D-Bay North Coast is Tatweer Misr’s 200-feddan resort at Kilo 165 in Dabaa, with 800 metres of Mediterranean frontage on a plot roughly one kilometre deep. That shape is the point. No home in the project sits more than about a kilometre from the water, where the big neighbours run two to three and a half kilometres inland.

The second half of the argument is vertical. The masterplan steps from three metres above sea level at the sand to twenty-eight at the back, so the rear rows look over the rooflines in front of them.

Where Exactly Is D-Bay on the North Coast?

Kilo 165 of the Alexandria to Matrouh road, at the Dabaa Axis exit in Qesm Ad Dabaah. Coordinates 31.081132 north, 28.389729 east. Alexandria is about thirty minutes away, Cairo roughly three hours, and Alamein International Airport under thirty kilometres. La Vista Bay is five minutes away, Marassi ten, Sidi Abdel Rahman fifteen.

The land came through Kayan for Real Estate Development under a ministerial decree via the North Coast Development Authority, and Tatweer Misr was the first developer to secure one on Dabaa land. Announced investment was more than EGP 7 billion over a six-year build. Dabaa sits between the prestige address at Sidi Abdel Rahman and the growth story at Ras El Hekma, which is a position and also a compromise.

How Big Is D-Bay and How Much Beach Does It Have?

Two hundred feddans, or 845,000 square metres, with 800 metres of sea frontage, 64,000 square metres of prepared beach and more than 1,800 residential units. Those figures come from Egyptian press and hold across four sources.

We write feddans, not acres, because 845,000 divided by 200 is 4,225 square metres, which is a feddan. Frontage over land gives D-Bay four metres of beach per feddan:

Two things are true at once. D-Bay North Coast leads every Tatweer Misr coastal project that publishes a sea-frontage figure, beating Salt and IL Monte Galala by forty to fifty per cent. It does not lead the coast. Marassi is ahead at 4.20, and Hacienda Blue by Palm Hills, at the same Kilo 165 in Dabaa, is ahead at 4.75.

Read the last column, because that is the one that matters. Metres of frontage per feddan equals 4,200 divided by average depth, so a high ratio is not a masterplanning trick. It is a shallow site. D-Bay North Coast has almost no back: the rear row sits about a kilometre from the water where Silversands runs to 2,172 metres and Hacienda Bay to 3,429. Not the biggest beachfront, the shortest walk to it.

How Does the Elevation Terracing Work?

A shallow site only gives its back rows a sea view if it climbs. The brochure sets out three bands and the height of each above sea level:

That ladder from three metres to twenty-eight is the most defensible feature of the masterplan. A unit at plus twenty-eight sits higher than an eight-storey building, which is why the rear band is named Seaview rather than Garden. Tatweer attributes the masterplan to the Italian firm Gianluca Peluffo & Partners, whose own project index lists Monte Galala rather than D-Bay, so read it as a developer statement.

Unit sizes from the floor-plan set: junior lofts at 70 sqm, one-bedroom chalets at 80 to 95, two and three-bedroom chalets at 95 to 110, seaside condos at 105 to 155, junior twinhouses at 165, lagoon-front villas at 280, and beachfront homes from 325 up to 916 sqm. Amenities named by the developer:

• Sports Society, the project’s athletic and club complex
• Sway & Play entertainment venue and a dedicated Event Platform
• Beach food and drink outlets, with cabana booking through Lemon Spaces
• SARAB, a three-stage music festival held on site
• A hotel and serviced apartments within the resort

There is no marina at D-Bay. Tatweer’s marinas are at Salt and IL Monte Galala. Any listing implying one here is wrong.

What Does a Unit at D-Bay Cost?

Tatweer Misr publishes no price list and no payment plan on its own website. Everything below is a portal quote captured on 30 September 2026, and the portals disagree widely.

Six portals quote six different starting prices across a sixfold range, which is why this article prints no prices-from figure. Resale is no tidier: PropertyFinder listed 256 D-Bay chalets in September 2026 spanning 1.1 to 64.7 million EGP, and on the first page alone a 95 square metre two-bedroom appeared at 9.5 million and again at 14.8 million.

What that spread reflects, in order of weight: which elevation band the unit sits in, how much of the payment plan is outstanding and transferable, finishing level, and floor. Ask for all four before comparing two numbers. A per-square-metre figure at D-Bay North Coast means nothing without the band attached.

Payment structures repeat consistently across portals: five per cent down over five years with a discount of up to thirty per cent, five per cent over eight or ten years, or ten per cent down over eight years, plus a ten per cent maintenance deposit.

What Are the Honest Downsides?

Beach per unit is the strongest argument against the project. Eight hundred metres of sand over 1,800 units gives 0.44 metres per home. Marassi gives 0.81. On the measure a buyer feels in August, looking for space on the sand, D-Bay is half as generous as its neighbour ten minutes away. Density follows: nine units per feddan against Marassi’s 5.2. The shallow plot that puts everyone near the water also puts everyone near each other.

Lagoons are a weak spot, not a selling point. The only sourced press figure is two lagoons totalling 2,600 square metres. Brokers claiming twenty-five feddans of crystal lagoon have nothing behind them, D-Bay is absent from Crystal Lagoons’ own portfolio while Fouka Bay and IL Monte Galala are in it, and Hacienda Blue at the same kilometre marker has twenty-four feddans on 118.

Scale caps the programme: no marina, no golf, one hotel. Marassi ten minutes away runs 6.5 kilometres of beach, more than 260 berths, eighteen holes of golf and seven operating hotels.

Delivery dates are a mess, and disclosure is the reason. Tatweer’s site says 2030 while portals say 2025, 2027 and 2028, and the company handed over more than a hundred units here in July 2023. Its project page prints the land size as a broken field and gives no lagoon area, no built-up ratio and no phase plan. For a project whose case rests on ratios, the buyer has to close that gap at the sales office.

Can Tatweer Misr Deliver It?

Founded 2014, led by co-founder and chief executive Dr Ahmed Shalaby. A 7.4 million square metre land bank across six developments, stated portfolio investment of USD 5.2 billion and about 34,000 units planned.

The record is mixed and worth stating plainly. Sales in 2024 came in at EGP 25 billion, down 22 per cent year on year, which the company disclosed itself. It targets EGP 43 billion in 2026, and first-quarter sales were USD 818 million. In August 2026 it raised EGP 3 billion from Al Taamir Leasing & Factoring specifically to accelerate construction at Fouka Bay and D-Bay.

No delivery-delay complaints or litigation naming Tatweer Misr appear in the public record, and a September 2026 Egyptian story on sector handover delays of up to ten years does not name it. Absence of coverage is not proof of a clean record, so take it as neutral rather than positive.

Final Word

D-Bay North Coast is not the biggest project on this coast and it does not have the most beach. It has a plot shallow enough that nobody is far from the water, and a ladder of elevations that hands sea views to rows which would be facing roofs anywhere else. Weigh that against 0.44 metres of beach per home and a developer that publishes less than it should. Contact D5 Realty and we will tell you which elevation band a unit sits in before you price it.
