O West Orascom Compound is the fully integrated town that Orascom Development Egypt chose as its first residential project in West Cairo.
It sits directly on Wahat Road in the heart of 6th of October City, just 3 minutes from Mall of Egypt, and was developed in partnership with the New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA).
The master plan was designed by global architecture firm HOK, while EDSA handled the landscaping.
Prices currently start from EGP 7,337,000 on installments, with a down payment of only 5% and payment plans stretching up to 9 years.
In July 2026, the project also secured a EGP 18 billion syndicated bank loan to accelerate its ongoing phases, giving new buyers added confidence in construction timelines.
O West October Compound
The Meaning Behind the O West Name
The name has two clear parts, The letter “O” stands for Orascom and appears in the identity of several of the company’s developments.
While “West” refers to West Cairo, the area Orascom picked for its first urban community outside its coastal towns.
Put together, the name sums up the whole concept: a town carrying the Orascom signature and its El Gouna experience.
But placed in the heart of West Cairo, where residents can enjoy a resort lifestyle every day of the year.
O West Compound Project Overview
After more than three decades building complete coastal towns such as El Gouna, Taba Heights and Makadi Heights, Orascom decided to bring the same idea to Cairo.
Rather than launching O West as a typical gated compound, the company planned it as a small city with its own business hub, sports club, schools and hospital.
So residents can live, work and shop without ever leaving the gates, HOK built the master plan around a series of distinct neighborhoods linked by a central services spine.
Each neighborhood has its own character, unit mix and green spaces, while major facilities such as the club and the business district remain within easy reach of everyone.
The internal road network also separates car traffic from pedestrian walkways and cycling lanes, the exterior architecture follows a contemporary style with clean lines and wide glass façades.
That open onto the landscape and water features. Units are split at roughly 60% villas of all types and 40% apartments, duplexes and penthouses.
Which keeps population density low relative to the project’s large footprint, what truly sets O West apart is the land itself.
Which rises 30 to 50 meters above the surrounding area, Orascom used this elevation to orient homes toward open views.
The Club Residences phase sits on a natural hill 22 meters high, and the highest point of the site, at 75 meters, has been reserved for a dining area with panoramic views over the entire town.
The project is being released in up to 11 consecutive phases, including Core: Green Valley, Parkside, O Views, Midyard, Tulwa, Spring Valley, Club Yard and Fera Residences.
There is also the Qemet district, named after the ancient Egyptian word for Egypt, which hosts the Hillside villas in their various models.
And the Whyt phase dedicated to standalone villas, townhouses and twin houses, this variety serves very different buyer profiles.
Phases such as Core, Midyard, Parkside and O Views focus on apartments starting from one-bedroom layouts, while Hillside.
Whyt and Spring Valley are dedicated to standalone villas, twin houses and townhouses, tulwa and Club Yard combine apartments, duplexes, lofts and penthouses.
Overlooking the club and green areas, on the services side, O West includes an integrated business hub called O West Business District.
Which was already delivered in 2025, a sports and social club spanning 35 feddans, an international university and 3 international schools.
As well as an on-site hotel, all of this makes O West feel much closer to a new city than a residential compound.

About Orascom Developments
The Orascom Development began in 1989 with the idea of building a year-round coastal town on the Red Sea, which became El Gouna.
The group later grew into Orascom Development Holding, chaired by:
- Eng. Naguib Sawiris, while Dr. Eskandar Tooma chairs its Egyptian arm, Orascom Development Egypt.
Today, the company operates in 7 countries, including Egypt, Switzerland, Montenegro, Oman, the UAE, Morocco and the United Kingdom.
It holds a land bank exceeding 101 million m² and operates 33 hotels with around 7,200 rooms, along with 7 yacht marinas.
O West is its first project in Cairo’s primary residential market, what sets Orascom apart is that it does not stop at building homes.
It manages the towns it develops after handover, including hotels, utilities and services, the same model that turned El Gouna into a year-round destination.
