Last updated: 13 September 2026
District 25 is one of the newest districts in New Obour City and among the closest to the main axes. It is the compounds district of the city’s luxury-housing belt: Districts 25 and 24 are the two luxury-housing districts of New Obour, with District 25 the more distinguished of the two as the private-compounds district, and its neighbour District 24 the Beit El Watan district (plots allocated to Egyptians abroad for individual building). This page covers its location, what surrounds it, price per metre, and the projects inside it.
Where exactly is District 25?
District 25 sits in New Obour City with a direct frontage on the Middle Ring Road and close access to the R2 axis — the two reasons movement in and out is fast in every direction.
Axes and roads
- Middle Ring Road — direct frontage, connecting East Cairo together.
- R2 axis — a main axis serving New Obour City.
- LRT electric train — already operating with an Obour station; 103 km and 19 stations linking Adly Mansour to the New Administrative Capital.
Why District 25 specifically?
New Obour City is a fourth-generation city planned from the ground up — drainage and utility networks designed for the city’s density, with clear separation between residential, administrative and commercial zones. District 25 benefits from all of that, and from being a newer district: lower built ratios and larger open spaces than the older districts.

Why District 25? The reasons in detail, with sources
What sets District 25 apart, grouped under five headings. Official figures are sourced at the end of this section; company estimates are marked as such.
1. Location and roads
- Direct frontage on the Middle Ring Road and close to the R2 axis, so access is from a main road rather than through internal streets.
- The Middle Ring Road is 156 km long, with 4 to 5 lanes in each direction plus a 2 to 3-lane service road, running between the Ring Road and the Regional Ring Road to relieve pressure on the Ring Road.
- It links the new cities: Obour, Shorouk, Mostakbal City, the New Administrative Capital, 6th of October and Sheikh Zayed.
- 20 to 40 minutes to Madinaty, Fifth Settlement, Shorouk, the New Administrative Capital and the airport, depending on destination (company estimate).
- Four arteries serve the city: the Middle Ring Road, the Cairo–Ismailia Desert Road (its southern edge and main entrance), the Cairo–Belbeis Desert Road, and the Regional Ring Road towards the eastern Delta and 10th of Ramadan.
- Obour is on the LRT light-rail line linking the cities east of Cairo, including the New Administrative Capital; trains run daily from 6 am to 11 pm, every 8 minutes at weekday peaks.
2. A city being built around the district
- New Obour is a fourth-generation city established by Presidential Decree 246 of 2016, covering 58,914 feddans.
- 37 numbered districts in the detailed plan, with axes defined from the start and residential areas kept apart from administrative and commercial zones.
- The compounds district of the luxury-housing belt: Districts 25 and 24 are the two luxury-housing districts of New Obour. District 25 is the private-compounds district and the more distinguished of the two, while its neighbour District 24 is the Beit El Watan district, land plots allocated to Egyptians living abroad for individual building.
- Building heights in the area are ground + 4 floors, so there are no towers blocking the skyline or raising density.
- Set to be the most upscale district in New Obour: Ouda expects District 25 to become the most upscale district in New Obour, just as Golf City is among the most upscale areas of Obour. Ouda Developments and Ebdaa Developments, a company within the Ouda group, contribute to developing both.
- The city authority is investing in roads now: 11 road and axis projects worth about EGP 4 billion (March 2026).
3. Close to work and services
- Obour is a major industrial city and home to the Obour Market, the main wholesale fruit and vegetable market for the Greater Cairo governorates.
- The New Administrative Capital and the airport are within 20 to 40 minutes (company estimate).
- The city is surrounded by universities, schools and hospitals, according to the company's project statement.
4. Canary: Ouda's compound inside District 25
- 15 feddans with only 25% built-up area: 26 buildings of ground + 4 floors and no towers; the rest is landscape, water features and services.
- About 50,000 m² of greenery and water features, with a central plaza and a dancing fountain.
