Radisson to Open North Coast Resort, Unlocking Egypt’s Next Major Leisure Destination Radisson to Open North Coast Resort, Unlocking Egypt’s Next Major Leisure Destination

Radisson Hotel Group is set to make a significant mark on Egypt’s hospitality landscape with the signing of the Radisson Resort North Coast, a new upscale beachfront property that promises to elevate the country’s rapidly transforming northern shoreline. Scheduled to welcome guests in 2029, this ambitious project will be Radisson’s first venture in the dynamic North Coast region, signaling the area’s emergence as one of Egypt’s—and Africa’s—most promising leisure tourism hotspots.

Strategically located in Dauwar Abd el Ati Abu Aguz, the resort will occupy a prime stretch of Egypt’s burgeoning North Coast, an area witnessing unprecedented investment in resort infrastructure and lifestyle amenities. With 250 luxury hotel rooms and an equal number of branded residences—including 30 family rooms and an exclusive presidential suite—the Radisson Resort North Coast is poised to cater to diverse guest needs, from families and international holidaymakers to business travelers seeking a blend of work and relaxation with sweeping views of the Mediterranean shoreline.

Guests will have access to six distinctive food and beverage venues, ensuring a rich culinary experience that spans local, regional, and international flavors. The resort is designed with group events and corporate retreats in mind, boasting a spacious 740-square-metre meeting and events space equipped to host conferences, weddings, and special occasions. Wellness is also a central focus, with dedicated spa and fitness facilities, while younger guests will enjoy kids and teens clubs and an expansive outdoor aqua park. Direct access to a private beach completes the offering, providing exclusive leisure opportunities for all age groups.

This latest addition to the Radisson portfolio is strategically positioned just 73 kilometers from Alexandria and within easy reach of two major international gateways: Borg El Arab International Airport (45 minutes away) and El Alamein International Airport (60 minutes away). Together, these airports connect the region to over 30 international destinations, underpinning the North Coast’s appeal as a globally accessible, year-round leisure destination for African and international travelers alike.

The region’s transformation is being fueled by substantial government-led infrastructure upgrades and the emergence of large-scale urban developments such as New Alamein City and Marina 8. These projects are redefining the North Coast as a hub for upscale leisure tourism, with modern highways, entertainment venues, and premium real estate developments paving the way for a new era of growth. For the African travel sector, such advancements offer compelling opportunities to diversify product offerings and attract new market segments drawn to Egypt’s evolving coastal allure.

With the signing of Radisson Resort North Coast, Radisson Hotel Group is not only expanding its footprint in Egypt but also reinforcing its commitment to Africa’s hospitality sector. The group’s investment in the North Coast reflects confidence in the region’s potential to rival established Mediterranean destinations, offering world-class amenities, stunning scenery, and access to a wealth of cultural and natural attractions.

For travel professionals across Africa, the upcoming resort presents an opportunity to develop innovative packages that combine the North Coast’s pristine beaches with Egypt’s rich historical and urban experiences. The property’s versatile event spaces, family-friendly amenities, and proximity to major airports position it as an ideal venue for everything from luxury getaways and destination weddings to corporate retreats and incentive travel.

Looking ahead, the development of Radisson Resort North Coast is expected to accelerate the shift of Egypt’s tourism focus beyond Cairo and the Red Sea, establishing the North Coast as a must-visit destination for both regional and international travelers. As infrastructure continues to improve and hospitality offerings diversify, the area is set to become a central pillar in Egypt’s tourism strategy—one that travel businesses across sub-Saharan Africa should watch closely for future collaboration and business growth.

In summary, Radisson’s planned North Coast resort is more than just a new property; it is a signal of the evolving ambitions of Egypt’s tourism sector and the growing appetite for sophisticated, year-round leisure experiences along Africa’s Mediterranean rim.
