Saada New Cairo Compound is an exclusive villa-only community with no apartment buildings, spanning 370 acres with a building footprint of no more than 11%. At its heart lies a 15,000 sqm Crystal Lagoon, directly on Suez Road, north of Al Rehab City.
Saada Compound was developed by Horizon Egypt Developments in its first venture into the Egyptian real estate market, through a partnership between His Excellency Sheikh Dr. Majid Bin Saeed Al Nuaimi and Adnan Saffarini Engineering Consultants.
Unit prices start from EGP 35,000,000 with a down payment of only 5% and installment plans of up to 7 years. The first phase will be delivered within one year, offering one of the lowest down payments and fastest delivery schedules among comparable developments in New Cairo.
Horizon chose the project’s name after conducting a behavioral study before even beginning the architectural design. The company started from the idea that the quality of one’s home has a direct impact on the residents’ psychological well-being, and built the planning concept around this philosophy.
This concept was translated into tangible master plan decisions, from minimizing the building footprint to the lowest possible percentage, to separating residential zones with landscaped green buffers, while ensuring that the majority of homes enjoy either water or landscape views.
Detailed Overview of Saada New Cairo Compound
Saada Compound marks Horizon’s first project in the Egyptian real estate market and represents the largest Emirati investment in East Cairo, with total investments exceeding EGP 50 billion. This substantial investment explains the project’s extensive range of amenities compared to developments of a similar scale.
The architectural design was entrusted to Adnan Saffarini Engineering Consultants, one of the UAE’s leading engineering firms, while construction is being executed by Abdullah Al Musallam Group and Abnaa Abu Araida Group, combining Gulf architectural expertise with contractors experienced in delivering major developments.
The exterior architecture blends contemporary European design with refined Gulf influences, featuring clean horizontal lines, neutral color palettes, and expansive panoramic windows that open every home to the surrounding landscape while enhancing the sense of interior space.
Horizon divided the development into 10 independent residential districts, each functioning as a self-contained neighborhood with its own entrances and nearby services. This layout minimizes internal traffic while maximizing privacy between villa clusters.
Most of the land has been dedicated to open spaces, with 305,000 sqm allocated to family parks and landscaped areas. At the center lies a swimmable Crystal Lagoon covering 15,000 sqm with sandy beaches, complemented by smaller artificial lakes distributed throughout the community.
The compound operates under a Double Gated Community system with 5 main gates, requiring visitors to pass through an external entrance before accessing the individual residential district, creating two layers of security instead of one.
The development is dedicated exclusively to villas in three categories: Standalone Villas, Twin Houses, and Townhouses. There are no apartment buildings within the project, preserving its low-density character while giving every home its own private garden and private parking space.
The project is being developed in two phases. The first phase will be delivered within one year of contracting, while the second phase offers larger unit sizes and greater variety, with delivery scheduled within two years, allowing buyers to choose between faster delivery or a wider selection of units.

Saada New Cairo Compound Location
The project is located on Suez Road, next to the General Traffic Department and north of Al Rehab City. It features a northern frontage on the New Suez Road and a southern frontage on the Old Suez Road, a rare location that provides the compound with two entrances from two different main roads.
This strategic location derives its importance from serving as the meeting point between eastern New Cairo, Heliopolis, and Nasr City on one side, and the routes leading to the New Administrative Capital and Mostakbal City on the other. Residents can easily reach Downtown Cairo or the New Capital without passing through the internal traffic congestion of the Fifth Settlement.
The project’s immediate surroundings include Family Park directly opposite the compound, several hotels led by Tolip and Oro Plaza, in addition to established residential compounds that are already fully inhabited. This means residents benefit from mature infrastructure rather than an area still awaiting development.
Unlike the traditional heart of the Fifth Settlement around 90th Street, this location combines the tranquility of northern New Cairo with immediate access to major highways. Residents enjoy a quieter environment without sacrificing easy access to schools, universities, and major shopping destinations.
The area also benefits from both the Old and New Suez Roads, allowing residents to choose the most convenient route depending on their destination. The New Suez Road provides direct access to the New Administrative Capital and eastern cities, while the Old Suez Road connects to Heliopolis, Nasr City, and Downtown Cairo.

Unit Types, Sizes, and Prices at Saada New Cairo
The project is divided into two phases that differ in both unit sizes and delivery dates. The first phase focuses on larger Standalone Villas and spacious Twin Houses, while the second phase introduces Townhouses with smaller sizes and more affordable prices.

Calculating the price per square meter reveals a logical pricing structure across the available inventory. It starts from EGP 110,900/sqm for the 505 sqm Twin House and reaches approximately EGP 120,000/sqm for the largest 717 sqm Standalone Villa.
The Corner Townhouse records the highest price per square meter at EGP 200,000/sqm, as it is the smallest unit while offering premium dual-frontage exposure, which explains why its total price exceeds that of the Middle Townhouse despite its smaller built-up area.

