Maadi: The 2026 Buyer's Guide — compounds, prices and payment plans

Maadi is the district on the southern side of Cairo that the catalogue files under a single name, and inside it two compounds are sold straight by their developers rather than by individual owners: Skyline from Morshedy Group and Reve Du Nil from Nouvara Developments. Between them the record holds 19 units, all of them studios and apartments, with asking prices from EGP 2,952,000 to EGP 16,686,000 as of 30 September 2026. The two addresses do not carry the same payment plan — one stretches to 12 years from a 5% deposit, the other stops at 4 years from 20% — so the question worth answering in Maadi is not only what a unit costs but which plan fits the buyer.

Who Maadi suits

Maadi suits the buyer who wants a home in a district that is already built and lived in, rather than a plot on the edge of the city where the streets arrive later. What the catalogue holds here is flat: studios and apartments, with no villa, duplex or shop among the 19 units. That makes the area a fit for a single buyer or a couple who want a compact unit inside the city, for a household that wants an apartment of up to four bedrooms at a Maadi address, and for an owner who intends to let a small unit rather than live in it.

It suits less well the buyer who wants land, a garden or a large family house, and the buyer who wants a long instalment plan on a riverfront address — those two wishes pull in opposite directions in this district, because the Nilefront building here sells on a short plan and the long plan sits with the compound on the Kattameya side. A buyer who wants the widest choice of unit types will also find Maadi narrow: two compounds and two unit types is the whole menu, against the hundreds of units the catalogue carries in the larger new cities.

Compounds in Maadi: what the record holds

Anyone searching for compounds in Maadi Cairo, new compounds in Maadi or the best compounds in Maadi is working from a short list, because the catalogue carries exactly two:

• Skyline from Morshedy Group, whose stock in the record is studios and apartments. It is the larger of the two by unit count, with 11 units listed, and it is fully finished.
• Reve Du Nil from Nouvara Developments, whose stock in the record is studios only. It holds 8 units and is described as a serviced residence, with the studios and hotel apartments arranged over the tower's residential floors.

It is worth saying plainly what the record does not hold: there is no compound in Zahraa El Maadi and none on the Ring Road in this catalogue, and the area itself is filed under one district, Maadi, so there is no second district inside the area to choose between. A buyer who has heard of compounds in Zahraa El Maadi is looking at an address the catalogue cannot offer, and the two names above are the whole of Maadi as far as this record goes.

The two are not interchangeable. Skyline carries the wider mix — studios and apartments from 40 to 166 square metres — while Reve Du Nil sells one type, the studio, from 33 to 72 square metres, on a Nilefront plot. One is a mixed-use development whose own page describes it on Kattameya Road; the other stands inside Maadi, minutes from the river. Neither description makes the other redundant, and a buyer comparing them is comparing a size range against a location.

Prices in Maadi: what sellers are asking on 30 September 2026

Every figure in this section is an asking price taken from the catalogue on 30 September 2026, not a sale price: the record holds what sellers ask, and it holds no completed transaction and therefore no history to compare against.

At Skyline, the 11 units in the record run like this. The two studios are 40 square metres at EGP 2,952,000 and 55 square metres at EGP 3,663,000. The apartments start at a one-bedroom of 60 square metres for EGP 4,428,000, then two bedrooms of 95 and 105 square metres at EGP 7,011,000 and EGP 7,906,500. Three-bedroom apartments of 120, 125, 130 and 140 square metres are asking EGP 9,036,000, EGP 9,412,500, EGP 9,789,000 and EGP 10,542,000. The largest, two four-bedroom units of 155 and 166 square metres, ask EGP 11,671,500 and EGP 12,499,800.

At Reve Du Nil the record holds eight studios and nothing else. Three of them measure 33 square metres and ask EGP 7,833,000, EGP 8,134,425 and EGP 8,435,700. Two of 41 square metres ask EGP 8,259,570 and EGP 9,010,440. A 46-square-metre studio asks EGP 12,792,600, and two of 72 square metres ask EGP 16,018,560 and EGP 16,686,000.

Divided out, those asking prices work out at roughly EGP 66,600 to EGP 75,300 per square metre at Skyline, against roughly EGP 231,750 to EGP 278,100 per square metre at Reve Du Nil — that range is arithmetic on the asking prices above, not a valuation, and the gap it shows is the price of the Nilefront address rather than a difference in the units themselves.

Payment plans in Maadi: the deposit and the years

The two addresses sell on different terms, and the difference is the largest single thing separating them.

