Its buildings step up from sea level to about 160 meters above it, spread across three gated communities linked by bridges. It has studios, apartments, chalets, twin houses, townhouses and villas starting from 55 sqm, with swimmable lakes of about 12,000 sqm, a private beach and a beach club. The down payment starts from 10%, and prices vary with type and phase, so we confirm what is actually available as of November 2026.<\/p>\n<h2>About Carnelia<\/h2>\n<p>Ajna announced Carnelia as its flagship project in Sokhna with initial investments of about EGP 3 billion, and planned for buildings to occupy only about 17% of the land, with the rest left as gardens, water features and open spaces. The village is defined by its terrain. The hill overlooking the gulf lets units be arranged on levels, so a large number of them get a sea view, and the lower and upper parts are linked by bridges and paths for pedestrians and bicycles.<\/p>\n<p>Work began in late 2021, and the developer announced delivery from the end of 2024 in phases. As a result the status of units today ranges from delivered to being handed over to under construction, which we review with you unit by unit before you book.<\/p>\n<h2>Carnelia location in Ain Sokhna<\/h2>\n<p>The village is in the Galala area of Ain Sokhna on the Gulf of Suez coast, about 30 km from the Sokhna gate and a short distance from the Zafarana Road. It sits next to the New Galala resort and overlooks Galala Marina. The approximate distances are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>About 1 minute to the private beach.<\/li>\n<li>About 6 minutes to Porto Sokhna.<\/li>\n<li>About 10 minutes to Galala Mountain.<\/li>\n<li>About 30 minutes to the New Administrative Capital.<\/li>\n<li>About 120 km from Cairo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ain Sokhna benefits from its closeness to the New Administrative Capital and from a network of modern roads that shorten the trip from Cairo, which makes it suitable for weekend stays all year round. To compare villages in the area, browse <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/cites\/ain-sokhna\/\">Ain Sokhna projects<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One advantage of villages built on a hill is that the view is not limited to the first row. The graded levels give many units a sea view, but the price gap between a unit near the beach and one at the top of the hill can be large, so ask about each level separately. Remember too that moving between the three communities is by bridges and paths, so choose the unit based on the destination you will use most.<\/p>\n<h2>Unit sizes and types<\/h2>\n<p>Units range from small ones for investment to medium ones for a family:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Studio and one-bedroom apartment of 55 to 60 sqm.<\/li>\n<li>Two-bedroom apartment of 100 to 115 sqm.<\/li>\n<li>Three-bedroom apartment of 140 to 160 sqm.<\/li>\n<li>Three-bedroom townhouse of 165 to 200 sqm.<\/li>\n<li>Four-bedroom villa of 245 to 260 sqm.<\/li>\n<li>Chalets and twin houses with areas up to about 265 sqm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For an investor, Galala projects attract short-holiday visitors from Cairo and the New Administrative Capital, so small units find demand for weekly rental. The actual return, though, depends on the unit&#8217;s position and the state of the facilities at the time of renting, and we do not promise figures we cannot confirm.<\/p>\n<p>The studio and one-bedroom suit someone who wants a low entry price and seasonal renting, the two- and three-bedroom units suit a family, and the villa and townhouse suit someone who wants a garden and more privacy. Prices vary within the same type by floor and view.<\/p>\n<h2>Carnelia prices and payment plans<\/h2>\n<p>Carnelia prices change from one batch to another and from one community to another. A sea view, closeness to the lakes and the floor make a large difference to the price, and the price of a unit sold by its owner differs from the developer&#8217;s price. For that reason we do not fix a figure that may not match the unit you like, and we send you the actual price of what is available as of November 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The developer offers its units with a down payment starting from 10% and the rest paid in installments over many years, and the term varies with the batch. To read any offer correctly:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ask for the installment schedule in writing with due dates.<\/li>\n<li>Ask whether the price includes finishing, air conditioning and the kitchen.<\/li>\n<li>Ask about the late-delivery penalty and the actual delivery date for the unit.<\/li>\n<li>Check the maintenance expenses and deposit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before you compare offers, ask about the difference between a unit&#8217;s announced price and its actual price once finishing and expenses are added, because that gap often changes the ranking of offers. We request the final figures in writing from the developer or the owner so you can compare them on one basis.