About this guide

Ras Banas City is an independent guide to a city that does not exist yet. That is exactly why it needs rules.

Who runs this site

Ras Banas City is an independent publication, edited in Cairo by a small editorial team. It is not the official website of the Ras Banas project. It is not affiliated with the Egyptian government, the Red Sea Governorate, or any developer, investor or consultant working on the project. Nobody involved in the project has reviewed, approved or paid for anything on this site.

Why it exists

Ras Banas was announced in 2024 as one of several planned cities on Egypt’s Red Sea coast. Since then there has been a lot of talk and very little verified fact, and people searching for it mostly find rumours, recycled press releases and brokers selling something else. We wanted one place that says plainly what is known, what is expected, and what nobody knows yet.

How we check things

Every figure on this site carries one of three labels and a date:

• Confirmed An official statement from a government body or a named company, which we have read ourselves. We quote the month it was made.
• Reported Something published in the Egyptian or international press that has not been confirmed officially. We say so, and we do not repeat names of “expected” investors.
• Our estimate Our own calculation, with the method shown next to it. An estimate is a range to plan with, never a quote.

A number without a label and a date does not get published. We re-check the home page at least once a month and update the “Last checked” date when we do. When a developer publishes an official figure, it replaces our estimate the same week.

Corrections

If we got something wrong, tell us on WhatsApp. We fix it, and we note the correction with the date at the foot of the page it appeared on. We do not quietly edit.

How the site is paid for

Two ways, both disclosed on the page where they happen:

• Referral fee. If you register your interest and tell us you want to buy, we pass your request to an independent real estate broker we work with. If you later buy through them, they may pay us a referral fee. You never pay us anything. We are not a broker and we do not sell property.
• Affiliate links. On travel pages we may link to hotels, dive centres or tour operators and earn a small commission if you book. This does not change the price you pay.

Neither arrangement affects what we mark as confirmed, reported or estimated. If it ever did, the site would be worthless, including to us.

Your data

We collect only what you type into the register form or send us on WhatsApp. How it is used, who it is shared with, and how to opt out are set out in the privacy policy and disclaimer. Replying STOP on WhatsApp ends all messages.
