Overview of El Fustat Old Cairo
El Fustat Old Cairo Compound
El Fustat is a large residential development on Salah Salem Street in Old Cairo, built by Saudi Egyptian Developers (SED) inside the wider Central Cairo fabric that surrounds it. Apartments for sale sit alongside offices and retail spaces in its Khan Arabesque quarter, all arranged within a master plan that revives the historic spirit of the district. The scheme spreads over 950 feddans, which makes an El Fustat compound of this scale one of the biggest new communities in the heart of the capital. For buyers, that scale translates into a rare chance to own inside a location that is at once central and self-contained.
El Fustat Old Cairo Location
The site sits near the Magra Al-Oyoun Aqueduct, close to the Salah El Din Citadel, Al Fustat Park, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization and the Amr Ibn Al-As Mosque. The Ring Road and Civilization Road connect it to Al Manial, Zamalek, Downtown Cairo and El Sheikh Zayed, while Cairo International Airport is a short drive away. Within a short radius, Al-Muqattam Hospital is 0.4 km away, Arabesque Al Fustat 1.2 km, the American University in Cairo 2.7 km and Al-Nekheely Computer mall 3 km. Much of the interest in souq El Fustat Old Cairo comes from the craft and market heritage that frames this part of the city.
El Fustat Old Cairo Master Plan
The first phase, Arabesque Al Fustat, covers 71 feddans and was planned as a complete living environment. Its homes draw on the architectural language of the Tulunid and Fatimid eras, with stone facades decorated in the traditions of the 10th century, giving the community a refined Islamic character. Apartments and retail shops are laid out so that daily life and trade sit side by side rather than in separate zones, which keeps the streets active through the day. The result is a master plan that reads as a modern district while keeping the memory of the old city in its detail, a balance that gives the address its distinct character.
El Fustat Old Cairo Amenities & Facilities
A 16-feddan entertainment zone brings an indoor theatre, an open-air theatre, six cinemas, a hotel and a large shopping centre, while the tourist promenade offers dedicated jogging, walking and cycling paths. Underground parking accommodates 1,355 cars, and services include CCTV, round-the-clock security, access control, firefighting systems, HVAC and smart parking management. Inside the homes, a commercial strip, Security 24/7, balconies, central AC and kitchen cabinets form the daily base, while the El Fustat pottery village keeps the craft tradition of the area alive. Together these facilities let residents treat the compound as a base for culture, shopping and daily routine without leaving the district.

About Central Cairo
Overview Central Cairo is not a compound market in the usual sense: it is the historic core of the capital, and what is sold here is apartments, studios, offices and retail units inside towers and mixed-use buildings rather than villas behind a gate.
