Naia Bay in North Coast, Egypt by Naia

Developer History: NAIA Developments

NAIA Developments (formerly known as Jumeirah Egypt) is a major player in the Egyptian real estate market, officially rebranding in 2021 to align with its new vision of "Liquid Luxury" and "Water Nymph" (the meaning of Naia) inspired living. Led by Eng. Hisham El Danasoury, the company manages a capital of EGP 100 million and a massive investment portfolio exceeding EGP 46 billion.

• Engineering Edge: The developer is unique because it owns its own construction equipment, allowing for more stable pricing and strictly controlled delivery timelines compared to developers who rely entirely on external contractors.
• Strategic Partnerships: They collaborate with global giants like the Accor Group (managing the upcoming Swissôtel & Swissôtel Residence) and Crystal Lagoons® to ensure international-standard hospitality and amenities.
• Key Portfolio:
• NAIA Bay (Ras El Hekma): Their flagship Mediterranean destination.
• NAIA West (New Zayed): A 140-acre "Smart City" compound on the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road.
• Vida Marassi Marina: One of their earlier prestigious residential collaborations.
