City Gate New Cairo is a fully integrated city spanning 8.5 million sqm, centered around an 18-hole championship golf course designed by the internationally renowned (Thomson, Perret & Lobb) in accordance with the standards of the United States Golf Association (USGA).
The project was launched by Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company as its largest development in the Arab world outside Qatar.
The project is being developed in Egypt through Bawabat Al Sharq Real Estate Investment Company, the group’s executive arm, while construction is being carried out by Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), giving the project the backing of some of the biggest names in the industry.
Prices start from EGP 12,990,000 with a down payment of only 5% and installment plans of up to 8 years. Delivery is scheduled to begin in December 2027 with a Semi-Finished finishing standard.
What Does the Name City Gate Mean ?
The name is far more than a marketing choice. The word (Gate) literally means gateway, and the project is strategically positioned along the corridor connecting New Cairo with the New Administrative Capital.
For this reason, the developer officially describes it as the Gateway to the New Administrative Capital.
This concept is reflected in the master plan itself, as the development was designed as a fully integrated city with its own entrances, internal road network, and independent services, rather than being a conventional residential compound that depends on the surrounding area for everyday amenities.
Detailed Overview of City Gate New Cairo
City Gate is part of Qatari Diar’s Egyptian land portfolio, which exceeds 64 million sqm.
The company has already developed approximately 8 million sqm and has announced plans to reach 18 million sqm within the next three years, positioning the project within a long-term expansion strategy.
The project features a contemporary architectural style characterized by expansive glass façades and high ceilings.
The core design philosophy was to eliminate the visual barrier between indoor living spaces and the surrounding open landscape, allowing every home to enjoy views of either the landscaped gardens or the golf course.
The residential neighborhoods are divided into three districts named after precious gemstones.
Sapphire features apartments overlooking beautifully landscaped circular gardens, Opal offers Townhouses and Twin Houses in a variety of sizes, while Garnet represents the project’s most luxurious collection of Standalone Villas, available in two distinct architectural designs.
The developer later introduced the Sapphire Golf Residences and Jade Hills phases as part of the project’s expansion, alongside the Level Business District, which serves as the project’s administrative hub.
This reflects a phased development strategy rather than releasing the entire master plan at once.
The first phase included 430 units, followed by another phase covering the Opal and Garnet districts across 357,125 sqm, comprising a total of 422 units with investments exceeding EGP 1.75 billion, confirming that the project has progressed well beyond the planning stage into active construction.
One of the most distinctive elements of the master plan is the Ring Park, a circular green belt covering approximately 1 million sqm. It forms a natural buffer between the residential districts and the main road network while also providing extensive open spaces for walking, jogging, and cycling.

City Gate New Cairo Location
City Gate is located in the Fifth Settlement of New Cairo, approximately 30 km southeast of Greater Cairo. It sits almost midway between New Cairo and the New Administrative Capital, which is why the developer refers to it as the Gateway to the Capital.
The project’s strategic location is strengthened by its direct access to several major road networks simultaneously, including the Cairo/Suez Road, Ain Sokhna Road, Middle Ring Road, and Mohamed Bin Zayed Axis.
This gives residents multiple convenient routes toward Cairo, the New Administrative Capital, or the Red Sea without relying on a single congested corridor.
The project also benefits from its proximity to 90th Street with its commercial and entertainment destinations, in addition to being surrounded by international universities, medical centers, and major shopping malls across East Cairo.
This strategic positioning minimizes the need for long daily commutes.

