Project Overview

Taba Steps Resort is a 5-star beachfront development on the Gulf of Aqaba in Taba, South Sinai, Egypt, offered for sale as a single asset at an asking price of EUR 11M. The project spans roughly 213,000 m² and comprises a 240-room hotel, 20 villas, a casino approved in principle by the Ministry of Tourism, a private beach reached by bridge, a marina for about 150 yachts, restaurants and cafes, a shopping arcade, conference and business facilities, spa and fitness, pools and underground parking. It sits directly on the sea with immediate access to the international road, 30 km from Taba International Airport. A January 2020 feasibility study modelled about US$20.5M of total investment and indicated a 24% IRR and ~4.5-year payback; these are historical projections, not a current valuation, and the asset's physical, legal and financial status should be confirmed through due diligence.

Key points

Private Beach & 150-Yacht Marina

Taba Steps Resort includes a private beach reached by a dedicated bridge and a marina with capacity for about 150 yachts on the Gulf of Aqaba. The brochure describes a planned underwater restaurant within the marina complex as a signature feature, alongside direct Red Sea access known for its coral reefs — positioning the waterfront and marina as central to the project's leisure proposition.

5-Star Resort with Approved Casino

The resort is planned around full 5-star facilities: 240 rooms and 20 villas, 3 restaurants and 3 cafes, a shopping arcade, business and conference centre, spa, beauty and fitness, swimming pools and Jacuzzi, a night club and three private underground car parks. The Ministry of Tourism has approved the application for a casino, subject to 5-star status and complete legal documentation — a rare feature in the region, to be confirmed as part of due diligence.

    FAQ

    • What is Taba Steps Resort?

      Taba Steps Resort is a 5-star beachfront resort in Taba, South Sinai, Egypt, offered for sale as a single whole asset at an asking price of EUR 11M. It comprises a 240-room hotel, 20 villas, a casino, restaurants and cafes, a private beach and a marina for about 150 yachts, on a plot of roughly 213,000 m2.

    • Where is Taba Steps Resort located?

      The resort is on the Gulf of Aqaba (Red Sea) in Taba, South Sinai, with direct sea frontage and immediate access to the international road. It is 30 km from Taba International Airport, 200 km from Sharm El-Sheikh, 15 km from the port of Eilat (Israel), and about 30 km from the port of Aqaba (Jordan) and from Saudi Arabia.

    • What does the project include?

      Per the brochure specifications: 5-star rating, a 240-room hotel, 20 villas, 3 restaurants, 3 cafes, a casino, a private beach, a 150-yacht marina, a shopping mall, a business centre, conference facilities, a beauty centre and fitness, a spa, swimming pools and Jacuzzi, a night club and 3 private underground car parks. A note on figures: the brochure lists 20 villas and 240 rooms, while other supplied documents mention 30 villas and a room split of 108 + 70; these should be confirmed on inspection.

    • What is the asking price?

      The asking price is EUR 11M for the whole asset. For context, that is about 54% of the US$20.5M total investment contemplated in the January 2020 feasibility study. This is a simple cross-currency comparison, not a valuation conclusion.

    • What returns did the feasibility study project?

      The January 2020 study projected an IRR of about 24%, a payback of approximately 4.5 years, 10-year net profit of about US$31.4M and total cash inflows of about US$68.8M, with operations from 2022. In a downside case of a 30% cut to net profit, it still modelled ~19% IRR and ~5.6-year payback. Important: these are historical projections based on owner-supplied information that the study did not independently verify. They are not a current valuation and are subject to due diligence.

    • What is the current status of the project?

      The available materials are based on a January 2020 feasibility study, and the brochure shows existing structures on site. The current completion status, remaining construction and fit-out, and the capital expenditure needed to finish and open the resort are not confirmed here and should be verified by the buyer through inspection and due diligence.

    • Is there a casino licence?

      According to the brochure, the Ministry of Tourism approved the application for a casino at the resort, provided it is a 5-star hotel and holds all legal documentation required for gaming in the Sinai Peninsula. The current status of this approval should be confirmed as part of due diligence.

    • Can foreign investors buy property in Egypt / Sinai?

      Egypt permits foreign investment in tourism assets, but the Sinai Peninsula is subject to specific land-ownership and security rules that commonly require structures such as long-term usufruct/lease or ownership through an Egyptian company rather than direct freehold. The exact ownership structure and title must be confirmed with qualified Egyptian legal counsel before any transaction.

    • What due diligence is recommended?

      A buyer should independently verify: legal title, land rights and planning/development status; physical condition and completion status; remaining construction, fit-out and capital expenditure; current operating, tourism and market conditions in Taba; hotel/resort management arrangements; achievable room rates, occupancy and ancillary revenues; and all licences, permits, concessions and marina/beach rights. The 2020 feasibility study should be treated as supporting context, not as a current valuation.