<\/p>\n<h2>The developer: Ajna Developments<\/h2>\n<p>The developer is <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/developer\/ajna-developments\/\">Ajna Developments<\/a>, founded in 2019 and chaired by Osama Shalaby. Carnelia is its most prominent project in Sokhna, and the company has other projects in the Fifth Settlement. Because it is a relatively young company, we advise you before contracting to check the progress on site and the delay clauses in the contract, and we inspect any delivered units with you, if there are any.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15044\" src=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/carnelia-ain-sokhna-3.webp\" alt=\"Terraces of Carnelia Ain Sokhna units\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/carnelia-ain-sokhna-3.webp 1200w, https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/carnelia-ain-sokhna-3-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/carnelia-ain-sokhna-3-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/carnelia-ain-sokhna-3-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Facilities and services<\/h2>\n<p>The village has complete facilities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A private beach, a beach bar, a beach club and water activities.<\/li>\n<li>Swimmable lakes of about 12,000 sqm and public and private pools.<\/li>\n<li>A five-star boutique hotel in the plan.<\/li>\n<li>A commercial area with restaurants, bakeries, a supermarket and a children&#8217;s play area.<\/li>\n<li>A social club (clubhouse), a spa and a jacuzzi.<\/li>\n<li>Sports courts, running and cycling paths and gardens.<\/li>\n<li>A mosque, a nursery and underground garages.<\/li>\n<li>24-hour security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The project is varied in its segments. The village combines small units at low entry prices with villas for large families, so there is an option for more than one budget. That same variety calls for comparing batches carefully, because the differences in price and view between the three communities are large.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these facilities are in their first stages of operation, so ask which are actually open at the time you receive your unit.<\/p>\n<h2>Who Carnelia suits and what to check before booking<\/h2>\n<p>The village suits someone who wants a small or medium unit with a sea view in Sokhna with a 10% down payment, and someone who likes the idea of a gated community on a hill overlooking the gulf with a private beach and lakes. Anyone who prefers a village that has been fully operating for years should weigh actual handover against facilities. Before booking, review:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The community the unit is in, its height above the sea and the route to the beach.<\/li>\n<li>The delivery date in writing and the state of the work on site.<\/li>\n<li>The agreed finishing and what it includes.<\/li>\n<li>Annual maintenance and service expenses.<\/li>\n<li>For resale units: the assignment and ownership transfer fees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We suggest you start by setting your down payment budget and monthly installment, then tell us how you expect to use the unit. We will recommend the right community and level and arrange a viewing on site so you can see the view and the distance to the beach yourself.<\/p>\n<h2>Why buy in Carnelia with West Capital<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>We show you the units actually available, from the studio to the villa, at their updated prices.<\/li>\n<li>We compare Carnelia with Sokhna and Galala villages on price, down payment and delivery.<\/li>\n<li>We review the contract and the schedule with you and follow the booking through to handover.<\/li>\n<li>No fees or commission for the client.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To explore further, learn about <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/developer\/ajna-developments\/\">Ajna Developments<\/a>, compare with <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/projects\/porto-sokhna-ain-sokhna\/\">Porto Sokhna village<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/projects\/il-monte-galala-ain-sokhna\/\">Il Monte Galala Ain Sokhna village<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/projects\/lugano-el-galala-ain-sokhna\/\">Lugano El Galala Ain Sokhna village<\/a>, and browse <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/cites\/ain-sokhna\/\">all Ain Sokhna projects<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions about Carnelia<\/h2>\n<h3>Where is Carnelia Sokhna located?<\/h3>\n<p>In the Galala area of Ain Sokhna on the Gulf of Suez, about 6 minutes from Porto Sokhna and about 120 km from Cairo.<\/p>\n<h3>How big is Carnelia?<\/h3>\n<p>About 100 feddans, of which buildings occupy about 17% and the rest is green and water spaces.<\/p>\n<h3>What unit types and sizes are there?<\/h3>\n<p>Studios and apartments from 55 to 160 sqm, townhouses from 165 to 200 sqm and villas from 245 to 260 sqm, plus chalets and twin houses.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the down payment in Carnelia?<\/h3>\n<p>The down payment starts from 10% with the rest paid in installments over several years, and the term varies with the batch on offer.<\/p>\n<h3>Does Carnelia have a private beach?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes.
