Qatari Diar apartments for sale in Egypt

How do Sapphire Residence and resale apartments differ?

The first difference between Sapphire Residence apartments and resale apartments at City Gate is finishing: Sapphire Residence units are delivered fully finished in 2030, while resale apartments vary between finished and unfinished and deliver between 2026 and 2028.

The second is the price band: Sapphire Residence runs from EGP 7,760,000 to EGP 19,250,000 across 67 to 173 sqm, while resale runs from EGP 8,400,000 to EGP 53,000,000 across 67 to 337 sqm. The resale market therefore holds much larger units than the developer currently offers.

The third is the payment plan: Sapphire Residence carries a published plan of 5% down over ten years in quarterly instalments, while a resale unit depends on an agreement between the buyer and the current owner and whatever remains of the original contract instalments.

Are there apartments at Alam Al Roum?

The announced mix at Alam Al Roum includes luxury apartments alongside chalets, townhouses and villas, but Qatari Diar had published no official size or price schedule for those apartments as at the date of this page.

The closest available product for a buyer seeking a small coastal unit is the chalet: Sandside Lagoons chalets with two bedrooms across 80 to 125 sqm, with circulating figures from EGP 15,600,000 for a 125 sqm unit per marketing portals in August 2026.

What should be checked before buying an apartment?

Four items should be checked before buying a Qatari Diar apartment: the finishing standard on delivery, the floor number and the unit's outlook, the contractual handover date, and the maintenance charge of about 8% paid once outside the unit price.

Finishing standard is the largest practical difference: Sapphire Residence apartments are delivered finished, and it is the only finished phase inside City Gate. That means comparing its price per metre against a unit delivered unfinished is an unfair comparison unless the cost of finishing is added to the second.

How do you compare price per metre across Qatari Diar units?

The implied price per metre at Sapphire Residence runs between about EGP 111,000 and 116,000 across the four offered units, a consistent band. Administrative units at Level Business District sit at roughly EGP 164,000 to 168,000 per metre, above residential in the same project.

The gap between the two uses is normal and well understood in the market: an administrative unit is bought for an operating or rental return rather than to live in, and its price per metre reflects that. Using one as a benchmark for the other therefore does not work.

A third element belongs in the comparison: the handover date. A unit delivering in 2030 and a resale unit delivering in 2026 are not equal in present value even at the same price per metre, because the years of waiting are part of the price.