Skyline carries a 5% down payment and instalments of up to 12 years. Its compound page adds that the instalments are paid quarterly, and the unit record shows the same 5% and 12 years on every one of its 11 units, from the smallest studio to the largest apartment — so the cheapest way into the district on a monthly-outgo basis sits here, on a unit costing EGP 2,952,000, where 5% is EGP 147,600 and the balance is spread over 12 years.

Reve Du Nil carries two plans in the record: 20% down with up to 4 years, and 35% down with up to 4 years. Its eight studios sit on one or the other — the larger deposit applies to the two 72-square-metre units — and the plan is short by design, which is what a serviced Nilefront residence usually demands. On the entry unit of EGP 7,833,000, a 20% deposit is EGP 1,566,600 with the balance over 4 years.

Read together: 5% and 12 years at Skyline against 20% and 4 years at Reve Du Nil. Neither is better in the abstract. A buyer with a small amount of cash and a long horizon is better served by the first, and a buyer who wants to close the payment quickly and hold a serviced riverfront unit is better served by the second.

Delivery in Maadi: 2027 and 2030

The record gives two delivery years for the area, and each belongs to one address. Skyline's delivery date is February 2030, and every one of its 11 units carries that same month in the record. Reve Du Nil's project date is February 2027, with units spread across 2027 and 2028 — the two 72-square-metre studios hand over in 2027 and the smaller studios in 2028. Both projects are listed as fully finished.

The record carries no construction progress and no forecast for either, so there is nothing here to say about how the work is going or whether the dates will hold; it holds the dates themselves, and a buyer should read them as the developer's stated handover rather than as a schedule that has been measured.

Access and landmarks

The catalogue's landmarks put Reve Du Nil closest to the middle of the district: Station Square is 0.2 kilometres away, Maadi Maternity Hospital 0.6 kilometres, and Maadi Grand Mall 1.4 kilometres, with the Faculty of Dentistry at the modern University MTI 7.2 kilometres away and Hulwan Airport 17.2 kilometres. The same record lists the Ring Road, the Kattameya Ring Road, the Autostrad, the Nile Corniche and Mounib Road among the roads that reach the address, which is what keeps Maadi connected to the rest of Cairo rather than turning it into a place of its own.

Skyline's landmarks sit further east, which fits its own page's description of a Kattameya Road address: One Kattameya is 1.7 kilometres away, the Faculty of Dentistry at the modern University MTI 4.6 kilometres, Bandar Maadi Mall 6.5 kilometres, the one-day surgery hospital in New Maadi 7.5 kilometres and Almaza airport 14.2 kilometres.

For a buyer weighing districts against each other, the useful neighbours to set beside Maadi are Mokattam on the ridge to the east and Central Cairo to the north, where the catalogue also sells developer stock, and New Cairo on the other side of the city if the new-build districts are in the frame. Maadi's own offer is the older, denser end of that list, and the two compounds above are what it comes down to.

FAQ

How many compounds are in Maadi, and what are they called?

Two: Skyline from Morshedy Group, which sells studios and apartments, and Reve Du Nil from Nouvara Developments, which sells studios. No other compound appears for the area in the catalogue, and neither Zahraa El Maadi nor the Ring Road carries one in this record.

What are the asking prices in Maadi?

Asking prices on 30 September 2026 start at EGP 2,952,000 for a 40-square-metre studio at Skyline and run to EGP 16,686,000 for a 72-square-metre studio at Reve Du Nil. Skyline's apartments sit between EGP 4,428,000 and EGP 12,499,800, and Reve Du Nil's studios between EGP 7,833,000 and EGP 16,686,000.

What unit types are for sale in Maadi?

Studios and apartments, and nothing else — 19 units across the two compounds. Skyline holds both types, from a 40-square-metre studio to a 166-square-metre four-bedroom apartment, and Reve Du Nil holds studios of 33 to 72 square metres. There is no villa, townhouse, duplex or retail unit in this area's record.

What deposit and how many instalment years are available in Maadi?

Skyline offers 5% down with up to 12 years, paid quarterly, on all its units. Reve Du Nil offers 20% or 35% down with up to 4 years. The two plans are not interchangeable, so a buyer comparing the addresses is comparing a long, lightly loaded plan with a short, heavily loaded one.

When is the handover in Maadi?

Skyline's recorded delivery date is February 2030, and Reve Du Nil's is February 2027 with its units spread across 2027 and 2028. Both are listed as fully finished in the catalogue.
