Katameya Residence by Al Ahly Sabbour Developments is a high-end residential compound in New Cairo, sitting directly on the Ring Road beside the Police Academy and the JW Marriott Hotel.
The project spans 320,000 square metres (about 76 feddan) and houses 361 residential units across apartments, duplexes, penthouses, townhouses, twin houses and standalone villas.
Key 2026 update: Katameya Residence was fully delivered in 2008, and primary units from the developer are no longer available. The compound today trades exclusively on the resale market, not as a fresh launch from Al Ahly Sabbour with multi-year instalments.
Asking prices on the live resale market in May 2026 start near 22,500,000 EGP for the smallest available townhouse and reach 128,287,840 EGP for the largest standalone villa exceeding 1,000 square metres.
The natural buyer for Katameya Residence New Cairo is someone hunting for a ready-to-move unit inside a long-established community with mature services, not someone shopping a long developer payment plan. CompoundGate maintains a live inventory feed of available resale units.
This article is refreshed in May 2026 against actual secondary-market data from Property Finder, Bayut and Nawy, after confirming that legacy prices still circulating online (such as 8,000,000 EGP) reflect outdated launch brochures and no longer apply.
Katameya Residence sits on the eastern Ring Road of Cairo, directly next to the Police Academy and minutes from the heart of Fifth Settlement. Approximate coordinates: 30.0618 N, 31.4252 E.
The strategic location places the project at the seam between New Cairo and Greater Cairo, with direct access to regional roads and easy reach to most city nodes.

The architectural language of Katameya Residence leans contemporary, with restrained massing, light stone facades and low building density that defers to the wide green corridors.
Green spaces and tree-lined pedestrian routes occupy a substantial share of the 320,000-square-metre site. The masterplan was developed under Sabbour Consulting as engineering consultant, and Al Ahly Sabbour delivered the full project in 2008.
The masterplan pushes standalone villas to the outer ring of the project to capture golf-corridor and tree-line views, while apartments and duplexes occupy low-rise clusters within the green core.
Katameya Residence offers an unusually wide product mix inside a single project, which is exactly why the compound remains in steady demand on the resale market despite its age.
Apartments start at 150 square metres and can exceed 250 square metres. Duplexes and penthouses fall between 250 and 350 square metres.
Townhouses and twin houses begin at 240 square metres. Standalone villas surpass 450 square metres and stretch on some plots to over 1,000 square metres of land with built-up areas above 590 square metres.
Every unit in Katameya Residence has been delivered for years and was finished by its original owner, with wide variation in upgrade level because the market here is secondary trading, not fresh developer hand-overs.
Katameya Residence prices in May 2026 reflect location value and tight inventory, not a primary-developer launch price.
Townhouses in Katameya Residence are currently available from 22,500,000 EGP up to 33,000,000 EGP, for footprints of 240 to 409 square metres.
Standalone villas hold the top of the range, starting at 41,500,000 EGP for a 378-square-metre villa and reaching 128,287,840 EGP for a 1,050-square-metre luxury villa.
Average price per square metre in Katameya Residence ranges between 63,636 EGP and 171,050 EGP per square metre, depending on unit type, position within the compound and finishing level.
Legacy prices still circulating on some websites (such as 5,000,000 EGP or 8,000,000 EGP) are no longer valid and reflect old listings from 2022 and earlier.
Katameya Residence has been fully handed over by Al Ahly Sabbour since 2008, so no current developer instalment plan exists for new units. Any acquisition today is a direct transaction with the existing owner.
The typical resale-market structure: full cash payment, or partial cash combined with a bank mortgage covering up to 70% of unit value over a 10 to 15-year term through accredited Egyptian residential lenders.
Some owners accept short personal instalment terms (one to two years) when selling, with conditions negotiated directly inside the sale contract. Each resale transaction here is bespoke, with no standardised developer template behind it.
Annual rental returns in Katameya Residence run high thanks to the compound's proximity to JW Marriott, the airport and Cairo Festival City, making it a magnet for executive tenants and expatriate families.
Average rent on a furnished 200-square-metre apartment within the Katameya compound cluster reached 50,000 EGP per month according to live rental listings as of May 2026.
Annual rental yield on Katameya Residence units lands roughly between 5% and 7% per year, among the strongest in the area thanks to the compound's prime location and the scarcity of alternative supply within 3 minutes of the airport.
Katameya Residence is a fully integrated community whose services have been in operation for over 15 years, not a project relying on future delivery promises.
The single biggest differentiator versus newer Fifth Settlement projects is the compound's exceptional location right next to Cairo International Airport, which makes it a first-choice address for frequent travellers.
The product diversity inside one project — from compact 150-square-metre apartments to oversized villas above 1,000 square metres — is rare across New Cairo compounds and supports a natural social mix and a more vibrant resident community.
The compound sits within the wider Katameya cluster of premium projects, alongside Katameya Heights and Katameya Dunes and several golf-front addresses, which lifts the surrounding neighbourhood quality and protects long-term asset value.
The first drawback is tight resale inventory: only a limited number of units come to market each year compared with newer compounds. The fix: register early with the CompoundGate alerts list so you are notified the moment a serious owner releases a unit matching your spec.
The second drawback is that base infrastructure dates back to 2008, and most apartments need an interior refresh. The fix: budget an additional 5% to 10% on top of purchase price for renovation, and benefit from a lower acquisition price ahead of the upgrade.
