Qatari Diar in New Cairo

Why does City Gate sit between New Cairo and the New Capital?

City Gate stands roughly 30 kilometres south-east of Cairo, midway between the Fifth Settlement and the New Administrative Capital. That placement serves buyers working in the New Capital who still want to sit inside New Cairo's service catchment.

That position explains why City Gate prices do not compare directly with compounds in the heart of the Fifth Settlement: the product differs in distance, surrounding services and how mature the area is.

Which phases are offered inside City Gate?

Three phases carry developer prices inside City Gate: Sapphire Residence for finished apartments from EGP 7,760,000, Jade Hills for standalone villas from EGP 66,260,000, and Level Business District for administrative units from EGP 18,130,000, all delivering during 2030, per available listing data in August 2026.

A fourth phase, Sapphire Golf Residences, is announced on the master plan but carries no published price and no listed units as at the date of this page.

What separates buying from the developer and buying resale?

Three things separate developer units from resale units at City Gate: handover date, payment plan and breadth of choice. Developer units deliver in 2030 on a published plan with 5% down, while resale units deliver between 2025 and 2029 on terms the buyer agrees with the current owner.

The second difference is available size. The compound's resale market holds apartments up to 337 sqm, villas up to 425 sqm, townhouses and twin houses, while the developer currently offers only apartments up to 173 sqm and villas from 356 sqm upward. The middle typologies, townhouses and twin houses, are not available from the developer today and can only be bought through resale.

The third is finishing state: developer units at Jade Hills and Level Business District are delivered unfinished and Sapphire Residence finished, while resale units vary between finished, semi-finished and unfinished depending on the owner and the phase.

How do the City Gate phases differ from each other?

The three offered phases at City Gate sell three different products to three different buyers: Sapphire Residence for finished apartments from EGP 7,760,000, Jade Hills for standalone villas from EGP 66,260,000, and Level Business District for administrative units aimed at investors from EGP 18,130,000.

The difference is one of kind, not degree. The cheapest Jade Hills villa is worth roughly eight of the cheapest Sapphire Residence apartments, and the purchase itself differs: a plot and a separate building against a unit inside a block. Level Business District, meanwhile, is bought by an investor seeking an operating return rather than a home.

The payment plans follow suit: ten years at Sapphire Residence, eight at Jade Hills and Level Business District, with the delivery payment absent in the administrative phase alone.

What distinguishes the New Cairo location for a buyer today?

What distinguishes City Gate's position in New Cairo is that it sits on the New Capital axis: 30 kilometres south-east of Cairo, between the Fifth Settlement and the new capital, serving anyone who works in the latter while wanting to stay inside the former's service catchment.

That makes a price comparison with compounds in the heart of the Fifth Settlement an indirect one: the product differs in distance, surrounding services and how mature the area is, and the price reflects that. The project's scale, 8.5 million square metres or about 2,024 feddan, is what allows schools, a medical complex, hotels and business parks to sit inside the same boundary, which the official site describes as a "self-sustained city".
