Somewhere along Kilo 185 of the Alexandria, Marsa Matrouh Road, the Mediterranean folds into a wide, sheltered bay known as Ras El Hekma, a stretch of coastline that has quietly become one of Egypt's most talked-about summer destinations. Turquoise water meets pale sand for hundreds of uninterrupted meters, and behind it, a masterplanned resort community has risen to make the most of the view. This is Salt North Coast, and understanding what it actually offers takes more than a glance at a brochure.
What Is the Salt North Coast?
Salt North Coast is a beachfront resort project developed by Tatweer Misr, one of Egypt's established real estate developers, founded in 2014. Salt sits within Tatweer Misr's broader portfolio of North Coast destinations, following earlier projects such as Fouka Bay and D-Bay, and represents the company's flagship community in the Ras El Hekma area specifically. The resort combines residential units, a dedicated marina zone, hospitality facilities, and retail space into a single self-contained coastal town.
Salt North Coast Location
Salt North Coast is positioned at Kilo 185 of the International Coastal Road (Alexandria–Marsa Matrouh Road), directly on Ras El Hekma Bay. It’s Roughly a three-hour drive from Cairo and about 115 km from Marsa Matrouh.
Main Roads Near Salt Tatweer Misr
-
International Coastal Road: the primary route connecting the resort to Alexandria, Cairo (via the Dabaa axis or Wadi El Natrun road), and Marsa Matrouh.
-
Fouka Road: links Salt to inland routes and other North Coast developments.
-
Al Alamein Road: provides quick access to New Alamein City and its airport.
Land Area and Beachfront
Salt North Coast extends across roughly 294 feddans, with an 830-meter private beachfront on the Mediterranean.The units are positioned to face the sea or the resort's internal lagoons, a ratio achieved by staggering buildings across varied elevations rather than lining them up in flat rows.
Master Plan and Architectural Design
The masterplan leans on a European resort-town aesthetic, with low-rise clusters, pocket parks, and a network of artificial lagoons threading through the residential zones. Roughly 25 feddans of the total land area is dedicated to water features and lagoons alone, which shapes the views for a large share of the community. The design intent is a "floating" sense of openness; green space and water are treated as central features rather than backdrop, and residential blocks are arranged to preserve sightlines toward the Mediterranean from as many units as possible.
Salt Zones and New Phases
Salt North Coast has grown in stages since its 2023 launch, and today includes several distinct sub-communities:
-
Zone A and Zone B: the original phases, each offering the same unit types in varying sizes and room counts.
-
Saltshore: a later phase within the Salt masterplan.
-
Salt Marina: the newest phase, launched in 2026 through a partnership between Tatweer Misr and the UAE-based developer Abnaa Al Emarat. Unlike earlier phases, Salt Marina sits entirely on the waterfront and is built around an international yacht marina, extending Salt's identity from a beach resort toward a marina-anchored destination.

Salt offers a wide spread of property types to suit different household sizes and budgets:
-
Chalets: the most widely available unit type, generally ranging from about 80 to 115 square meters depending on the room count.
-
Apartments and cabins: smaller, lower-maintenance units within the same residential clusters.
-
Townhouses: starting from roughly 150 square meters.
-
Twin houses: generally between 165 and 185 square meters.

Prices and Payment Plans
Unit prices at Salt North Coast have shifted over time as new phases launch and market pricing adjusts, so figures are best treated as a general starting point rather than a fixed number. Recent listings have placed entry-level chalet prices anywhere from roughly EGP 9 million to the mid-teens in millions, depending on the phase, size, and timing of the offer.
Payment structures have generally followed a similar pattern: a down payment in the 5% range, with the remaining balance spread across periods that have ranged from 7 up to 10 years in select promotional offers. Some phases have also included time-limited discounts tied to specific booking windows. Because these numbers move often, confirming the current plan directly with Tatweer Misr’s sales team is the most reliable approach.

What Sets Salt North Coast Apart
A few characteristics distinguish Salt from other Ras El Hekma projects: its high share of sea-facing units, the dedicated marina infrastructure introduced through Salt Marina, and a masterplan that treats water lagoons, pools, and the sea itself as the organizing feature of the community rather than an add-on. The presence of a full-service hotel and spa within the same footprint as the residential units also gives Salt a hospitality layer that purely residential compounds nearby don't offer.
About Tatweer Misr
Tatweer Misr was founded in 2014 and has built a portfolio spanning both urban and coastal destinations across Egypt.

Its work is generally associated with a European-influenced design language and a focus on integrating landscaping and water features into residential masterplans; a signature that carries through clearly into Salt's layout.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Salt North Coast and the newly launched Salt Marina phase?
Salt Marina is a distinct 2026 phase within the larger Salt masterplan, developed in partnership with Abnaa Al Emarat. Unlike the original Zone A and Zone B phases, Salt Marina sits entirely on the waterfront and is centered around an international yacht marina rather than a mixed residential layout.
How far is Salt North Coast from neighboring resorts like Hacienda Bay and La Vista Bay?
Both Hacienda Bay and La Vista Bay are only a few kilometers from Salt along the International Coastal Road, making them a short drive rather than a separate trip. This proximity places Salt within one of the more densely developed clusters of resorts in Ras El Hekma.
What other unit types are available at Salt beyond chalets and villas?
Alongside its more commonly listed chalets, townhouses, twin houses, and standalone villas, Salt also includes smaller apartments, cabins, and a limited number of duplex units, giving buyers more flexibility in unit size and budget than the headline unit types suggest.
