Mar Bay Village in Ras El Hekma sits at Km 191 of the Alexandria–Matrouh coastal road and spans roughly 640 feddans. The project includes chalets, standalone villas, townhouses, twin houses and hospitality units, within a tiered master plan designed to widen the view toward the sea and the lakes.
Al Marasem Development is developing the project as its coastal destination in Ras El Hekma, while the international firm BDP took part in preparing the master plan.

Mar Bay size and master plan
The project spans about 640 feddans, with a depth of roughly 2.2 kilometres from the road to the sea. The plan distributes units across graded levels, so the views are not limited to the front row alone.
The master plan data indicates that the largest share of the area is allocated to gardens, lakes, services and roads, with the building footprint kept small. The project also has an extended swimmable lake running through a large part of the master plan.
The graded levels do not mean every unit sees the sea to the same degree; the view is affected by the building's position and height, the direction of the terrace and the units in front of it.

Mar Bay chalets
Some coastal sizes start from about 80 m², and the chalets vary by number of bedrooms, floor and view.
The experience of use differs between:
- A ground-floor chalet tied to a garden.
- A repeated floor that offers a terrace and a higher view.
- A penthouse that may include a roof or a larger outdoor space.
- A unit close to the sea.
- A chalet overlooking the inland lake.

Coastal villas and houses
Standalone villas offer the highest degree of privacy, while a twin house is a home joined to one villa on one side. A townhouse suits those who want a garden and a private entrance, with a smaller size and usually a lower price than a standalone villa.
When comparing houses, the sales team explains:
- The built-up area.
- The land area.
- The garden size.
- The number of bedrooms.
- The home's position in the row.
- The direction of the view.
- The distance to the sea.
- Car parking.
- The finishing and air conditioning.

Project design
The design rests on contemporary facades in calm colors that suit the coastal setting. Terraces connect the living areas to the outdoor spaces, while wide openings let in light and take advantage of the view.
The tiered planning raises some areas gradually, with lakes and gardens distributed among the residential neighborhoods. Pedestrian and cycling paths link the units to the various facilities.

Al Marasem and the Mar Bay project
Mar Bay represents Al Marasem's expansion into the coastal market after its residential projects in New Cairo and New Zayed. The company took the role of master and exclusive developer of the project, bringing in BDP to develop the master plan.
Mar Bay differs from Fifth Square and Mar Ville in how it is used; it is a coastal project built around the beach, seasonal stays and leisure activities, with some units usable for longer periods thanks to the variety of services.
