DUA in Makadi Heights, Hurghada by Orascom Development

About DUA Makadi Heights

DUA is an apartment neighborhood inside Makadi Heights, Orascom Development’s town in Makadi Bay. Its appeal is straightforward: a home with room to enjoy the outdoors, places to meet neighbors, and access to the wider town’s day-to-day services. DUA is one part of Makadi Heights, so its homes and features should be considered separately from the larger destination.

Orascom lists 445 apartments in DUA, with one-, two- and three-bedroom homes. This makes it a focused choice for people looking for an apartment in a Red Sea community, whether they plan to visit on holidays or spend more time in Hurghada. The neighborhood is planned around shared open space and activities for different ages, giving residents something to do beyond their own front door.

Makadi Heights itself covers 3.4 million square meters and sits on elevated land in Makadi Bay. Those figures describe the whole town, not DUA alone. The larger setting matters because DUA residents can use a broader range of shops, sports venues, family spaces and essential services while living in a distinct apartment neighborhood.

DUA Location in Makadi Bay

DUA sits within Makadi Heights, south of Hurghada in the Red Sea governorate. The Hurghada–Safaga road connects Makadi Bay with the city and other destinations along the coast. For residents, the main location benefit is the balance between a quieter place to stay and practical access to Hurghada’s airport and services.

Orascom gives these approximate journeys from Makadi Heights; traffic and the exact starting point can change the trip:

• 15 min. to Hurghada International Airport

• 20 min. to downtown Hurghada

• 40 min. to El Gouna

The location also makes short outings around Makadi Bay easy to plan. These are other named resort communities in the area:

• Makadina

• Stella Makadi Gardens

• Jaz Makadi Saraya

DUA Master Plan and Outdoor Spaces

DUA’s plan brings its 445 apartments together with green corridors and shared outdoor areas. Rather than treating open land as leftover space, the neighborhood uses it to connect homes with places to walk, pause and spend time with other residents. Parks and walking paths give everyday movement a more pleasant setting. Water features and pools are also part of the outdoor experience described for the neighborhood and the wider Makadi Heights town.

Activity is another clear part of the plan. Open-air exercise areas and spaces for sports, including skateboarding, add options beyond a standard indoor gym. Community gathering areas offer a place for families, friends and neighbors to meet. The goal is a neighborhood where a quick walk and an afternoon outdoors both feel easy to fit into the day.

Greenbelts serve as both walking routes and cycling corridors. They connect the housing clusters with parks and neighborhood centers, so moving through DUA is part of the outdoor experience. The project material also shows a series of small neighborhood parks intended to be within a five-minute walk, together with courtyards, multi-use lawns and a community playground. Those details matter more to daily life than a single large garden that is far from the apartment. A courtyard offers a quieter place to sit, while a lawn can accommodate different activities at different times.

DUA's building plan includes several apartment configurations, marked Type A through Type G in the published zone information. The types differ in the number of homes in each building, the bedroom mix and the stated size ranges. This variety allows the neighborhood to keep a consistent apartment focus without making every building identical. It also means that the position of a specific home within its building and the green corridor outside are worth looking at together when comparing layouts.

The wider Makadi Heights plan sits on land rising to 78 meters above sea level. The town’s elevation helps shape its views, but the outlook from any DUA apartment depends on its position and orientation. The neighborhood’s own plan is best understood through its apartment layout and shared spaces; the town’s overall land area and elevation are not measurements of DUA.

Facilities Available Through Makadi Heights

A DUA home is part of a larger destination with services that support both short stays and a longer routine. Makadi Heights lists a clubhouse, commercial areas, medical facilities, sports facilities, children’s spaces, hotels and an educational hub. These are town-wide offerings, so the walk or drive from a particular apartment to each one will vary.

• Clubhouse: a social place for meeting, resting and spending time away from home.

• Commercial areas: shops and dining options for everyday needs and casual outings.

• Medical facilities: access to care within the larger town.

• Sports and family spaces: venues for exercise and areas designed for children.

• Educational hub: another part of the town’s plan for people considering longer stays.

These services are useful because they reduce the need to leave Makadi Heights for every errand or activity. DUA supplies the residential setting; the parent town supplies many of the supporting destinations. Their exact operation and access arrangements should be read from the current project information for the selected home.

Orascom identifies football, padel and tennis courts and a gym within Makadi Heights, as well as a clinic, pharmacy, preschool and children's play areas. This gives a clearer picture of what the broader facilities list means in practice. The sports courts are part of the town's wider program; they should not be confused with the outdoor exercise and skateboarding spaces highlighted in DUA's own planning. The same distinction applies to the commercial and medical facilities: they help support residents of the neighborhood, while their location is within Makadi Heights rather than necessarily inside DUA.

DUA Apartments in Hurghada

DUA is an apartment offering. The developer lists homes with:

• One bedroom

• Two bedrooms

• Three bedrooms

The choice of size lets individuals and families select a home that fits how they use Makadi Bay. Layouts, views and outdoor spaces depend on the specific apartment. Villas, townhouses and other home types advertised elsewhere in Makadi Heights belong to the wider town and should not be described as DUA property types.

The published building models span roughly 67 to 137 square meters, with different ranges for each model. A one-bedroom home and a larger family apartment therefore serve different needs within the same neighborhood. The developer's zone plan is the clearest way to match a particular apartment to its building type, location and surrounding space.

What Makes DUA Distinct?

DUA focuses on apartments and shared activity. That is a clear identity within Makadi Heights, where other neighborhoods may have different home types or layouts. The mix of green routes, places to exercise outside and gathering spaces can make a stay feel active without requiring a full schedule. Residents can take part when they want and use the apartment as a quiet base at other times.

The setting also serves more than one way of living. A holiday visit can revolve around time outdoors and activities in the town. A longer stay benefits from access to shops, health services and family facilities. These are practical differences, rather than a promise that every amenity is directly beside every apartment.

About Orascom Development

Orascom Development creates destinations that combine homes with services and places to spend time. At Makadi Heights, that approach goes beyond individual buildings: the company has planned residential neighborhoods alongside facilities used throughout the town. DUA shows a smaller part of that idea, with apartments and common areas designed for an active daily routine. Orascom’s experience across several destinations is relevant to the way it connects housing, hospitality and public space. Each place has its own character, so the details of another Orascom project should not be taken as a description of DUA. Other developments in the company’s portfolio include:

• El Gouna

• O West

• Taba Heights
