RAS EL HEKMA / GROUND, SEA & ENVIRONMENT

Behind
the city plan.

A masterplan shows intended development. Ground investigations, marine surveys and environmental records answer other questions. Read them together without turning a study into an approval or a plan label into a protected-area boundary.

Reviewed 2026-10-15 · five evidence readings · three complete Modon source drawings

THE PLANS

Separate reserve and lagoon labels.

The source drawings distinguish these two proposed components. Neither name establishes current public access or a legal boundary.

THE STUDIES

Reported work, with limits.

The available accounts describe ground and marine investigations. The guide has not verified their measured results for a particular home.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL RECORD

A start is different from a decision.

The 2024 government report records an assessment being started. An older proposed-reserve map remains a historical record.

THREE SOURCE DRAWINGS / TWO DIFFERENT COMPONENTS

Read the name.
Keep its source frame.

Compare the reserve and lagoon labels together, or focus on either original numbered circle. Each edition uses its own drawing coordinates. The full artwork is retained.

June component plan. Complete drawing; both names highlighted.

4

Coastal Park/Natural Reserve

A proposed landscape component in this drawing. The label alone does not establish a current government designation or its boundary.

14

Natural Lagoons

A separate water-area label in this drawing. Swimming rights, water management and current access need their own evidence.

These numbers belong to this drawing’s legend. They are not city precinct IDs. Changing the source edition does not establish a land-use change or a development sequence.

Rings mark source-image points. There is no geographic registration, surveyed boundary, borehole map, habitat map or current protected-area designation added here. Page scrolling works normally; there is no dragging or wheel capture.

One name does not keep one number across every brochure.

THE EVIDENCE / ITS SCALE / ITS LIMITS

Five records.
Five different meanings.

A ministry activity report, a contractor account, a consultant portfolio, an old national proposal and a development drawing should each be read for what they establish.

Government activity report

A strategic environmental assessment was started

Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency · 2024 report

Report year; no individual start day

What the record says

EEAA’s 2024 report records the start of a strategic environmental assessment for Ras El Hekma.

البدء فى التقييم البيئى الاستراتيجى لمشروع رأس الحكمة.

English reading: Starting the strategic environmental assessment for the Ras El Hekma project.

What it does not establish

This entry does not provide the final assessment, approval decision, attached conditions or a precinct boundary.

Source record and date context · 30eeaa reh assessment 2024

Source publication dates and review dates are separate. A reported scope or assignment period does not certify completion.

Contractor-published project account

Ground investigation is described by its contractor

Horema · Date unverified

Publication and fieldwork dates unverified

What the record says

Horema names Modon as client and Dar as consultant. Its Ras El Hekma account describes drilling, groundwater monitoring, geophysical investigation, laboratory testing and reports prepared by development parcel.

What it does not establish

The guide has not verified the borehole locations, measured ground results, completed scope or recommendations for any particular home.

Source publication dates and review dates are separate. A reported scope or assignment period does not certify completion.

Consultant-published assignment

A marine survey assignment is listed

Middle East EnviroTech · 2024–2025

Assignment period printed in the portfolio

What the record says

The consultancy lists a Ras El Hekma environmental profile and marine-survey assignment for Modon Development Egypt. Its scope covers seabed and ocean data, marine communities and sensitivity mapping.

What it does not establish

The portfolio is not the survey report or an approval certificate. It does not establish habitat locations, measured water quality or safe swimming conditions for a beach.

Historical proposed-area record

An older national map proposed a Ras El Hekma reserve

Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency · Map labelled through 2005

Map time label; source publication day unknown

What the record says

A historical EEAA biodiversity map places Ras El Hekma in its future-reserves table, under key 7. Its caption refers to declared and future reserves through 2005.

What it does not establish

This is not evidence of a current designation, a current protected-area boundary or a match to Wadi’s Natural Reserve label. PDF creation and website upload dates do not update the old map.

Proposed components on source drawings

The Wadi drawings use two different nature labels

Modon · supplied plans · June toolkit and two brochures received 2 October 2026

Edition month and attachment receipt; not opening dates

What the record says

Coastal Park/Natural Reserve and Natural Lagoons have separate markers in June. The two October brochure copies also distinguish Natural Reserve from Natural Lagoons, with different legend numbers.

What it does not establish

The labels do not establish legal status, water management, swimming rights or public entry. Similar wording does not connect them to the historical national proposal.

ONE ACTUAL SITE / ONE SET OF ANSWERS

Connect the document
to the place.

These questions help organise a discussion with the developer and the professionals reviewing the site. They do not confirm that a particular document, approval or service exists.

  1. Match the site

    Which exact site, drawing revision and home reference do these documents cover?

  2. Keep the dates separate

    What are the fieldwork dates, report date, approval date and latest revision?

  3. Read the ground evidence

    Which factual ground records and signed design recommendations apply to this parcel?

  4. Check the water arrangements

    What current groundwater, drainage and water-management information applies to the building or landscape?

  5. Read the shoreline evidence

    Which survey footprint, measured findings and marine conditions apply to this shoreline?

  6. Identify the decision

    Which current environmental decision and site-specific conditions can be identified?

  7. Check the nature label

    Is the name a proposed landscape component, a historical proposal or a current official designation?

  8. Confirm use and access

    Who may enter or use the park, lagoon or shoreline, under which current terms?
