Giza: The 2026 Buyer's Guide — compounds and prices

What you can buy in Giza, and what it costs

Giza is a city in its own right on the west bank of the Nile, sitting directly across the river from central Cairo, and today the catalogue holds two compounds there with six homes between them. Asking prices in Giza start at EGP 9,500,000, the entry point being a fully finished studio of 35 square metres in Giza Down Town, while the four retail units inside Giza Crown Tower begin at EGP 16,791,000. Everything below is taken from the record on 7 October 2026 — the compounds, the asking prices, the payment plans and the delivery dates — so a buyer can see exactly where the district stands before shortlisting.

Who Giza suits

Giza suits the buyer who wants an address that is already built and already busy rather than a new gate in the desert. Giza Down Town sits about 1.1 km from Cairo University and 0.8 km from the Giza Zoo, with Tahrir Square 2.4 km away, so the audience it reads for is a student, a lecturer, a small household or a professional who wants the middle of the city on foot and does not need a compound's internal club or landscaping to justify the price. Its two homes are studios, and studios are the shape that fits one person or a couple rather than a family with children.

Giza Crown Tower reads for a different buyer entirely. Its four homes are retail, and their own labels say what they were built for: two duplex bank branches and two pharmacies. That is the profile of a business owner or an investor who wants a street-level unit on a Giza frontage, a bank or a pharmacy tenant, a mix of ground and upper floor space, and a payment plan that runs long enough to hold through a fit-out. It is not a residential proposition at all — the record holds no apartment and no villa in this compound.

That is also the honest limit of Giza in this catalogue. If what you want is a villa, a large family apartment or a self-contained compound with wide internal amenities, there is nothing here for that yet; the wide catalogue of family compounds sits in New Cairo, 6th of October City, the New Capital and Sheikh Zayed. Giza, as the catalogue holds it, is a central-city and commercial story: studios for the centre, retail for the street.

The compounds worth knowing in Giza

Two compounds carry every unit in the district, and both are worth a look on their own page:

• Giza Down Town — developed by Nouvara Developments. Two fully finished studios, 35 square metres and 55 square metres, with a 5% deposit and a plan that runs to 10 years. Per the record, handover is dated 30 August 2029. Its landmarks are the most central in the district: Cairo University at 1.1 km, the Giza Zoo at 0.8 km and Tahrir Square at 2.4 km.
• Giza Crown Tower — developed by Segments 4 development. Four fully finished retail units: two duplex bank-branch units of 82 and 122 square metres, and two pharmacy units of 60 and 69 square metres. The deposit starts at 2.5%, and the record shows four payment plans (2.5% over 8 years, 5% over 10, 5% over 11 and 10% over 12). Its nearest recorded landmarks are Dream Park at 7.4 km, the Pyramids of Giza at 9.8 km, the Mall of Egypt at 9.9 km and the Grand Egyptian Museum at 10.7 km.

One caveat a buyer searching "New Giza compound" should hear plainly: New Giza, and the other names Google completes the word Giza with — Giza Palace, Giza Park, Giza Square — are not in this catalogue, so no asking price for them can be quoted here. The two entries above are everything the record currently holds under the Giza district.

Prices and payment plans in Giza (asking prices, dated 7 October 2026)

These are asking prices — what sellers are asking — and not sale prices. The catalogue keeps no price history, so no trend and no percentage change can be read from it; the only honest statement is the number on the row today.

• Giza Down Town, 35 sqm studio — EGP 9,500,000, fully finished.
• Giza Down Town, 55 sqm studio — EGP 18,500,000, fully finished.
• Giza Crown Tower, 82 sqm duplex bank branch — EGP 16,791,000, fully finished.
• Giza Crown Tower, 69 sqm pharmacy — EGP 17,390,000, fully finished.
• Giza Crown Tower, 60 sqm pharmacy — EGP 18,979,000, fully finished.
• Giza Crown Tower, 122 sqm duplex bank branch — EGP 28,635,000, fully finished.

On terms, the whole district is unusually light at the front. The lowest deposit the record shows in Giza is 2.5%, and that sits in Giza Crown Tower; Giza Down Town asks 5%. The longest plan in the district is 12 years, again at Giza Crown Tower, and the four plans stored there run from a 2.5% deposit over 8 years up to a 10% deposit over 12 years. Read the two ends of that ladder as a trade: a smaller deposit with a shorter tail, or a larger deposit with a longer one — the asking price on the row does not change, only how it is spread. At Giza Down Town the single plan is simpler: 5% down over 10 years, on both studios.

A word on the two studios, because the gap between them deserves one. The 35 sqm studio asks EGP 9,500,000 and the 55 sqm one asks EGP 18,500,000 — twenty square metres more for close to double the money. That is arithmetic on two asking prices and nothing more; it is not a price per square metre for the district, and a buyer should treat the two as separate offers rather than points on a line.

Delivery in Giza — what the record dates

The area record carries one delivery year: 2029. Both Giza Down Town studios are dated 30 August 2029, so the wait from today is real and should be priced into any decision. Giza Crown Tower stores its handover as a horizon of about three and a half years from contract rather than a calendar date, and the individual retail rows carry no separate delivery date of their own. Either way, both compounds are recorded as fully finished, which removes a fit-out stage from the buyer's own timeline even where the building itself is not handed over yet.

What the record does not carry is any construction progress, any completion percentage or any forecast. The dates above are the only timing signals in the data, and anything beyond them would be a guess rather than a fact. A buyer comparing Giza with a ready compound elsewhere should set 2029 for the studios against a ready-to-move option and decide whether the central address is worth the wait.

Access and landmarks

Giza's position is its whole proposition, and the record states it in distances. From Giza Down Town the city centre is close: the Giza Zoo at 0.8 km, Cairo University at 1.1 km and Tahrir Square at 2.4 km. The Giza Pyramids are 11.1 km away and Cairo International Airport 22.1 km. From Giza Crown Tower the western landmarks dominate: Dream Park at 7.4 km, the Pyramids of Giza at 9.8 km, the Mall of Egypt at 9.9 km, the Grand Egyptian Museum at 10.7 km and Sphinx International Airport at 29.9 km.

Note that Giza is its own city in the catalogue, not a district of Cairo — the areas west of it, such as 6th of October City, Sheikh Zayed and New Sphinx, are listed as separate cities rather than parts of Giza. For a buyer, that matters less than the practical point: this is the west bank, immediately across the river from downtown Cairo, with the university, the zoo and the museum district on its doorstep. The full district overview lives on the Giza area page.
