This "city of the future" is planned as a large-scale tourist complex, financial center and free trade zone with world-class infrastructure. The project also includes the construction of its own airport. The Egyptian government has allocated land plots for the construction of an international airport, which is another step towards the realization of this ambitious initiative.

The tourist complex will be built on the site of the current small town with a population of about 10 thousand people and will cover an araea of more than 170 square kilometers. An Emirati company, which has also received a $35 billion investment from the UAE, is responsible for the project. It is expected that construction will begin in early 2025 and the resort will be able to attract up to 8 million tourists annually.

Ras al-Hekma, located in Matrouh province on the Northern Mediterranean coast, is a historic site and a point of attraction for many. Standing on a prominent promontory, it is considered a symbol of the western gateway and has a rich historical heritage. It was formerly a port for ships and a vacation spot for kings and presidents. Today, however, Ras al-Hekma is being targeted for large-scale development to meet the modern demands of tourism and investment.