- A two-storey clubhouse of about 2,100 m² with pools, gym and spa, alongside a commercial mall, mosque, clinics and co-working spaces.
- Separate jogging, walking and cycling tracks, children's play areas, a barbecue area, a reading garden and a pet area.
- Three smart gates and 24-hour security with CCTV, covered parking, EV charging stations and accessible facilities.
- Full separation of homes and services: shops are not under residents' windows.
- Units from 70 m² studios to 355 m² duplexes, with handover within 3 years of contract.
5. Who builds and manages
- Land officially allocated by the state within the District 25 plan.
- Self-funded with no bank loans, and construction does not depend on buyers' instalments.
- 1,065 units built and handed over in Obour City, across 555,079.65 m²: standing buildings you can visit before you pay.
- In Golf City Obour, a compound of about 500 feddans, Ouda developed and built more than 200 feddans over ten years.
- Ebdaa Developments, one of the group's companies and building in Obour since 2001, is its design and construction arm.
- Bravo, the Saudi ownership partner (Riyadh, founded 1991), will manage and maintain Canary's facilities after handover under service-level contracts with preventive maintenance schedules. It has delivered 19 government contracts worth more than SAR 1.76 billion over the last 5 years and is an approved contractor for Saudi Electricity Company, National Water Company and NEOM.

Where District 25 sits, and why that matters
District 25 is one of the newest districts in New Obour City and among the closest to the main axes: it overlooks the Middle Ring Road directly and sits on the R2 axis, which places it at the intersection of two axes rather than alongside one. It is served by the Light Rail Transit through the Obour station — and the distinction is worth keeping precise: the full network is planned at over 100 km and 19 stations, while the phase in service since 3 July 2022 runs 70 km with 12 stations. Because the district was planned recently, permitted built ratios are lower and open space is greater than in the older districts, and it is the only district in New Obour that hosts compounds by foreign companies selling in US dollars.
What is being built there, in numbers
Ouda Developments' project in District 25 is Canary Compound: 15 feddans with only 26 buildings of ground plus four floors, at a built ratio not exceeding 25 percent — leaving roughly three quarters of the land as open space and amenities, including about 50,000 square metres of greenery and water features and a 2,100 square metre clubhouse over two floors. Units run from 70 to 355 square metres. Pre-launch pricing starts at EGP 27,000 per square metre; the official launch is expected soon from EGP 29,900, against an El Obour compound average of EGP 32,900. Payment is 15 percent down over up to six years with no bank interest, and handover is within three years of the contract date. Figures valid 26 August 2026.
What sets District 25 apart from every other district in New Obour?
District 25 is the premium district of the city, and the differences are not cosmetic — they are building and planning rules that stay with your unit for its entire life:
Lower height = lower density
District 25 is the only district in New Obour where the permitted height is ground + 4 floors — everywhere else in the city it is ground + 5. That extra floor means more residents sharing the same lifts, parking and facilities. A lower cap means more privacy and more open space, and it is a permanent difference nobody can change later.
On two axes, not one
Directly adjacent to the Middle Ring Road, and on the R2 axis — known locally as Street 90 after its counterpart in New Cairo. In Egypt’s new cities, the service axis is what sets the value of everything around it.
Foreign-developer compounds priced in USD
District 25 is the only district in New Obour with compounds by foreign developers selling in US dollars. Those companies underwrite a market differently before committing hard currency, and their arrival lifts the quality and price ceiling across the whole district.
Set to be the most upscale district in New Obour
Ouda expects District 25 to become the most upscale district in New Obour, just as Golf City is among the most upscale areas of Obour. Ouda Developments and Ebdaa Developments, a company within the Ouda group, contribute to developing both.
Where Ouda fits in
Ouda Developments is one of the leading developers in District 25 — Canary Compound is our project there: 15 feddans, 26 buildings, a built ratio of just 25%. The difference is that you are not buying from a developer starting from zero: 1,065 units already delivered in the same city, and you can visit them before you pay anything. See our track record
