Kairo is a serviced hotel-apartment project by The Waterway Developments, located inside the 5A area of El Choueifat at the heart of New Cairo, directly behind the delivered 5A Waterway commercial mall on the same master plan as the rest of the developer's local cluster.
Kairo Compound in New Cairo offers only 95 units on a footprint of 8,397 square metres, spread across a low-rise ground-plus-three-floor building. The human-scale density delivers a higher privacy and service ratio than the taller serviced-apartment towers across other parts of New Cairo.
The architecture blends modern luxury with hospitality, with fully finished delivery, kitchen fittings, air conditioning, and integrated hospitality services covering room service, reception, and a concierge desk operating inside the project around the clock.
The location inside 5A El Choueifat is one of the most sought-after addresses in New Cairo, with easy access to the Mohamed Bin Zayed Axis, the Middle Ring Road, and the Suez Road, plus walking-distance access to the dining and retail outlets of 5A Mall next door.
Kairo targets three buyer segments: the end user looking for a serviced apartment with hotel-grade amenities in New Cairo, the investor pursuing a short-term rental unit with above-market yield, and the multi-residence traveller seeking a flexible address near AUC and Cairo International Airport.
Kairo prices for 2026 start at EGP 16,500,000 per unit, with a refundable reservation deposit of EGP 1,000,000 and a flexible payment plan running up to 5 years. Delivery is scheduled for 2026, with fully finished handover and integrated hotel-grade fittings.
Kairo sits inside 5A El Choueifat in New Cairo, directly behind the delivered 5A Waterway mall. The location grants residents walking-distance access to retail, dining, offices, and clinics inside the mall, which is a rare advantage among serviced-apartment products elsewhere across the Fifth Settlement.
The Kairo Compound location is strategic because El Choueifat has emerged as one of the most desirable addresses inside New Cairo. The cluster hosts premium peers such as One Ninety, Mivida, and Katameya Heights, alongside established sporting and social clubs within a short drive.
Coordinates: 30.0150 N, 31.4565 E. You can view the exact location of Kairo Compound in New Cairo on the interactive map at the foot of this page, to measure the distance from your home or office across the New Cairo cluster.
The architecture of Kairo follows a modern hospitality design school, with a low-density ground-plus-three-floor structure housing only 95 units. Modern facades and a hotel-style reception lobby greet residents at the main entrance, in line with the developer's serviced-apartment design language.
The low density at Kairo is intentional. With only 95 units across four levels, the resident-to-staff ratio stays high, delivering a privacy and service experience closer to a five-star hotel residence than to the larger serviced-apartment towers elsewhere across New Cairo's evolving cluster.
Every unit at Kairo is delivered fully finished, with kitchen fittings, air conditioning, and the structural readiness for hotel-grade furnishing on top. Each unit also receives a dedicated parking space inside the project's internal garage, sized for the resident profile of 5A El Choueifat.
The immediate adjacency to the delivered 5A Waterway commercial mall grants Kairo residents walking access to the retail, dining, offices, and clinics within the mall, building a live-work-play environment inside a single master plan delivered by the same developer team.
Kairo offers four categories of serviced apartments across the G+3 building, totaling 95 units. The unit mix serves single professionals, young couples, small families, and penthouse buyers looking for a turnkey hotel-style residence inside 5A El Choueifat in New Cairo.
Studios at Kairo start at 55 square metres and suit singles, business travellers, and frequent commuters. One-bedroom apartments range between 75 and 110 sqm, two-bedroom layouts span 110 to 155 sqm, and three-bedrooms cover 150 to 180 sqm depending on floor placement and view.
Penthouses at Kairo Compound reach up to 220 square metres on the top floor, with the possibility of a rooftop extension for selected units. Every tier across the project arrives fully finished, with integrated hospitality fittings, ready for 2026 handover to owner or operator.
Kairo prices for 2026 start at EGP 16,500,000 for a 55 sqm studio, putting the average per-square-metre price near EGP 300,000 across the project, per the latest live price guides from authorised marketers of The Waterway Developments operating across New Cairo this quarter.
