Best Compounds in New Cairo (2026): Prices, Delivery Dates and Developer Comparison

Description

New Cairo is the deepest compound market R1 Properties tracks: 38 developments, 30 of them currently carrying a live, priced unit model in R1’s Market DB, spanning entry prices from EGP 4.5 million to over EGP 130 million. That range is the whole story of New Cairo in one line — this is not one market, it is four or five markets stacked on top of each other under a single area name. Below is a breakdown by budget tier, sourced directly from R1’s live pricing database as of 29 August 2026, so every figure here is a current asking price, not a rumour from a broker group.

New Cairo by the numbers

Across R1’s full New Cairo dataset, entry prices for a priced unit model start at EGP 4.5 million (The Square, Al Ahly Sabbour — currently sold out) and run past EGP 130 million for standalone villas at Mountain View’s MV The Villas. The bulk of the active market — the compounds still selling units today — clusters between EGP 7 million and EGP 30 million for a first unit, with luxury and ultra-luxury phases pushing well beyond that.

Entry-level: under EGP 10 million

This tier is where most first-time New Cairo buyers land. Palm Hills Katameya (PK1), delivering in 2026, starts at EGP 5,000,000 and Palm Hills prices the same compound’s larger units up to EGP 85,000,000, so the entry price buys into a project with real range once you’re in. The Qube (Alqamzi Group) opens at EGP 5,100,000. Creekview, a newer Mountain View launch delivering 2029, starts at EGP 5,400,000 and tops out at EGP 14,622,347 for its priced models. Hyde Park New Cairo is tightly banded, EGP 6,500,000 to EGP 7,300,000, delivering 2029. Village Gardens Katameya (VGK), already delivered by Palm Hills, starts at EGP 6,875,000 and its resale-relevant upper units reach EGP 16,000,000 — a useful comparison point for buyers weighing new launches against a compound that’s already built and landscaped.

Taj City (MMHD / Madinet Masr) deserves its own mention here: entry is EGP 7,378,953, but the project’s range runs all the way to EGP 77,861,337, making it one of the widest single-compound spans in New Cairo — small apartments and large standalone villas sit in the same masterplan.

Mid-market: EGP 10–20 million

This band is where delivery timelines start to matter more than entry price. Palm Hills New Cairo starts at EGP 8,527,000 with delivery staged 2028–2030 and a top price of EGP 30,132,000. Mayan New Cairo (STM Developments) opens at EGP 8,700,000, delivering 2027. District 5 (Marakez) starts at EGP 9,500,000 but has real ultra-luxury depth — its top-priced units reach EGP 59,633,000, delivering 2026. El Patio Oro (La Vista), delivering this cycle from 2023, opens at EGP 9,600,000 and reaches EGP 32,890,000. La Vista Linea starts at EGP 9,800,000, delivery 2027, topping EGP 34,980,000. Just over the EGP 10 million line, Eastshire (Alqamzi Group) and Mountain View iCity New Cairo both open at EGP 12,000,000 — iCity’s range is the widest in this band, running to nearly EGP 88,000,000 for its largest priced models.

Upper mid-market and luxury: EGP 20 million and up

Swan Lake Residences New Cairo (Hassan Allam Properties) opens at EGP 13,000,000 with a top price of EGP 142,100,000 — the widest range of any compound in the dataset, reflecting a mix of apartments and large standalone villas under one name, delivering in phases from 2024 to 2027. Solana East (Ora Developers), a 2030-delivery launch, starts at EGP 13,955,000. El Patio Town (La Vista), still in the launching phase for 2028 delivery, opens at EGP 22,500,000. Palmet and 97 Hills, both Palm Hills projects delivering 2029–2030, start at EGP 25,694,000 and EGP 26,760,000 respectively — this is New Cairo’s newest luxury supply, priced accordingly for delivery three to four years out.

At the very top, Mountain View’s standalone-villa product, MV The Villas, carries a single priced model at EGP 134,126,970 — a reminder that “New Cairo” as a search term covers everything from a five-million-pound apartment to a nine-figure villa, often within the same three or four kilometres.

What the data doesn’t show — and why it matters

Eight of the 38 compounds R1 tracks in New Cairo, including Eastown (SODIC) and Mountain View Hyde Park, currently have no priced unit model in the database — either because the developer hasn’t released fresh pricing, or because the compound is effectively sold out at the primary level and only resale units remain. That is exactly where R1’s live resale listings fill the gap: verified resale units in Eastown, Villette and other primary-sold-out New Cairo compounds surface there with current asking prices from actual sellers, not developer price lists.

Delivery date is the other variable worth weighing against price. A compound like Village Gardens Katameya is already delivered and landscaped — you can walk it before you buy. A compound like MV The Villas or 97 Hills, delivering in 2029–2030, is priced on a masterplan and renderings. Neither is wrong, but they are different products, and R1’s compare tool lines up entry price, price per square metre, payment plan and delivery year side by side for any set of New Cairo compounds so the trade-off is explicit rather than buried in a brochure.

How to use this if you’re actually buying

Start with budget, not compound name. If EGP 5–7 million is the ceiling, Palm Hills Katameya, The Qube, Creekview and Hyde Park New Cairo are the live, currently-selling options — check delivery year against your own timeline, since Creekview and Hyde Park New Cairo both run to 2029. If the budget stretches to EGP 10–20 million, District 5, El Patio Oro and La Vista Linea are worth comparing directly against each other on price per square metre and payment plan length rather than headline price alone, since all three carry meaningfully different unit mixes at similar entry points. Above EGP 20 million, the newest luxury launches (Palmet, 97 Hills, El Patio Town) compete less on price and more on masterplan design, amenity package and developer track record — three things a spreadsheet can’t fully capture, which is why a site visit matters more the higher the ticket size.
