Ras El Bar · Damietta · Egypt — 31°31′N 31°50′E
A coastal waterfront development where the Nile meets the Mediterranean — food, public life and sea air on one promenade.
Transforming the Ras El Bar waterfront into a vibrant, sustainable destination that celebrates its maritime identity — and gives the promenade back to public life.
SanBay knits together a food court plaza, a landmark waterfront restaurant and a family of kiosks along a pedestrian-first coastal promenade — low-rise, sea-facing and built from durable marine-grade materials.
Every element is designed for the Mediterranean climate: shaded public space, native terraced landscaping and energy-efficient, climate-resilient construction.

Faceted parametric canopies shelter a constellation of street-food counters, stone seating islands and open gathering space — a town square tuned for warm coastal evenings.
Sited on the promenade point where the town grid meets the sea, the restaurant pairs a sculptural wavy roof with full-height glazing — multi-level dining wrapped in terraced native landscaping.
Inside, double-height dining rooms in plaster and travertine — arched niches, clustered glass pendants and living olive trees under skylit ceilings.
From geometric timber coffee kiosks to themed novelty carts — a kit of parts that lets local vendors plug into the promenade.
Festivals, markets and music on the waterfront. Pick a date and add it straight to your calendar.