Features & Amenities at Saada New Cairo Compound
Horizon has gone beyond the standard residential amenities by introducing facilities that are rarely found in residential compounds. Below are the project’s most distinctive lifestyle features.
Crystal Lagoon & Private Beaches
At the heart of the project lies a 15,000 sqm Crystal Lagoon with clear, swimmable water, surrounded by sandy beaches equipped with sunshades and seating areas, in addition to two private beaches dedicated to water activities.
Smaller artificial lakes are distributed throughout the residential zones surrounding the main lagoon, allowing the majority of villas to enjoy direct water views rather than limiting this privilege to a single row of homes.
2 km Commercial Strip on Suez Road
Stretching across the project’s northern frontage is a 2 km commercial strip consisting of a ground floor plus 5 upper floors, featuring retail stores, administrative offices, medical clinics, and hotel apartments, creating a complete service destination just minutes from every villa.
This commercial strip also separates the residential community from Suez Road, serving as both an acoustic and visual buffer that protects the villas from highway noise while fulfilling its commercial role.
Internal Transportation Network
The developer has introduced an internal transportation network connecting all ten residential districts with one another and with the project’s main facilities. This is a rare feature in New Cairo developments and is particularly practical given the project’s vast area of more than 1.5 million sqm.
The network operates along internal roads designed with dedicated pedestrian walkways and cycling lanes, complemented by smart lighting throughout the main routes, significantly reducing the need to use cars within the compound.
Wellness Center & Two Hotels
The project features a comprehensive wellness center that includes a spa, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam rooms, fully equipped gyms with the latest fitness equipment, and a fully integrated medical center operating 24/7.
Horizon has also added two five-star hotels with a combined capacity of 200 rooms, enhancing both the hospitality value of the development and providing convenient accommodation for residents’ guests.

Advantages of Living in Saada Compound
The residential advantages begin with the master plan itself. With a building footprint of no more than 11% across 370 acres, the project offers one of the lowest residential densities in New Cairo, providing genuine separation between villas.
The compound is also completely free of apartment buildings, meaning there are no stacked residences or shared entrances. Every homeowner enjoys complete privacy, a private garden, and a dedicated garage without exception.
The division of the development into 10 independent residential districts further reduces internal traffic, as only residents use each neighborhood while visitors and service vehicles move through the project’s main roads.
On a day-to-day basis, having an international school, a medical center, a hypermarket, and a commercial strip within the compound minimizes the need for external trips, leaving residents to travel mainly for work or leisure rather than everyday necessities.
Investment Advantages of Saada Compound
The project offers several compelling investment advantages, beginning with the limited supply. Villa-only communities of this scale along Suez Road are extremely rare, helping maintain strong demand in the resale market.
The second advantage is the fast delivery schedule. Buyers can reserve a unit with just a 5% down payment and receive a Phase One property within one year, allowing it to become a rental income-generating asset before half of the installment plan has even been paid.
The third factor is the rental return. Average rental yields in New Cairo range between 5% and 8% annually, with integrated communities typically achieving higher returns, while the low down payment reduces the amount of capital tied up during the early years.
The fourth advantage is the project’s strategic location along the main corridor connecting Greater Cairo with the New Administrative Capital. As national development projects progress and government entities and businesses continue relocating, demand across the surrounding area is expected to expand further.
From an investment perspective, each property type serves a different objective. Townhouses typically offer the fastest turnover and the highest rental yield relative to their price, while standalone villas are better suited for long-term capital appreciation.

Horizon Egypt Developments is an Egyptian joint-stock company backed by Emirati capital. It is chaired by H.H. Sheikh Dr. Majid Bin Saeed Al Nuaimi, Head of the Emiri Diwan of the Emirate of Ajman.
The company was established as the result of an Emirati-Egyptian partnership between Al Nuaimi and Sheikh Abdullah and Sheikh Adnan Safarini, owners of Adnan Safarini Engineering Consultants, one of the Gulf region’s largest engineering consultancy firms with an extensive portfolio across the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Horizon entered the Egyptian real estate market with an investment portfolio exceeding EGP 50 billion, making it the largest Emirati investment in East Cairo. The company rapidly expanded its portfolio to include residential, commercial, and coastal developments.
From the outset, the company adopted an integrated development model that combines design and execution under one umbrella. Adnan Safarini Engineering Consultants oversees the engineering consultancy, while experienced contracting groups with proven records in major developments handle construction, a strategy reflected in the rapid execution of the first phase of Saada Compound.
Within just a few years, the company’s portfolio expanded from a single residential development to five projects spanning residential, commercial, and coastal sectors, creating a diversified investment portfolio and strengthening the brand’s presence across multiple real estate markets in Egypt.