One-bedroom apartments at Kairo start around EGP 22,500,000, with two-bedroom layouts beginning near EGP 33,000,000, depending on floor area, floor position, and the orientation of windows looking onto either the inner plaza or the outward-facing landscape side of the building.
Three-bedroom apartments at Kairo Compound start around EGP 45,000,000 and rise to roughly EGP 60,000,000 for a 220 sqm penthouse on the top floor of the building. The penthouse tier approaches the boutique-luxury bracket in 5A's current pricing landscape.
Kairo Compound prices respond to three drivers: floor area, floor level, and view orientation across the inner plaza or the outer landscape. For the live, tiered price list segmented by unit category and view, contact the CompoundGate team for a same-day response.
Kairo Compound offers a flexible payment plan: a refundable reservation deposit of EGP 1,000,000 with the balance instalmented across up to 5 years interest-free, and a delivery target of 2026. The unit handover includes full finishing and integrated hotel-grade fittings on completion.
On a unit priced at EGP 16,500,000 with the standard plan, the buyer pays the EGP 1,000,000 reservation deposit at contract. The remaining EGP 15,500,000 is then split across 20 quarterly instalments over the 5-year window, roughly EGP 775,000 every three months until handover.
Quarterly instalments at Kairo run alongside construction milestones, with the developer announcing handover for 2026. Early-bird buyers signing during the launch window may also secure additional discounts negotiated through the authorised marketers of The Waterway Developments.
Investment in Kairo rests on four drivers. First, the serviced apartment product is a supply-constrained category in New Cairo against rising demand from Gulf buyers and Egyptian expatriates returning home, drawn by the hotel-grade service profile of the hospitality-led product.
Second, short-term rental yield in New Cairo runs between 1.5x and 2x conventional residential yield. Units at Kairo plug easily into Airbnb and Booking.com inventory after their fully finished handover, with minimal owner involvement and a turnkey letting profile from day one.
Third, the 5A El Choueifat location plus the immediate adjacency to the delivered 5A Waterway mall delivers walking-distance access to retail, dining, offices, and clinics. The product borrows the live-above-the-mall format successful in Dubai and Riyadh and rare in New Cairo to date.
Fourth, the EGP 1,000,000 reservation deposit and 5-year interest-free instalments open the serviced-apartment 5A premium segment to buyers with limited liquid capital. Comparable serviced products elsewhere in New Cairo typically require higher initial down payments and shorter horizons.
Compared with sister The Waterway Developments projects such as W Signature and The Hub mall, Kairo stands out as the most compact serviced-apartment proposition inside the El Choueifat cluster delivered by the same developer team.
Kairo Compound delivers an integrated hospitality service stack that converts each unit into a plug-and-play residence. The owner walks in with a suitcase and starts living or lists the unit on short-term rental inventory, without needing any further fit-out work after handover from the developer.
These services make Kairo suitable for both end users and investors. Residents gain the convenience of a hotel-grade lifestyle inside their own home, while investors gain a turnkey unit ready for short-term rental inventory tied to AUC, the airport, and the wider New Cairo business cluster.
The headline features of Kairo Compound combine its 5A El Choueifat location, the low-density 95-unit footprint, and the fully finished delivery with integrated hospitality fittings, all underwritten by The Waterway Developments operating record across New Cairo over the last decade and a half:
First drawback: the unit sizes at Kairo are relatively small compared with conventional Fifth Settlement apartments. A 55 sqm studio and the largest three-bedroom at 180 sqm may not suit larger families seeking expansive living areas across the New Cairo cluster.
Mitigation: the serviced-apartment product is by design targeted at singles, couples, small families, second-home buyers, and short-term rental investors. Larger family buyers can consider W Signature by the same developer for more generous floor plates inside the New Cairo cluster.
Second drawback: the full payment plan has not been published in every public listing yet — the announced terms are the EGP 1,000,000 reservation deposit and instalments up to 5 years, without a publicly stated quarterly split percentage on some marketing platforms.
Mitigation: contact the CompoundGate team or the authorised marketers of The Waterway Developments directly for a detailed payment plan tailored to the chosen unit. Waterway is known for flexibility in tailoring instalment schedules per buyer profile and unit size.