Services & Facilities at City Gate New Cairo
City Gate New Cairo offers the following premium services and facilities:
18-Hole Championship Golf Course
The golf course at City Gate is far more than a landscaped green space.
It was designed by Thomson, Perret & Lobb, one of the world’s leading golf course design firms, in accordance with the standards of the United States Golf Association (USGA) and internationally recognized specifications, making it a fully professional golf course rather than simply a scenic view.
The golf course occupies the heart of the master plan, with most units in the Garnet district and Sapphire Golf Residences overlooking it directly.
These premium golf-front views are one of the primary factors behind the significant price difference between interior units and first-row golf-facing homes.
Ring Park Green Belt
The Ring Park extends across approximately 1 million sqm as a circular park surrounding the entire development. It features dedicated walking, jogging, and cycling trails, in addition to picnic areas and open-air recreational spaces.
Beyond its impressive size, the Ring Park plays a crucial planning role by acting as a natural buffer between the residential neighborhoods and the surrounding major roads, reducing both traffic noise and emissions within the residential community.
Business District & Commercial Zone
The project features an administrative business district covering more than 720,000 sqm, known as Level Business District, which includes office spaces and the project’s signature office tower, allowing businesses to operate within the city itself.
Complementing it is a commercial district spanning 300,000 sqm, featuring both an enclosed shopping mall and an open-air retail boulevard with restaurants, cafés, cinemas, and international retail brands.
The concept is to minimize residents’ need to leave the community for work, shopping, or entertainment.
4 International Hotels with 1,000 Rooms
The developer plans to build four hotels within City Gate, offering a total of 1,000 rooms with investments estimated at approximately EGP 20 billion, to be operated in partnership with internationally recognized hospitality brands.
This hospitality component adds another dimension to the project by creating continuous visitor traffic that supports the commercial district while increasing demand for short-term rental units.
Golf Clubhouse & Sports Club
The clubhouse is located adjacent to the Garnet Villas overlooking the golf course and features a swimming pool, gymnasium, health club, grand ballroom, restaurants, and an outdoor BBQ area.
It is complemented by a fully integrated sports club operated in partnership with one of Egypt’s largest sports clubs, offering football, tennis, and basketball courts in addition to spa, sauna, and jacuzzi facilities.
Essential Services at City Gate
| Category | Available Services |
|---|---|
| Security | 24/7 professionally trained security personnel, comprehensive CCTV surveillance, and electronic gates with Smart Sticker access control. |
| Education | Three international schools within the project. |
| Healthcare | A fully integrated medical complex with clinics and 24-hour pharmacies. |
| Sports & Recreation | A comprehensive sports club, swimming pools for adults and children, spa, sauna, jacuzzi, jogging tracks, and cycling lanes. |

| Green Areas | Parks and landscaped open spaces, artificial lakes, BBQ areas, and children’s playgrounds. |
| Parking | Planned parking garages and parking spaces throughout every residential district. |
| Religious & Community Facilities | A large mosque and community centers distributed across the residential neighborhoods. |
Advantages of Living at City Gate New Cairo
The first advantage is that City Gate is a self-sufficient city, featuring three international schools, four hotels, a medical complex, a business district, and a commercial zone within its boundaries, significantly reducing residents’ dependence on external services.
The second advantage is its low building density. Buildings occupy no more than 20% of the project’s total land area, resulting in wider spaces between residential buildings and greater privacy for homeowners.
The third advantage is its multiple transportation routes. City Gate’s location at the intersection of Cairo/Suez Road, Ain Sokhna Road, the Middle Ring Road, and Mohamed Bin Zayed Axis provides residents with several alternative routes, reducing the impact of traffic congestion on any single road.
Additional advantages include the Smart Sticker access system, which prevents unauthorized vehicles from entering the community, as well as the presence of schools within the project itself, allowing children to reach school without traveling through major public roads.

Investment Advantages of City Gate New Cairo
The first investment advantage is the scale of the developer’s financial commitment.
Upon completion, City Gate is expected to exceed a total value of USD 12 billion, reflecting a long-term commitment to continuous investment in infrastructure and amenities rather than simply delivering residential units.
The second advantage is the scarcity of the product.
Golf-front homes overlooking an internationally designed championship golf course are extremely limited in East Cairo, and the difference in price per square meter between these premium units and interior units within the same project exceeds twofold.
The third advantage is the hospitality and commercial component.
With 1,000 hotel rooms, 300,000 sqm of commercial space, and 720,000 sqm of administrative offices, the project is expected to generate continuous demand for short- and medium-term residential rentals from employees and visitors alike, supporting long-term rental yields.
In addition, the payment plan requiring only a 5% down payment significantly reduces the capital needed to begin investing, while the extended installment period provides investors with the opportunity to resell before completing the full payment should market prices increase.
