Projects by Emaar:
Uptown Cairo
Stylish living in the heart of Cairo
Standing tall at the highest point of Downtown Cairo, this four million square metre development by Emaar Misr will bring new meaning to living, working, relaxing and reveling in the city. Uptown Cairo will reflect the hallmark luxury and style that Emaar’s world-class developments are known for. Stretching over the Mukattam suburb, it will attract the capital’s trendsetters with its vibrant town centre, private clubs, hotels, Golf course, restaurants, cafes and much more.
Uptown Cairo’s eleven villages, ranging from low-rise on the hillside to medium-rise (three to 22 storeys) further down the slope, will offer panoramic views of the city, making it an address most looked up to. While bordering loop roads will define each neighbourhood, internal roads and pedestrian walkways will provide easy access to schools, swimming pools, healthcare facilities, offices, retail centres and places of worship. Inviting the upwardly mobile to a lifestyle that is complete in every aspect, in one central location.

Marassi
Celebrate the spirit of Mediterranean living
As a definitive resort destination created on a never before scale, Marassi is a Mediterranean-styled development close to Alexandria and a few miles away from the historic city of El Alamein along the Sidi Abdul Rahman Gulf. An architectural ode to the rich and diverse Mediterranean way of living, Marassi is destined to be a haven of untold bliss and comforts sprawling 1,544 acres of pristine waterfront. Harbouring a community that comprises six districts, each with an ambience and style of its own. At the heart of it the Kavala Centre, that spans more than 900,000 square metres, will envelop a circular marina - the primary sea-gate to the resort. The development will have retail, hospitality and entertainment components guaranteed to lure visitors.
Amphitheatres, resort villas, spas and souqs will add a new dimension to relaxation while an 18-hole golf course will enhance the lure of golf living. A network of lagoons line townhouses and luxury resorts with up to 3,000 guest rooms, while a bustling community centre fosters a thriving sense of community living.
Cairo Gate
Enter a shopper’s paradise and never leave
Cairo Gate opens the doors to a distinguished address shared by stylish neighbours – the world’s finest luxury brands – at Cairo’s most upscale retail address. A mixed-use development that covers over 160 acres of prime real estate, Cairo Gate will not just cater to discerning shoppers from the world over, but also those who appreciate a trendy lifestyle that has come of age. While a mega shopping mall will be centrifugal to its appeal, it will be complemented by an office park with world-class facilities apart from a luxury hotel and residences ranging from townhouses to villas and apartments.
Located at the beginning of Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road, it will include all the amenities of an upscale destination while providing for day-to-day needs – from schools and places of worship to medical facilities.

New Cairo City
Relive the glory of Cairo in modern times
Yet another landmark initiative by Emaar Misr is an upscale residential community, near the new campus of the American University in Cairo. Nestled within the fifth district of New Cairo City, this new development of around 5,000 luxury homes unfolds on nearly 3.8 million square metres of gently rolling landscape.
It will be a self-contained location of several unique neighbourhoods containing every imaginable choice of lifestyle, from villas and townhomes to high-rise apartments. The project fulfils Emaar’s vision to create sustainable development by also providing community centres, hotels, office space and recreation opportunities.
Come, live the dream of the perfect blend of work and play in one of the most exclusive residential environments.
