Sidi Heneish is deep western coast — roughly 390 kilometres from Cairo, a four-hour drive, and priced as a destination rather than a weekend. What you buy here is water quality and emptiness.
What it costs
Across 9 compounds in Sidi Heneish, the median asking price is about 31.5M EGP, or roughly 158,623 EGP per m² — 60% above the national median (national median 99,207 EGP/m²). Entry units start near 5.8M EGP.
Read the kilometre, not the brochure
North Coast property is organised by a single number: the kilometre marker on the Alexandria–Marsa Matrouh road. Sidi Heneish runs roughly from kilometre 221 to kilometre 250.
That number is the most useful thing on any listing. It determines drive time from Cairo and Alexandria, which neighbouring compounds you share services with, how long the season runs, and — because buyers price it instinctively — what the land is worth.
So when you compare options here, compare kilometre positions before you compare finishes. A compound at the 221 end of Sidi Heneish and one at the 250 end are in measurably different markets.
The season is the business model
North Coast compounds are built for a short, intense summer. For most of the year the majority of units are empty, which affects whether shops stay open, how services are staffed, and how quickly anything sells.
Price that in honestly. A coastal unit is not a home that happens to be by the sea — it is a seasonal asset with holding costs across the months you are not there. Maintenance charges run all twelve.
The exception is the stretch around New Alamein, where permanent towers and year-round institutions have created something closer to a functioning town. The further west you go from that, the more purely seasonal the proposition becomes.
What to check before you buy
Confirm the exact kilometre and drive it once. Four hours reads differently on a map than it does on a Thursday in August with the family in the car.
Ask what is open outside summer within a reasonable radius — supermarket, clinic, petrol. The answer defines whether this is usable outside the season or not.
Check the maintenance charge and what it actually covers, then assume you pay it every year regardless of how many weeks you use the place. On a coastal second home that number matters more than most buyers expect.

Frequently asked
Where is Sidi Heneish on the North Coast?
Roughly between kilometre 221 and kilometre 250 of the Alexandria–Marsa Matrouh road. The kilometre marker is how the entire coast is navigated and priced, so it is worth knowing precisely rather than approximately.
Why does the kilometre number matter so much?
It determines drive time from Cairo and Alexandria, which services and neighbouring compounds you are near, how long the usable season is, and consequently the price. Buyers price kilometre position instinctively, so it drives resale as much as purchase.
Can you use a place in Sidi Heneish outside the summer?
Partly, and it depends how far west you are. The stretch around New Alamein has year-round services; further west the coast is substantially seasonal, with many compounds and most retail effectively closed outside the summer months.
Is North Coast property a good investment?
It behaves differently from city property — seasonal demand, thinner resale and year-round holding costs against a few weeks of use. It works best as a lifestyle purchase you can afford to hold, rather than as a yield play.
Is Sidi Heneish a good area to buy in 2026?
Sidi Heneish has 9 compounds with live inventory and 43 new-build units, so choice is focused. On price per m² it sits 60% above the national median.

Units start from about 5.8M EGP (median 31.5M EGP, ~158,623 EGP/m²).
What payment plans are available in Sidi Heneish?
