Giza's flagship planned satellite city and primary new-build growth hub

About 6th of October City

6th of October City is where modern Giza is being built, a sprawling planned satellite of gated compounds, universities, industry and mega-malls that, alongside New Cairo, has absorbed the lion's share of Egypt's new housing supply. Its apartment market posted some of the country's largest nominal price jumps in 2025, drawing heavy investor attention for its liquidity and new stock. The discipline required is to read those headline numbers through the lens of the pound's devaluation: real dollar returns are far more modest than the EGP figures suggest, and the city's scale comes with genuine car-dependence.