The Waterway Developments was founded in 2010, with a portfolio concentrated on premium projects across New Cairo, the North Coast, and the New Administrative Capital. The firm ranks among the experienced developers building full master-planned destinations across Egypt's modern real estate landscape.
Headline The Waterway Developments projects include The Waterway New Cairo, W Signature, The Hub mall, the delivered 5A Waterway commercial mall (handed over Q3 2023), and The Waterway Villas. This contiguous cluster sits across the El Choueifat zone, building an integrated mixed-use footprint in New Cairo.
The portfolio also includes The View Waterway, The Capitalway in the New Administrative Capital, and The Waterway North Coast resort. This breadth signals an experienced operator with relevant precedent across residential, commercial, hospitality, and resort product lines across Egypt.
The Waterway Developments track record is particularly strong inside El Choueifat, where the firm has built an integrated cluster of intertwined residential and commercial projects. The delivered 5A Mall next to Kairo is field evidence of on-schedule delivery from this developer.

Kairo Compound sits inside 5A El Choueifat at the heart of New Cairo, directly behind the delivered 5A Waterway mixed-use mall, with entry from the Mohamed Bin Zayed Axis and easy access to the Middle Ring Road and the Suez Road.
Coordinates are 30.0150 N, 31.4565 E, with a 3-minute drive to One Ninety, 20 minutes to Cairo International Airport, and 25 minutes to the New Administrative Capital via the Middle Ring Road.
Kairo Compound is developed by The Waterway Developments, founded in 2010 and specialised in premium projects across New Cairo, the North Coast, and the New Administrative Capital, with a portfolio that already includes delivered residential and commercial assets.
Headline previous projects include The Waterway New Cairo, W Signature, The Hub mall, and the delivered 5A Waterway mall (handed over in 2023), which sits directly adjacent to Kairo Compound inside the El Choueifat master plan.
Kairo Compound hosts 95 units only on an 8,397 sqm plot, across four categories: studios from 55 sqm, one-bedrooms from 75 to 110 sqm, two-bedrooms from 110 to 155 sqm, and three-bedrooms from 150 to 180 sqm.
Penthouses at Kairo reach up to 220 sqm on the top floor of the building. Every category arrives fully finished with integrated hospitality fittings, ready for 2026 handover to owner occupation or short-term rental inventory.
Kairo Compound prices for 2026 start at EGP 16,500,000 per unit, with a refundable reservation deposit of EGP 1,000,000 and the balance instalmented interest-free across up to 5 years from the contract date.
On a unit priced at EGP 16,500,000, the buyer pays the EGP 1,000,000 reservation deposit at contract. The remaining EGP 15,500,000 is then split across 20 quarterly instalments, roughly EGP 775,000 every three months until handover.
Kairo Compound is scheduled for delivery in 2026, with fully finished handover including kitchen fittings and air conditioning, per the schedule announced by The Waterway Developments through its authorised marketers.
The delivery commitment is backed by the developer track record on the ground — the adjacent 5A Waterway mall was already handed over in 2023, providing direct field evidence of The Waterway Developments meeting its announced delivery windows.
Kairo Compound delivers an integrated hospitality service stack including room service from the adjacent 5A Mall, optional housekeeping, a 24-hour reception in the lobby, a concierge desk, plus around-the-clock maintenance covering every unit on the project.
Facilities also feature a state-of-the-art gym, a full-service spa, a swimming pool, a social and sports club, an on-site nursery, 24/7 security with CCTV coverage, and an internal parking garage with dedicated spaces allocated to every unit on site.
Yes, Kairo Compound was designed from the outset for the short-term rental market. Each unit is delivered fully finished and backed by integrated room service and a 24-hour reception, ready for Airbnb and Booking.com inventory once the owner installs the furnishing pack.
Short-term rental yield across New Cairo runs roughly 1.5x to 2x conventional residential rental, particularly given the Kairo location behind 5A Mall inside 5A El Choueifat and the proximity to AUC and Cairo International Airport on the eastern side of the city.
