About New Cairo

New Cairo is Cairo's master-planned eastern district, a 50,000-hectare urban expansion that has become the city's preferred residential area for affluent Egyptian families and expatriates seeking modern compound living. The district is anchored by the American University in Cairo (AUC) main campus, the new ring road, and dozens of gated compounds with premium amenities (Palm Hills, Mountain View, Mivida, Katameya Heights, Allegria). Residential prices in major compounds run EGP 40,000-85,000 per square metre (USD 800-1,700) with gross yields of 7.5-10.0%. Most premium compounds price units in USD, providing a natural hedge against EGP volatility. Lifestyle is family-driven and compound-based: international schools (CAC moved a campus, Choueifat, BSC), AUC, premium malls (Cairo Festival City, Point 90), and modern dining.
