Caesar Resort North Coast-Sahel

Caesar Resort North Coast-Sahel: here, bigger is cheaper

Caesar Resort North Coast-Sahel is a village by SODIC on 280 feddans at kilometre 202 in Ras El Hekma, with a 1.2 km private beach. On sale are apartments, townhouses, twin houses and villas, the cheapest a 141 m² three-bedroom apartment at EGP 27,530,000. Everything comes with 5% down and 7 years of instalments, and some villas are handed over in June 2027.

The headline is not an exaggeration. In Caesar, the large villas are cheaper per metre than the small ones and are handed over years earlier. That is rare, and it turns the usual way of thinking about buying here upside down, so let us go through it.

Who is Caesar for?

The village is built on 5 levels rising from the beach, so most units see the sea without being on the front row. 75% of the land is greenery and lakes, with sandy paths between the homes that let you walk to the beach.

A large family that wants a summer home soon

The 396 m² 5-bedroom villa and the 546 m² 7-bedroom villa are handed over in less than a year, the summer after next. They are the cheapest square metres in the whole village, so a large family wins here on both price and time.

Someone who wants the lowest entry price

The three-bedroom apartment starts at EGP 27,530,000, with EGP 1,376,500 down and an instalment of roughly EGP 311,000 a month over 7 years. But it is handed over in September 2030, so you wait four years.

An investor in summer rentals

Large villas close to handover have a clear rental market on the coast: big families and groups of friends looking for one house to gather in for a week or two. A 7-bedroom villa in a SODIC village on the Ras El Hekma sea that you can rent out from the first summer after handover is an investment that brings money in early instead of after years of waiting.

Someone who wants a mid-sized house with a garden

The twin house starts at 205 m² for EGP 42,978,000 and is handed over in September 2027. That is the clearest choice for someone who wants a house with early handover without a big-villa budget.

Which unit in Caesar gives the most for the money?

Divide each price by its area, set the handover date beside it, and the picture comes out like this:

• The 7-bedroom villa against the 6-bedroom: the 546 m² 7-bedroom starts at EGP 96,012,680, and the 476 m² 6-bedroom is EGP 101,355,000. So the 7-bedroom is 70 m² larger, about 5.3 million cheaper, and handed over a year earlier.
• The 5-bedroom villa against the 3-bedroom: the 5-bedroom is about 186,000 per m² and the 3-bedroom about 234,000. And the 3-bedroom is handed over in 2030, so you pay a dearer metre and wait longer.
• Twin house against townhouse: the twin house is 205 m² at EGP 42,978,000 and the townhouse 159 m² at EGP 37,620,000. The twin house is 46 m² larger for about 5.4 million more, but cheaper per metre (about 209,600 against 236,600) and handed over three years before the townhouse.
• The apartment: about 195,000 per m², cheaper than the townhouse and the small villa, but dearer than the large villas.

The upshot: if your budget stretches to a large villa, Caesar gives you its best value and earliest handover there. If your budget is mid-range, the twin house beats the townhouse on both price per metre and timing. The townhouse and the small villa are the dearest per metre and the furthest from handover.

What income does a Caesar instalment suit?

Every unit is on 7 years, shorter than many villages around Caesar, so the instalment comes out higher. If the instalment is to stay under a third of household income:

• Three-bedroom apartment: an instalment of about EGP 311,000 a month, so an income of around 935,000.
• Twin house: an instalment of about EGP 486,000, so an income of around 1.46 million.
• 5-bedroom villa: an instalment of about EGP 833,000, so an income of around 2.5 million.

These figures are approximate and before any increases. If the instalment is heavy, ask about a larger deposit to lower it. The details are under payment plans.

Caesar phases with their own pages

• Caesar Extension 2: from EGP 27,530,000, with the apartments and the cheapest way in.
• Caesar Extension 1: from EGP 49,901,000.

Open each phase's page to see its unit types and handover dates, because the difference between them is not only price. Extension 2 suits someone coming in on an apartment budget, and Extension 1 someone looking for a house or villa from the start.

Price per m² in Caesar against its neighbours

Using the price per m² of the cheapest unit in each nearby village:

• Mountain View Ras El Hekma, 1.7 km away: around EGP 230,800 per m².
• Koun, half a kilometre away: around EGP 162,000 per m².
• Ogami, same developer, 1.9 km away: around EGP 153,200 per m².
• La Vista Ras El Hekma, 1.1 km away: around EGP 140,000 per m².
• Solare, 2.7 km away: around EGP 128,800 per m².

Caesar's apartment, at about 195,000 per m², is dearer than most neighbours and about 42,000 more than Ogami, its neighbour by the same developer. But Caesar's large villas, at about 176,000 per m² for the 7-bedroom, are cheaper per metre than the apartments in many villages around it. So Caesar is not cheap for apartments, but its big villas are among the best values in Ras El Hekma.

What is inside Caesar?

The master plan is by DLR Group and built on terraces: 5 levels stepping back from the beach, with the rear units seeing the sea over the roofs of those in front. There is generous space between each pair of houses for privacy.

• A 9,000 m² green zone with an outdoor gym, cycling tracks, a barbecue area and yoga.
• Two children's play areas.
• Lakes covering more than 20,000 m².

These make the village a place for the whole family, not just the beach, which matters for rent if you plan to let it, and for your own enjoyment if you will spend the summer there yourself.

Who is the developer of Caesar?

SODIC is the developer, and in Ras El Hekma it also has June, now close to handover, and Ogami. So you can see SODIC's standard on the coast for yourself before you sign. In Cairo it has SODIC East and Villette.

Ras El Hekma and getting to Caesar

Caesar is at kilometre 202, close to Sidi Abdel Rahman, reached by the El Dabaa road, the new Fouka road, the International Coastal Road and the El Alamein road. El Alamein Airport and New Alamein City lie one way and Marsa Matrouh the other, with Borg El Arab Airport close for those coming from Alexandria. Two airports within reasonable reach mean you can fly in the busy season instead of losing a holiday day on the road. See it under location, or browse the other villages on the Ras El Hekma page.

Things to know before you book in Caesar

• Handover dates run from the summer after next to September 2030 depending on the type. Check your unit's exact date.
• Instalments are only 7 years, so they are higher than in villages paid over 8 or 10.
• The finishing level is not recorded with us for each unit. Ask for the specification in writing.
• Read the pros and cons and the amenities above.
