Most young people aspire to live in an upscale and integrated services neighborhood for a better life for him and his children. What if all of this is found in a coastal city where he can spend his summer vacation, and live the rest of the year in its magical climate? This is what you will find in the New Alamein city.
The New Alamein city is one of the most important fourth-generation cities, with an area of 50,000 feddans.
The importance of the city is due to its location on the north coast, which attracts tourists and buyers who love its coastal atmosphere.
The city is located on Alexandria Matrouh International Road, at 48 km, but it is administratively within the Matrouh governorate.
Location of the New Alamein project
The city boundaries start from Wadi Al-Natroun to Al-Dabaa, and transfer the Alexandria-Matrouh Road from Kilo 33 to Wadi Al-Natrun to be the entrance to the city.

The city is divided into three segments: a tourist segment on the Mediterranean, a residential segment south of Alexandria Matrouh International Road, and a historical segment.
And it is divided into several sectors:

- An urban sector of universities and a regional service center
- The archeological area consists of an open museum, an international park, a recreational area, hotels, as well as port services
New Al Alamein Is Connected to the Cities
Although the city was built in the desert, the developers of the project made sure to connect with the cities around it so that they would not be isolated, thereby attracting investors and buyers to them.
The cities near Al Alamein are: Alexandria, Marsa Matrouh, and Cairo, so here are the common ways between them and the new Al Alamein project.
New Al Alamein is about 104 km from Alexandria to the west of Alexandria, and 116 km from the international road; it takes an hour and a half by road between the two cities.
It is also possible to take a car or Alexandria – Marsa Matrouh train which passes by Al Alamein.
