Alamein is located 34 kilometers west of Alexandria to the western border of Egypt on the Mediterranean sea. Built over an area of 50,000 acres with the first phase 8,000 acres to be completed by the end of 2019, it targets a population of 3 million in the first phase. The new city is master planned to include 15 residential towers overseeing a 14 km long international promenade along the beach. In addition to a diverse number of amenities, it will include a 44-acre World Medical Center, a 296-acre Hotel Area with a foreseen capacity of 25,000 keys and a World Tourism Center. The New Alamain City is the government’s icon of a future vision for development, a multi-billion pound fourth generation eco-city which will be reflected in its eco-oriented infrastructure, aiming at sustainable development, exploring water desalination and other renewable energy methods. It comes with the new concept of an open-to-the-public tourism city on the North Coast, taking a different approach than the private resorts spread across the sea line. The Ministry of Housing aims to complete the construction of the first phase, an area developed on a total area of 41,000 acres.
