With a total planned area spanning 50,000 acres, the city is set to accommodate over 3 million inhabitants upon the completion of its initial phase, setting a benchmark for modern living.

A Hub for Comprehensive Development

Designed as an eco-friendly city, New El-Alamein utilises cutting-edge technology for desalination and solar energy, ensuring efficient use of its coastal advantages.

Investing in the Future

The city is ripe with investment opportunities, with plans underway for a world-class hospital, multiple additional hotels, and an expansive university and regional services centre. The first phase alone has earmarked lands for diverse developments, promising a high return on investment due to the city’s strategic location and burgeoning infrastructure.

A Cultural and Educational Beacon

New El-Alamein is not just focused on economic growth; it also deeply values cultural enrichment. The planned El-Alamein Library, inspired by the iconic Alexandria Library, will feature a theatre, heritage centres, and a range of museums.

Notably, the El-Alamein Museum offers a detailed portrayal of World War II in North Africa, complete with historical records and artifacts. Outside the museum, visitors can interact with an impressive array of military equipment displayed in the garden—ranging from large army tanks to various wartime artifacts, allowing for an immersive experience. The garden itself showcases around fifteen significant pieces from the diverse forces involved in the Battle of El-Alamein.
