About Makadi Heights Hurghada
Makadi Heights Hurghada is one of the most prominent master-planned communities in Makadi Bay, designed as a fully integrated, resort-style town with modern homes, panoramic sea views and a calm coastal lifestyle. It is developed by Orascom Development Egypt, the company that built El Gouna, and spans around 3.4 million m² on the highest point of Makadi Bay.
More than 85% of the site is devoted to green areas, water and open spaces, with neighbourhoods such as Aden Parks (garden apartments), Siyal (villas) and Ledge Valley (apartments and penthouses). Residents benefit from swimming pools, a gym and spa, cafés and restaurants, kids’ areas, landscaped walkways and a closed community with 24/7 security and housekeeping.
The current units – from one-bedroom garden apartments to three-bedroom penthouses and villas – are offered with 0% down and 7 years to pay, with delivery planned for December 2027.
Who is behind the project?
Makadi Heights Hurghada is developed by Orascom Development, one of Egypt’s leading resort-town developers. Our team checks the phase, contract and delivery terms with you before you commit.
Life at Makadi Heights Hurghada
Life at Makadi Heights Hurghada is about space, views and fresh air. Homes look out over the Red Sea and the mountains, walking paths wind through parks and water features, and the neighbourhood pools, gym and cafés are close at hand. The elevated position keeps the town quieter and breezier than the coast below.
Makadi Bay’s beaches, golf course and Makadi Water World are a short drive down the hill, Hurghada International Airport is around 15–20 minutes away, and Hurghada and El Gouna are easy to reach.
Holiday home, rental or both
Many buyers at Makadi Heights Hurghada use their apartment for a few weeks a year and rent it out the rest of the time. Studios and one-bedroom units are popular with couples and short-stay visitors, while larger apartments attract families who come for longer holidays. Professional management partners can handle guests, cleaning and maintenance while you are away, so you can earn from your property without being in Hurghada.
Why Makadi Bay?
Makadi Bay lies about 30 km south of Hurghada, a sheltered bay known for its calm turquoise water, coral reefs, sandy beaches and large resorts. It is home to an 18-hole championship golf course, Makadi Water World – one of the biggest water parks on the Red Sea – and the integrated resort town of Madinat Makadi.
Compared with central Hurghada, Makadi Bay is quieter, greener and more exclusive, while still only around 15–25 minutes from Hurghada International Airport. Large master-planned communities by major developers have made it a favourite for buyers who want a premium holiday home or a long-term investment with strong resale potential.
What to check before you buy
When choosing a unit at Makadi Heights Hurghada, compare floors and orientations, as views and sunlight vary between buildings. Ask about the maintenance deposit and yearly service charges, the exact finishing specification and the delivery terms in the contract. Our team explains each payment option clearly, confirms the details in writing and follows progress for you until handover.
Buying safely with Rook

After the purchase, we stay in touch with updates until handover, and our partners can help with furnishing, rental management and maintenance, so your apartment is ready to enjoy or earn from as soon as it is delivered.
Living in Makadi Bay all year
Many buyers choose Makadi Heights Hurghada not only as a holiday home but as a place to live for part or all of the year. Supermarkets, pharmacies, clinics, international schools, gyms, banks and a wide choice of restaurants and cafés are all within easy reach. Winters are mild and sunny, which is why many European owners spend several months here between October and April.
Beaches, diving centres and boat trips to the islands are close by, so weekends can be spent snorkelling, sailing or simply relaxing by the sea, while the resort’s own facilities make everyday life comfortable.
