Marseilia beach 3 North Coast-Sahel: a ready village at kilometre 71, close to Alexandria

Sitting where the coast begins, Marseilia beach 3 North Coast-Sahel is a village by Marseilia Real Estate Investment at kilometre 71 of the Alexandria–Matrouh road, next to El Hamam. Our catalogue holds two of its homes, a 100 m² two-bedroom chalet sold furnished and a 185 m² three-bedroom villa in full finishing, and both were handed over months ago, so summer here needs no waiting. The developer has no units or prices on offer now; buying means dealing with owners.

That makes it a finished village at the start of the coast, much nearer Alexandria and Cairo than the villages beyond El Alamein. The name is spelled several ways, Marseilia, Marsilia or Marseille Beach 3, all the same village. The developer's Marseilia Beach 4 in Sidi Abdel Rahman is a different village in a different place.

Kilometre 71: what it means for you

Per the project data, the village sits at kilometre 71 beside El Hamam, with Sadaf about 2.1 km away and Bungalows about 2.7 km. Coming from Cairo or Alexandria, you arrive far sooner than at villages past El Alamein, so a weekend on the coast becomes realistic. From Alexandria especially, it works as a seaside home you can visit any time, not just in summer. The trade-off: the big services growing around El Alamein are a long way off.

The chalet: summer starts the day you buy

The owner's two-bedroom chalet has one bathroom on 100 m², furnished, handed over last August. Furnished means you can spend next summer there or let it without buying furniture and appliances, but ask exactly what "furnished" covers and check its state, because sea air wears things quickly. A two-bedroom of this size suits a small or mid-size family, or two small families splitting the season, and it is the easiest size to let by the week.

Villas for sale in Marseilia beach 3 North Coast-Sahel

The recorded villa has three bedrooms and three bathrooms on 185 m², fully finished, handed over last February. The project data lists villas, chalets and duplexes in the village. A villa gives privacy, a garden and a room for everyone, yet its worth rests on three areas, the plot, the building and the garden, plus the walk to the water, so get each figure separately.

Chalet or villa?

The chalet costs less to buy and maintain and lets more easily. The villa gives a larger family more space and privacy, but upkeep is higher and its rental market narrower. If your own big family will use it most of the summer, take the villa; if you want holidays and rental income together, the chalet is usually smarter.

Marseilia beach 3 North Coast-Sahel master plan

The project data mentions the village beach, pools, restaurants and cafés, a children's play area and security. Use the master plan at the top of the page to see where each chalet and villa sits relative to the beach and pools, then walk from the unit to the sand yourself: a beachfront chalet and one at the back differ in comfort, resale and rent.

What chalets cost around it

We hold no price for the village itself; for a yardstick, here are the cheapest new chalets close by: Bungalows, about 84,400 a metre for 98 m², due 2028; Sadaf, about 76,000 for 118 m², due 2029; and Q Bay, 21 km away, about 73,100, due 2029. So new chalets around it run roughly 73,000 to 84,000 a metre, all two or three summers away. An owner asking a metre inside that band is effectively selling you the summers you would spend waiting; if it is well above, ask whether the chalet faces the sea, which is usually why.

Before you buy

• See the original contract and confirm who owns the unit.
• Find out what the village charges to transfer ownership, and settle on paper whether you or the seller covers it.
• Get the annual service charge, what it buys, and proof nothing is owed.
• Check for damp, rust and worn furniture, especially in older units.

Holiday or investment? A ready chalet near Cairo and Alexandria lets by the week in summer and for weekends, and furnished units let faster. The season is short, though: count the weeks you can realistically book, take off upkeep and cleaning, and set the result against the price. If it comes out thin, buy for your own summers and count any rent as extra.
