Bo Islands North Coast

Bo Islands North Coast is one of the best-known villages on the Sidi Abdel Rahman bay. It is developed by Maxim Developments and sits at Km 120 of the Alexandria-Matrouh road. Units currently on offer at Bo Islands start from EGP 11.5 million as of October 2026, and most of the units available today are ready-to-receive resale units. The project covers about 300 feddans, and the village is known for its colorful bohemian design and its crystal lagoons.

Bo Islands location and kilometer

Bo Islands is on the Sidi Abdel Rahman bay at Km 120 of the Alexandria-Marsa Matrouh road, near New Alamein. Alamein International Airport is about 30 minutes away, Marina El Alamein is a short drive, and the village neighbors well-known villages such as Marina 5 North Coast, Marassi North Coast and Hacienda Bay.

The village is part of a larger project that Maxim calls “Bo Sidi Abdel Rahman”. The company previously announced a total of 1,800 feddans in two phases, Bo Islands and Bo Sands, while this guide covers Bo Islands alone. Do not mix up the two projects when searching for a unit: neighboring Bo Sands has different units, prices and a different plan, and the published figures for the area of each vary by phase. We therefore confirm the exact area and location of the unit you want before any commitment.

Unit sizes and types

When buying, it matters to distinguish between built-up area, land area and garden. For example, one owner listed a corner townhouse overlooking the lagoon with 230 m² built-up, 302 m² of land and a 200 m² garden at EGP 20 million, and the price varies a lot with these elements.

The village was designed in a free-spirited bohemian style, and the developer set aside about 88% of its area for green spaces and lakes and only 12% for residential units. The units divide as follows:

• Villas: from 259 to 584 m², with three to four bedrooms.
• Townhouses: at least 230 m², with at least three bedrooms.
• Chalets: from 133 to 221 m², with two to four bedrooms.
• Penthouses: at least 221 m², with at least four bedrooms.

Most current listings revolve around chalets and penthouses of about 170 m² with three bedrooms, townhouses of about 280 m² and standalone villas of about 500 m².

Bo Islands unit prices

Prices depend on the unit type, the view and the finishing condition. This is a picture of what the market offered in October 2026 (resale listings, not developer prices):

• Three-bedroom chalets and penthouses: from EGP 11.5 to 15 million.
• Townhouses: about EGP 20 million.
• Large standalone villa: about EGP 28 million.

An older resale floor of about EGP 3 million also appears, but it is probably an old figure that may not be current, so we treat the EGP 11.5 to 28 million range as the closest reference. Prices change with the owner and the location inside the village, so contact us for an updated list of the units actually available.

Payment plans and project status

Maxim launched the Bo Sidi Abdel Rahman project in 2016. It announced at the time the launch of Bo Sands with investments of EGP 6.5 billion and the start of the first phase of Bo Islands with a budget of EGP 3.5 billion. Work then paused while awaiting the new ministerial decision after the North Coast land was transferred to the New Urban Communities Authority in July 2023.

Bo Islands was launched years ago, and hundreds of its units had been delivered by July 2023, so the developer does not currently offer a single installment plan. Buyers on the secondary market usually pay in cash or on a schedule agreed with the owner. Older data mentioned developer plans that are no longer in force, so do not rely on any down payment figure or repayment period without confirming it with us.

In September 2023, Maxim announced a partnership with The Marquee Real Estate Development as master developer to complete the remaining works under the approved plan, after the company received a new land allocation contract from the New Urban Communities Authority in July 2023. We always recommend reviewing the contract, the unit’s ownership record and the assignment letters before paying, which we follow up with you.

The developer: Maxim Developments

The developer is Maxim Developments, founded in 1980. Its portfolio includes projects in New Cairo, the North Coast and Mostakbal City, among them Bo Islands, Bo Sands and the Royal Maxim Palace Kempinski hotel. The company has more than 40 years of experience and has developed more than 5 million square meters in Egypt.

When dealing with a developer whose project has gone through rescheduling phases, you should ask for a statement of account for the unit, the installments and maintenance fees paid, and written confirmation of the construction and finishing status before contracting.

Services, beach and lagoons

What sets Bo Islands apart is its lagoons and services, including:

• Crystal Lagoons: lakes among the largest in North Africa, with a shoreline of 18.5 km, a minimum width of 24 meters and a maximum depth of 1.65 meters.
• A two-line electric tram: one line for getting around the village and the other for taking residents to the beach.
• Bo Hub: a commercial center with showrooms, fashion, restaurants and cafes.
• A sports club with more than 10 sports, including tennis, squash, basketball, volleyball and football.
• Swimming pools, a running track, clinics and a commercial area.

Many of the listed units look directly onto the lagoon, which is why the water view is a main factor in pricing a unit inside the village, whether it is a chalet or a townhouse.

Before deciding, ask about the unit’s age, its finishing condition and whether it is furnished. Compare its price with similar units on the same lagoon, and work out the annual maintenance costs and the ownership transfer fees. The gap between one unit and another in the same village can reach several million pounds depending on the view, the floor and the size.
