20% down payment, remaining balance over 10 years — interest free — the longest payment window available
Three distinct payment plan options is a buyer-friendly approach that reflects Dar Al Maghraby's understanding of its diverse customer base. A buyer who can commit a larger upfront amount gets the longest payment window with Plan 3. A buyer who wants to preserve liquidity gets Plan 1 with the lowest initial commitment. The interest-free structure on Plans 1 and 3 is particularly valuable — it means the total cost of the unit doesn't increase over the payment period.
For Gulf buyers, Plan 1 — 10% down, 8-year interest-free installments — is often the most strategically appealing. A 10% down payment on a unit at EGP 10,000,000 is EGP 1,000,000, which at current exchange rates is a modest AED or SAR outlay to secure a beachside property in Sidi Abdel Rahman. The 8-year balance is then paid in EGP installments that, for a Gulf buyer converting from a stronger currency, effectively become cheaper in real terms each year as the EGP continues its historical trajectory.
Why Turquoise North Coast Is One of Egypt's Best Investment Opportunities for GCC Buyers
The investment case for Turquoise North Coast operates on several levels simultaneously — macro location, micro neighborhood, developer credibility, product specification, and financial structure. Let's break each one down.
The Sidi Abdel Rahman Premium — A Proven Market
Sidi Abdel Rahman is not a speculative bet on a new coastal zone. It is Egypt's most established premium North Coast sub-market, with a documented history of consistent property appreciation and strong summer occupancy. Properties in this zone have maintained and grown their value through multiple Egyptian economic cycles — which is precisely what a serious investor needs to see before committing capital.
The combination of Hacienda Bay's anchor presence, New Alamein City's infrastructure investment, and El Alamein Airport's expanding connectivity creates a demand structure for Sidi Abdel Rahman properties that is structural rather than speculative. These are not temporary factors — they are permanent changes to the investment environment of the zone.
The Widest Unit Range in the Zone
Turquoise's seven-unit-type portfolio is unique in the Sidi Abdel Rahman market. That diversity means the project can serve buyers at multiple price points — which directly supports liquidity. A compound that only offers villas has a narrow secondary market. A compound that offers everything from cabanas to villas has a secondary market that includes buyers at every budget level. For investors concerned about exit liquidity, Turquoise's unit diversity is a structural advantage.
The 5-Star Hotel Rental Infrastructure
The 5-star hotel within Turquoise creates a professional short-term rental management infrastructure that most North Coast compounds lack. For absentee Gulf investors, professional rental management is often the difference between a property that generates income and one that sits empty. A hotel-managed rental program handles marketing, guest services, cleaning, and maintenance — turning a coastal property into a genuinely passive income asset rather than a management headache.
GCC Buyer Advantages at Turquoise
- Entry prices starting from EGP 6,800,000 represent exceptional value in USD, AED, or SAR terms compared to Mediterranean coastal properties in Turkey, Greece, or southern Spain
- No foreign ownership restrictions for GCC nationals on Egyptian real estate
- Interest-free payment plans with 10% down eliminate the debt cost of acquisition
- El Alamein Airport connectivity makes the property genuinely usable as a regular retreat
- Dar Al Maghraby's Gulf real estate market experience means the developer understands GCC buyer expectations and builds to those standards
- 5-star hotel creates passive income infrastructure for absentee Gulf owners
How Turquoise North Coast Outperforms Other Projects in Sidi Abdel Rahman
Sidi Abdel Rahman is competitive — and that's exactly why the differentiators matter. Here's how Turquoise stands apart.
The Widest Unit Portfolio
No other single compound in the immediate Sidi Abdel Rahman zone offers seven distinct unit types from cabanas to 550 sqm standalone villas. That range means buyers at every budget and lifestyle requirement can find a fit within Turquoise — and it creates the strongest resale liquidity in the area.
The 82% Open Space Ratio
Allocating 82% of 108 feddans to green space and water features is an extraordinarily committed open-space ratio. Most competing projects in the zone run at 60-75% open space. The result is a compound that feels genuinely expansive, private, and resort-like — with the crystal lagoons visible from the majority of units rather than just a privileged few.
The 5-Star Hotel Within the Compound
Integrated 5-star hotels in North Coast compounds are rare. Turquoise has one. This single feature elevates the lifestyle experience of the entire compound, creates professional rental management infrastructure, and signals to buyers and tenants alike that the project is operating at a fundamentally different level than standard seasonal compounds.
Three Payment Plans with Interest-Free Options
Most North Coast competitors offer a single payment plan structure. Turquoise offers three — including two interest-free options. That flexibility makes ownership accessible across a wider range of buyer financial profiles, and the interest-free structure is a genuine cost advantage over competitors who charge financing fees on installment plans.
The Hacienda Neighborhood Premium Without the Hacienda Price
Adjacent to Hacienda White and Hacienda Bay — two of Egypt's most prestigious coastal compounds — Turquoise benefits from the neighborhood quality and infrastructure that those projects have established, without requiring buyers to pay the full Hacienda premium. That value gap between what you get and what you pay is one of the most compelling arguments for Turquoise over its immediate neighbors.
