Marina 1 North Coast

Marina 1 North Coast is one of the older villages in Marina El Alamein resort, which belongs to the New Urban Communities Authority. It is known for chalets, villas and duplexes close to the beach, the lagoon and the yacht marina. It is mainly a resale village: no developer is launching new units here with an official payment plan, and units are sold directly by their owners. That makes verifying the unit and the price the most important step before buying.

On this page West Capital gives you a summary of the Marina 1 market: location, sizes and unit types, current prices, how payment works in resale, services and the beach, and how we help.

Location of Marina 1 North Coast

Marina 1 is inside the Marina El Alamein area, which runs roughly from Kilometer 94 to Kilometer 105 on the Alexandria-Marsa Matrouh coastal road. The area is about 94 km west of Alexandria and about 300 km from Cairo. The Marina villages run from one to seven along the coast, with units close to the yacht marina, and next to the Porto Marina commercial area, which has about 180 stores.

Prices change quickly, so we give you an updated list on request.

How payment works in Marina 1: resale with no developer plan

Marina 1 does not currently launch new units on a developer payment plan. Units are sold by their owner for cash, or with a large payment and the rest on private installments agreed between the two parties. Some units may be described as “Offplan: First Sale” and may in fact be units in other projects next to the village, so the identity of the project must be checked. We therefore recommend the following:

• Ask for the original ownership contract and confirm it is registered or that the assignment document is approved by the owning authority.
• Confirm that annual maintenance and service fees and any overdue dues on the unit have been paid.
• Inspect the unit yourself, because how ready it is to live in and its finishing condition differ from one unit to the next.
• Compare the price per meter with similar units in Marina 2 and Marina 4 before negotiating.

The developer and the owning authority

Marina El Alamein was created by decision of the New Urban Communities Authority, which set up the Tourist Villages Agency to build the resort’s villages. The whole resort covers about 3,952 feddans, including about 1,260 feddans of artificial lakes. The Porto Marina project is run today by Amer Group. There is therefore no single developer called “Marina 1”; the owners are individuals and companies who contracted for the units through government agencies, which makes reviewing the documents an essential step.

Services and the beach in Marina 1

Being inside Marina El Alamein gives access to the resort’s facilities: beaches, the marina, lagoons, more than 8 hotels, cinemas, a medical center, a supermarket, sports courts, swimming pools and a Roman amphitheater for concerts, as well as the Porto Marina commercial area. How close your unit is to the water depends on its position in the village. Some units are in the first row on the lagoon and others in the third or fourth row, and the differences show in the price.

Rental and investment in Marina 1

Daily rental listings show two-bedroom chalets of 120 meters at about EGP 4,000 a night in the summer season, and some premium units reach EGP 13,500 a night (October 2026). These prices vary widely with the view, the furnishing and the season. Buyers who want to rent out usually prefer ready, furnished units close to the beach or lagoon, because they are the easiest to rent and resell. We do not advise relying on a fixed return, because demand is seasonal and changes from year to year.

Marina remains one of the best-known and most sought-after areas on the coast, which supports easy resale of a registered, well-equipped unit. We help you estimate the market value of the unit you own now or the one you plan to buy.

It is best to start by setting your budget and the length of stay you expect in summer. If you spend only a few weeks, a studio or a one-bedroom chalet close to the beach is enough, while an extended family stay needs a three-bedroom chalet or a villa. We suggest ready units in Marina 1 that fit this after comparing the price per meter across more than one offer.
