# Why Has the State Decided to Place Its Strongest Bet on El Obour? > Why the Egyptian state is investing heavily in El Obour and New Obour: roads, industry, housing and what it means for property buyers.

For years, the focus was directed elsewhere—specific axes and certain cities were the primary “showcase.” But the most critical question in **2026** is: **Why has the compass shifted so decisively toward El Obour and New Obour City?** The simple answer: **“Smart Connectivity.”** The State didn’t just build houses there; it created a new **“Center of Gravity”** linking Cairo, the Delta, and the Suez Canal. This isn’t just strong infrastructure; it is a calculated engine designed to drive the next phase of the economy. New areas are emerging now that don’t just compete for residents—they offer a model for a “City that Never Stops.” With world-class roads, the Electric High-Speed Train (LRT), and vital axes, you are at the heart of the action from wherever you stand. The vision was never just about paving a road; it was about **“Creating Opportunity.”** The Fourth-Generation cities in El Obour are a bet the State has already won, successfully merging industry, housing, and commerce in one hub. This is exactly what any savvy investor sees right now. It’s not just a city growing; it’s a **“National Project”** where value is appreciating at unprecedented rates. Those analyzing the scene today know that the State’s interest is no coincidence. When the “State” bets on a location, it means the future is already reserved there. People might still be discovering the details today… but the result? It’s clear that El Obour is no longer just the “Future”—it has become the **“New Reality.”** ****Press coverage**** [Bravo and Ebdaa kick off in the Egyptian market with Ouda Developments — a plan to invest EGP 50 billion — Invest-Gate](https://invest-gate.me/news/bravo-and-ebdaa-to-kick-off-in-the-egyptian-market-with-ouda-developments-a-plan-to-invest-egp-50-billions/) **[Bravo announces its Egyptian expansion with Ebdaa to create Ouda Developments — Aqary News](https://aqarynews.com/13682/)** [Ouda Developments — track record and vision on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/share/1BALi5Ym7H/) 📌 **Read the complete guide:** [New Obour City 2026: The New Fourth-Generation City Beside El Obour — Districts, Prices & Investment](https://ouda-developments.com/en/new-obour-city/) **Ouda official figures** Prices, unit sizes and payment terms as published by Ouda Developments — last updated 26 August 2026. | Project | Price per m² | Unit sizes | Total price | Payment | Delivery | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Canary Compound — District 25](https://ouda-developments.com/en/canary-compound/) | From 27,000 EGP/m² (29,900 at the official launch) | 70 – 355 m² | EGP 2,100,000 – 8,500,000 | 15% down · up to 6 years interest-free | Delivery 3 years from contract | | [Golf City El Obour](https://ouda-developments.com/en/golf-city-al-obour/) | Cash 25,000 – 28,000 · instalment 30,000 – 34,000 EGP/m² | Apartments, duplexes, townhouses 150 – 500 m², standalone villas | — | 50% down · up to 24 months | Immediate delivery | | [Isis Cairo](https://ouda-developments.com/en/isis-cairo/) | 17,000 – 17,500 EGP/m² | 165 – 205 m² | EGP 2,805,000 – 4,125,000 | 50% down · up to 24 months | Immediate delivery | Refundable 50,000 EGP booking deposit · 7.5% maintenance deposit, payable with the instalments or at handover.
