6th October

6th October is the largest new city in west Cairo, founded in 1979 and still expanding today. The city spans over 400 km² and hosts a massive industrial zone (one of the largest in the Middle East), major universities (October University, MSA, MIU, NUB), shopping malls (Mall of Arabia, Dandy Mall, Mariegold), and hospitals (Dar Al Fouad, Cleopatra 6th October, 57357 second branch). On the residential front, October offers tremendous variety - from premium projects (Plaza, Dreamland 2, The Crown, Cairo Gate by Emaar) to mid-market projects (Wadi Degla, Westown, Hyde Park 6th October). What makes 6th October a standout choice is the price - you can find units starting from EGP 1.5M (110 sqm apartment) to villas exceeding EGP 30M. Per-square-meter prices range between EGP 18,000 and 60,000 depending on the compound and location. The location next to the Regional Ring Road and the Wahat Road makes travel to the North Coast, Fayoum, and even Aswan faster, and its proximity to the industrial zone makes it ideal for factory and business owners.

The city stretches across 11,000 feddans, strategically positioned between New Cairo and the New Administrative Capital, minutes away from the Regional Ring Road and the Middle Ring Road.

Its flagship projects include Bloomfields by Tatweer Misr, Mountain View Mostakbal, Sarai by Madinet Masr, and L'Avenir by Cred.
