RAS EL HEKMA GUIDE · CITY DELIVERY

What is ready,
and where?

A road can be complete while a hotel is still preparing to open. A school serving local families does not automatically serve a new resort. Read each update with its date and place.

01 / WHEN EACH REPORT WAS PUBLISHED

Dates are not delivery promises.

The diagram separates three areas. The colours describe what the source reported. They do not measure how much of the city is finished.

Five dated delivery reports, in three separate areasA timeline of reports, not a map or completion percentage. Shams roads and school and an unnamed city hotel: 15 April.

02 / WHAT THE WORDS MEAN FOR YOU

Five reports. Five useful questions.

Shams El Hekma ·

Works reported complete

Shams El Hekma roads and utilities

The government reported completed infrastructure and roads in several alternative-housing sectors, plus electrical works and street lighting in urgent phases.

How to read this

This concerns housing for local families. It does not describe the roads or home connections inside Wadi Yemm or Hacienda.

Ask next

Which sector and address have working connections today?

Shams El Hekma ·

Operation reported

A school reported in operation

The government reported that an experimental school had started operating for the 2026 academic year.

How to read this

This is a resident-service report. The article gives no school name, entrance, admissions contact or eligibility rules. It does not establish a school serving Wadi buyers.

Ask next

What is the school’s name, who can enrol, and which year groups are open?

Ras El Hekma city ·

Opening expected

An unnamed hotel expected in summer

The developer was finishing a hotel that was expected to open that summer.

How to read this

The report does not name the hotel. The guide does not match it to Portaluna, Nammos or Montage. An expected season is not an opening record.

Ask next

Which hotel was meant, and is there a dated opening notice?

Regional transport ·

Construction reported

Ras El Hekma rail station

The transport minister inspected construction and finishing at Ras El Hekma station and other stations on the first high-speed line.

How to read this

The named station is useful evidence of construction. The article does not provide passenger opening, tickets, a timetable or a connection to a Wadi gate.

Ask next

Are passenger services running, and how would you travel from the station to your actual address?

Ras El Hekma city ·

Opening preparations

Portaluna opening preparations

The September visit reported final preparations for Portaluna’s opening, with 73 suites and seven restaurants.

How to read this

This is a named hotel report. It does not provide an accepted opening date, booking route or confirmation of its place among Wadi’s six planned hotels.

Ask next

Has the operator published an opening notice and a working reservation route?

03 / BEFORE MAKING PLANS

Find the address.
Then check the service.

About this comparison

These are five selected reports, not a complete directory. “Operation reported” means the government said a service had started. The guide has not directly confirmed present access, admissions, opening hours or passenger services. Unknown locations stay off the map.

The April hotel is unnamed. It is kept separate from September’s Portaluna report. No hotel identity, delay or completion rate is inferred by joining the two reports. Earlier delivery readers remain available in the September update and city desk.

Original diagram, comparisons and practical questions by Ras El Hekma Guide. Source dates remain attached to the reports; a review date does not make the facts current.

CITY LAND / READ THE APRIL REPORT

Land handover.
Home handover.
Two different things.

Before homes can be built, land must be transferred to the project company. A land-transfer report does not tell you that a home is finished, connected to services or ready for its buyer.

Report: 15 April 2026Guide review: 14 October 2026This is a dated record, not today’s transfer status.

Bars compare area on the same scale. Stripes mean procedures were underway. This is a chart, not a land map.
13,800 feddans

Land reported transferred

The report says this land had been officially delivered to the project company.

5,400 feddans

Further land: procedures underway

This is one of two further amounts mentioned in the report. It is not described as already delivered.

20,800 feddans

Further land: procedures underway

The report mentions this separately from the 5,400 feddans. It gives no plot-by-plot allocation.

What the numbers add up to

The three amounts add up to 40,000 feddans. The two amounts with procedures underway add up to 26,200 feddans. These are sums of the report’s figures, calculated by the guide. They are not a new city-area measurement or a construction progress rate.

A feddan is a land-area unit used in Egypt. We keep the report’s original unit. The article provides no land drawing or list of plots for these amounts. We cannot assign them to Wadi Yemm, Hacienda, a named city precinct or an individual home.

Three documents to ask about for your home

  1. The exact plot and phase. Ask which plan identifies your home and the land it sits on.
  2. The relevant land-transfer record. Ask whether the seller can show the transfer or development-rights record for that plot.
  3. Your home-delivery terms. Check the promised date, utilities and usable shared facilities in your own contract.

These are questions to take to the seller and your adviser. This chart cannot verify a particular contract or title.

Report and method
