Al Rabwa Compound El Sheikh Zayed

Al Rabwa Compound El Sheikh Zayed: Talaat Moustafa's ready villas around the lakes

Al Rabwa Compound El Sheikh Zayed is a villa compound by Talaat Moustafa Group (TMG) on 505 feddans in Sheikh Zayed. It is finished: every villa recorded with us is past its handover date, from a 330 m² three-bedroom villa to seven-bedroom villas of up to 1,600 m². The developer has no priced units on offer now, so buying in Al Rabwa today means resale from an owner, and the resale prices are in the price table on this page.

Several projects elsewhere share the name Al Rabwa. This page is only about TMG's Al Rabwa in Sheikh Zayed: what it has, how to choose a villa, and what to check before you pay.

Who is Al Rabwa for?

A family that wants a ready villa in Zayed

No wait for handover, and neighbours already living there.

A buyer who wants space

Villas from 281 m² up to 1,600 m², with lakes and a golf area in the compound.

Someone who wants to inspect before paying

The villa, garden and street are there to see.

Not for an apartment buyer

Only villas are recorded with us here.

Where is Al Rabwa?

According to the project's details, about 800 metres from the Cairo to Alexandria desert road, about 11 minutes from Zed Park and 15 from Lebanon Square, and close to Galleria 40, Nile University, Arkan Plaza and Zayed Central Park. Its nearest neighbours in our catalogue are The Flow about 700 metres away, Rewaya 800 metres, and Etapa and Ivoire West a kilometre away. Some people search "Al Rabwa October" because Zayed and October are neighbours, but the compound is in Sheikh Zayed. See it under location, or the Sheikh Zayed page.

Villas in Al Rabwa

• Villa, 3 bedrooms, 330 m²: fully finished.
• Villa, 4 bedrooms, 281 to 420 m²: finishing differs by villa.
• Villa, 5 bedrooms, 300 to 1,000 m²: finishing differs.
• Villa, 6 bedrooms, 900 m²: fully finished.
• Villa, 7 bedrooms, 450 to 1,600 m²: finishing differs.

The sizes vary hugely: the same number of bedrooms can mean 300 m² or 1,000 m², so the difference is the size of the house and plot, not only the rooms. According to the project's details, the compound has about 970 villas. If someone offers you an apartment in Al Rabwa, none is recorded with us, so ask exactly which project they mean.

Villas for sale in Al Rabwa El Sheikh Zayed

Any villa for sale here today comes from an owner. The three and six-bedroom villas are recorded as fully finished; for the others, ask about each villa, because finishing a large one can cost a great deal.

Choosing the size

A three or four-bedroom villa of 281 to 420 m² suits a typical family that wants a house with a garden. Five bedrooms and up suit a large or extended family. Do not buy bigger than you need: every extra metre means more maintenance, bills and garden each month.

Prices and payment

The developer has no priced villas on offer, so no developer price or plan is recorded with us. The prices owners are asking are in the resale price table on this page, updated monthly. On resale, the owner may still owe instalments to TMG, so ask for a statement from the developer and agree in writing who pays the rest.

Price per metre against new villas nearby

Divide the owner's price by the villa's area, then compare. Using the cheapest villa's price per metre: The Hillage about 201,500, handover 2030; Ivoire West about 148,900, handover 2028. For twin houses: Rewaya about 117,600 and Etapa about 95,400. A new villa comes with a long plan; Al Rabwa gives you a ready villa in a lived-in compound. Add the rent you would pay while waiting before you compare.

The club, lakes and services

According to the project's details, the clubhouse is inside the compound, with pools for adults and children, a gym, a billiards room, a golf area, lakes at the centre of the compound, and landscaping with water features. Services include maintenance, security with cameras, cleaning, fire protection and gardening. The compound sits about 140 metres above sea level, and many villas look onto the lakes. See the amenities section for what is recorded.

Al Rabwa El Sheikh Zayed master plan

The master plan and photos are at the top of this page. Since the compound is finished, the best plan is a visit: see the villa you are considering, its street, and how far it is from the lakes and the club, once by day and once in the evening.

Negotiating with the owner

Resale has no price list. Find out what similar villas in Al Rabwa have been offered at recently, and ask how long the owner has been selling. The view matters: a villa on a lake or the golf area usually costs more than one inside. Judge the finishing yourself, and if work is needed, cost it and take it off the price as you talk.

The running costs of a villa

A large villa costs money after purchase: the compound's annual maintenance, the garden, air conditioning, electricity and a pool if there is one. A 900 or 1,000 m² villa costs far more each month than a 330 m² one. Ask the management for the exact service charge, and ask a neighbour what they spend.

Buying a resale villa safely

• Contract: see the original contract with TMG and the owner's proof of ownership.
• Transfer: ask about the transfer fee before agreeing a price.
• Maintenance: confirm fees are paid up to date.
• Inspection: check the roof, insulation, plumbing, electrics and garden, with an engineer for a large villa.

For investment

A ready villa can be let from the first month. Villas in Sheikh Zayed let to families and companies on long contracts, though a very large villa takes longer to find a tenant. Work out the return with real rents for similar villas nearby, minus maintenance and empty months.
