SODIC announces the official opening of Nobu North Coast at Ogami

The world-renowned lifestyle brand makes its highly anticipated Egyptian debut at OGAMI, SODIC’s signature development on the North Coast 

SODIC proudly announces the opening of Nobu North Coast at OGAMI, marking the official arrival of the globally renowned lifestyle brand in Egypt. Now open, Nobu North Coast brings its contemporary Japanese cuisine, timeless design, and iconic fine dining to the country for the first time, introducing a new layer of luxury to one of the region’s most vibrant summer destinations. 

Since its inception, Nobu has been synonymous with unforgettable experiences, instinctive design, and a passionate approach to service. At Nobu North Coast, guests will enjoy globally celebrated signature dishes – including the famed Yellowtail Jalapeño – alongside locally inspired creations crafted exclusively for Egypt. In true Nobu fashion, the restaurant reflects the rhythm of its surroundings, blending understated elegance with a sun-soaked, beachside energy. 

More than a restaurant, Nobu North Coast embodies the brand’s philosophy of Kokoro – a heartfelt connection between design, service, and experience. Designed by the internationally renowned architecture and design firm Rockwell Group, whose portfolio spans Nobu destinations worldwide, the space captures the spirit of the Mediterranean through Nobu’s signature design language. The interiors incorporate natural textures, light woods, and refined geometric accents, offering a relaxed yet elevated setting that speaks to both international guests and the region’s discerning summer audience. 

This summer, Nobu North Coast comes to life with a series of curated events, cultural experiences, and global activations, creating a series of unforgettable moments that celebrate the spirit of Nobu in Egypt. 

Ayman Amer, General Manager of SODIC, commented: “The arrival of Nobu at OGAMi marks a transformative moment for the North Coast. This partnership reflects our commitment to curating world-class experiences and introducing global icons to Egypt in a way that feels both thoughtful and distinctly local. Nobu is not just a restaurant; it encapsulates everything OGAMI stands for: intentional design, elevated hospitality, and a bold new standard for coastal living.” 

Nobu North Coast is the first expression of a much larger vision unfolding at the heart of OGAMI, SODIC’s signature development, that redefines coastal living through a unique blend of Japanese minimalism and Mediterranean warmth. Spanning 440 acres along Egypt’s North Coast, OGAMI is designed as a complete lifestyle ecosystem, where wellness, design, and hospitality come together. Recently awarded “Master Plan of the Year” at the 2025 Architecture Leaders Awards by Design Middle East, Ogami is poised to redefine luxury living on the Mediterranean. 

Following the restaurant’s debut, SODIC will unveil Nobu Residences – a curated collection of homes that bring Nobu’s signature philosophy into everyday living. Nobu Hotel will complete the vision, offering guests and residents a fully immersive Nobu experience on Egypt’s North Coast. 

SODIC’s long-term partnership with Nobu will extend beyond the coast. Plans are underway to bring Nobu Hotels, Restaurants, and Residences to SODIC’s flagship projects in The Estates and Eastown District New Cairo (EDNC), reinforcing SODIC’s vision for a new standard of luxury living across Egypt.
