How to choose a compound on the Desert Road
Start with where you drive every day. The Zayed side, from Cairo Gate to Allegria, is the closest stretch to Cairo; the October side around New Giza faces the Giza plateau; New Sphinx and kilometre 49 are further out, closer to Sphinx Airport.
Check the entrance: a compound "on the road" may have its gate on the road itself or on a service road beside it. Ask which exit you take coming from Cairo and going back.
Check readiness: the October-side compounds in the table sell resale, while the Zayed-side projects such as WESTRICT, KAIA and Pyramids Heights are under construction with plans of 8 to 12 years.
Prices change. The figures here are from Masharf in October 2026, with resale dated 15 October 2026. To ask about a specific compound, call or WhatsApp us on 01270970000, from 9 am to 9 pm.
