Gaia Ras El Hekma

Gaia Ras El Hekma is a coastal village developed by Al Ahly Sabbour on the Alexandria-Matrouh road. Large parts of it have been built and handover has begun, so its units are offered today mainly on the resale market. The project covers 280 feddans, and prices at Gaia start from EGP 6.15 million for a chalet on the resale market, with villas reaching about EGP 13.6 million. Delivery is in 2026, with some units running to 2027 and 2028, and the down payment varies widely from one owner to another.

Here we summarise the location, sizes, prices, payment, developer and amenities. Figures are current as of October 2026 and are advertised asking prices, not official price lists, so message us on WhatsApp to find out which units are available and current prices.

Location of Gaia Ras El Hekma (Which Kilometre?)

Gaia is in Ras El Hekma at roughly Km 194 of the Alexandria-Matrouh road. The developer’s page describes its location as 194 km from Alexandria (and mentions 200 km elsewhere on the same page). Distances announced by the developer:

• Sidi Abdel Rahman: about 63 to 64 km.
• Alamein city: about an hour by car.
• Alexandria: 194 to 200 km.

This location puts the village close to the Ras El Hekma entrance and the new Fuka road, which saves time compared with villages further west.

Gaia Area, Sizes and Unit Types

The project covers 280 feddans, and the company announced 284 feddans at launch in 2018, with investments of EGP 9 billion. The master plan was designed in collaboration with Chapman Taylor, and the developer set aside 45,000 sqm for water areas and swimming pools. The architecture varies between modern, Arabic, modern Arabic and Hacienda styles. The village has phases including Skaia. Units include:

• Studios, apartments, duplexes and penthouses.
• Chalets and cabins with lagoon or beach views.
• Townhouses, twin houses and standalone villas on larger areas.

Gaia Ras El Hekma Prices

Prices at Gaia start from EGP 6.15 million for resale chalets, with some advertisements reaching EGP 8.2 million. Overall, advertised prices range from about EGP 3.85 to 13.6 million depending on type and phase; examples include a chalet at EGP 8.57 million and a three-bedroom villa at EGP 13.59 million. The transfer fee is about EGP 37,500 and the commission 1.5%, so include them in the cost. These are owners’ asking prices and not official lists, and they vary by floor, view and finishing.

Payment Plans and Delivery

Al Ahly Sabbour is not currently announcing a single payment plan for Gaia because most of the units available come from owners, so terms differ from one unit to another:

• The down payment varies widely between advertisements, from a very small percentage to more than half the unit price. In one advertisement for a chalet at EGP 8.57 million, the down payment was EGP 6.5 million and the remaining EGP 2.07 million was on installments.
• Another example: a villa at EGP 13.59 million with a down payment of EGP 8 million and a monthly installment of EGP 85,000.
• Delivery is in 2026, units in later phases are delivered in December 2027 or March 2028, and some units are for immediate handover.

Our advice is to compare the down payment and installment together, not just the total price, and to ask for the original contract documents with the developer and what has been paid before any payment.

Since most of what is on offer is resale, the real cost of a unit is the agreed price plus the transfer fee, the commission and maintenance, and possibly remaining installments owed to the developer if they have not been fully paid. Ask the seller about each item in writing.

The Developer: Al Ahly Sabbour

Gaia is developed by Al Ahly Sabbour Developments, an Egyptian company working in East and West Cairo and the North Coast. Its other coastal projects include Summer Ras El Hekma and Ten Islands Ras El Hekma. Figures for the company’s founding date and shareholder percentages differ, so we do not state a number we cannot verify, and we advise checking the developer’s official site for its delivery record.

Amenities and Beach

Gaia is built around its sandy beach, water and full services, which include:

• A private sandy beach (100% sand), swimmable lagoons, swimming pools and water areas over 45,000 sqm.
• The KYND 01 hotel and fine-dining restaurants run by Bar Du Port.
• A commercial strip with leisure activities, a sports area with an open-air gym and a football pitch.
• A children’s area and customer service.

Who Gaia Suits and What to Check Before Buying

Gaia suits buyers who want a village that has been built and can be viewed before buying, since the buildings and water areas are visible on site and not just models. It also suits those who do not want to wait years for delivery. Before buying, make sure of:

• The phase name (such as Skaia), handover status, licences and the handover record.
• That the owner has paid the developer and that no installments are overdue on the unit.
• Annual maintenance and service fees.
• The size of the unit and garden, parking, and how close the unit is to the beach.

How to Check a Resale Unit in Gaia

1. Ask for the first owner’s contract, payment receipts to the developer and the unit’s account statement.
2. Confirm the unit number, the phase, its position on the plan and its actual view.
3. Review the handover record, the state of finishing and any maintenance notes.
4. Ask about the transfer fee (about EGP 37,500), the commission and annual maintenance fees.
5. Compare the unit’s price per metre with similar advertisements in the same phase before agreeing a price.
