Qatar News Agency reported that Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly described the Alam Al Roum project as one of the most prominent investment partnerships between Egypt and Qatari Diar. Madbouly underlined its alignment with national efforts to optimise coastal land through modern urban and tourist communities developed according to contemporary planning criteria. He added that the initiative would advance sustainable development while creating a destination capable of operating throughout the year.
Sheikh Hamad bin Talal Al-Thani expressed appreciation for advancements visible across Egypt’s North Coast. The Qatari Diar CEO stated the company would execute the project to the highest international standards through cooperation with leading global enterprises. Qatari Diar information shows the result will be a fully integrated urban city consistent with Egypt’s vision for comprehensive regional growth.
Discussions during the meeting examined proposed layouts that incorporate educational and healthcare installations together with residential, hotel, commercial and entertainment districts. A range of supporting services intended for residents and visitors received attention as well. Project outlines from Qatari Diar place the total area at approximately 4,900 acres fronted by 7.2 kilometres of Mediterranean shoreline.
Qatari Diar concluded the foundational investment partnership agreement with Egypt’s New Urban Communities Authority in November 2025 to develop the Alam Al Roum location in Matrouh Governorate. The firm, which operates as part of the Qatar Investment Authority, maintains other Egyptian developments such as the St. Regis Cairo and CityGate New Cairo. This venture stands among the largest urban and tourism schemes on the Mediterranean seaboard.
The Egyptian Presidency has set a target of at least 12 percent annual economic growth for the western North Coast through coordinated infrastructure and investment programmes. National planning emphasises conversion of the region from primarily seasonal tourism into a continuously active economic zone. Such efforts also seek to ease demographic concentration within the Nile Valley and Delta.
The overall $29.7 billion commitment will supply a balanced selection of amenities serving both permanent inhabitants and transient guests. Plans assessed in the latest talks conform to wider objectives for raising construction and operational benchmarks along the entire coastline. Qatari Diar has confirmed that its alliances with prominent international specialists will secure delivery at the required quality level.
