How to choose a compound on the Desert Road
Start with the road you will drive every day. The Zayed side is the closest stretch to Cairo, the October side runs around New Giza opposite the Giza Plateau, and New Sphinx is further out and closer to Sphinx Airport.
Ask about 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.
Ask about handover: Zayed-side projects such as WESTRICT, KAIA and Pyramids Heights are under construction with plans of 8 to 12 years, and ready developer units on the road are few and released from time to time. Prices are from Masharf in October 2026 and they change. To ask about a specific compound, call or WhatsApp us on 01270970000, from 9 am to 9 pm.
