Koun Ras El Hikma is strategically situated in Ras El Hikma Bay, an area recently classified by the Egyptian government as a massive urban development zone, drawing billions in foreign direct investment.

The project sits at Kilo 201 on the Alexandria-Marsa Matrouh Road. This specific coordinate is vital because it places owners in the center of the action while maintaining distinct exclusivity.

This location ensures that while you are secluded in your private lagoon, you are never far from world-class hospitals, dining hubs, and entertainment centers in New Alamein City.

Full Project Description: An Island State of Mind

The master plan of Koun Ras El Hikma is a study in intelligent design. Recognizing that the sea is the primary attraction, the developers collaborated with Ismail El Habrouk Architects, one of the region’s most celebrated design firms (known for Katameya Coast).

The result is a project built on a terrace system (Mastaba). By elevating the land gradually as it recedes from the shore, the architects have guaranteed that units further back still command breathtaking views.

The Water Philosophy

The project spans a significant depth of 1300 meters, yet it feels intimately connected to the water. How? By dedicating 85% of the total land area to lagoons, swimming pools, and lush landscapes. The footprint of buildings is capped at a mere 15%.

This low density means you are not buying into a concrete jungle. You are buying into a network of swimmable lagoons and flowing water features that bring the beach to your doorstep. The aesthetic is modern, minimalist, and white, reflecting the Mediterranean sun while keeping the interiors cool and airy.

Are There Any Downsides? (Points to Consider)

In the spirit of transparency, buyers often ask about the potential drawbacks of Koun Ras El Hikma.

1. Delivery Timeline: As an off-plan project under construction, Koun is not suitable for buyers seeking immediate move-in for the current summer season. It requires a wait for the handover date, though this is balanced by the lower entry price compared to ready-to-move units.
2. Distance from Alexandria: For those accustomed to the older North Coast resorts (like Marina or Maraqia), Ras El Hikma is further west. However, the new Fouka Road has significantly reduced travel time, making this “flaw” less relevant in the modern era of the Coast.
3. High Demand: Due to the limited number of units (building on only 15% of the land), inventory moves quickly, and securing a specific view or floor often requires quick decision-making.

Ultimately, the project is meticulously planned to minimize structural or lifestyle defects, offering a comprehensive luxury experience.

Why This Project is Ideal for Foreign Buyers & Expats

If you are comparing properties in Egypt, here is why Koun Ras El Hikma stands out for the international market:

1. The “Ras El Hikma” Factor: Following the major UAE investment deal in Ras El Hikma, this specific region is predicted to see the highest capital appreciation in Egypt over the next decade. Buying now is buying at the ground floor of a massive upward trend.
2. Dollar-Hedge Investment: Real estate in Egypt’s North Coast has historically outperformed inflation and currency devaluation. It acts as a secure store of value.
3. Rental Yields: The demand for high-quality summer rentals in the North Coast is insatiable. A finished unit in Koun can generate significant rental income during the peak season (June-September).
4. Hassle-Free Ownership: With a strong facility management team, you don’t need to be in Egypt to maintain your property. Security, cleaning, and landscape maintenance are handled centrally.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is Koun Ras El Hikma suitable for year-round living?

While the North Coast is primarily a summer destination, the rapid development of Ras El Hikma and New Alamein (schools, universities, hospitals) is making the area increasingly habitable year-round. Koun is perfect for long summer stays and weekends throughout the year.

Q2: Who is the architect behind the project?

The project is designed by El Habrouk Architects, a firm famous for creating “Katameya Coast” and other luxury projects. Their signature style involves maximizing water views and utilizing modern, functional aesthetics.

Q3: Are the units delivered furnished?

The units are delivered fully finished with high-quality flooring, painting, and fixtures. Furniture packages are typically the responsibility of the owner, allowing you to personalize your space.

Q4: How far is the beach from the furthest unit?

Thanks to the 1300m depth and the extensive lagoon network, you are never far from water. While the beachfront is 300m wide, the swimmable lagoons bring the beach experience to the doorstep of units located further back.

Q5: Can non-Egyptians buy property here?

Absolutely. Egyptian law allows foreign ownership of real estate in these areas. Our team can assist with the legal registration and contract processes to ensure a smooth transaction.
