Katameya is three different things wearing one name: the open-air retail destination that dominates 'Downtown Katameya' searches, a North Coast resort called Katameya Coast, and (what this guide prices) the residential plateau on New Cairo's southern edge, where roughly 300 live listings run from a EGP 31.8K meter at Katameya Gate to 97.3K at Swan Lake. A 3× spread inside one district; here is the map, on live data.
First, untangle the three Katameyas
- Katameya, the district: the plateau along New Cairo's southern corridor, home to the golf-era prestige compounds (Katameya Heights, Katameya Dunes) and the newer Stone cluster. This guide.
- Downtown Katameya: the open-air retail and dining destination whose name fills Katameya search results. A place to eat and shop, not a residential compound; the homes around it are what this page prices.
- Katameya Coast: a Mediterranean North Coast resort that borrowed the name: 108 live listings at a 138.5K meter, a different market 400km away. If a 'Katameya' chalet ad quotes a beach, it is this one.
Every tracked zone, priced
| Zone | Live listings | Median cash | Median EGP/m² |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stone Residence | 85 | EGP 10.6M | 60,227 |
| El Katameya (compounds zone) | 55 | EGP 9.5M | 45,455 |
| Katameya (district) | 54 | EGP 7.25M | 55,172 |
| Stone Park | 51 | EGP 11.7M | 68,544 |
| Katameya Gate | 20 | EGP 2.8M | 31,818 |
| West Golf | 20 | EGP 12.1M | 45,000 |
| The Hills at Stone Park | 11 | EGP 19.1M | 80,599 |
| Swan Lake Katameya | 9 | EGP 21.9M | 97,284 |
| Katameya Heights | 8 | EGP 24M | 85,251 |
Pools under ~30 listings (The Hills, Swan Lake, Katameya Heights) carry indicative medians; Katameya Dunes and Katameya Gardens sit in our tree with only 3–4 listings each, too thin to publish honestly.
How to read the spread
The plateau splits into three eras. The golf era: Katameya Heights (EGP 24M median at 85.3K/m²) and West Golf, whose modest 45K meter hides EGP 12.1M tickets, because these are big-footprint villas where the land, not the meter, is the product. The Stone cluster is the volume core: Stone Residence (85 listings, 60.2K), Stone Park (51, 68.5K) and The Hills (80.6K), 147 live listings of apartment-led stock right off the Ring Road. And the budget door: Katameya Gate at a EGP 2.8M median and 31.8K/m², one of the cheapest compound entries in all of New Cairo.
Katameya against New Cairo
The New Cairo benchmark meter is 70.3K. Katameya's tracked zones bracket it from both sides (31.8K to 97.3K) which is exactly why quoting 'Katameya prices' without naming the compound is meaningless. On the same southern corridor, Marakez's District 5 asks 88.5K (its own guide is here), and the compound price index puts every one of these meters against 60+ others.
Before you sign on the plateau
- Golf-era homes are vintage homes. A two-decade villa needs a refresh budget: inspect ACs, waterproofing and gardens, and price the works before you price the house.
- Name the compound, not 'Katameya'. Ads borrow the district's prestige loosely; the 3× meter spread above is what that costs you.
- Big-villa meters mislead. West Golf's 45K/m² is cheap per meter and expensive per ticket. Decide which number is your constraint first.
- Compare on the real cash price (down payment plus all remaining installments, computed on every 3altool listing) and read the red flags guide before any resale paperwork.

Counts and medians are 3altool data as of 18 August 2026. The listings behind them are no longer refreshed, so read the figures as a dated snapshot. Pools under ~30 listings carry noisier medians. Not investment advice.
Frequently asked questions
What is Downtown Katameya?
The open-air retail and dining destination that dominates Katameya searches: a place to shop and eat, not a residential compound. The homes around it are the Katameya district market this guide prices, from Katameya Gate (EGP 31.8K/m²) to the golf compounds.
What is the cheapest way into Katameya?
Katameya Gate: a median cash price of EGP 2.8M at 31.8K/m² on live listings, one of the cheapest compound entries in New Cairo. The Stone cluster's apartments (60–69K/m²) are the mid-market step up.
How much does Katameya Heights cost in 2026?
The live pool medians EGP 24M at 85.3K/m², but it is only 8 listings, skewed to large golf villas, so treat it as indicative. Vintage matters here: price the refurbishment before the house.
Is Katameya Coast in Katameya?
No, it is a Mediterranean North Coast resort that borrowed the name: 108 live listings at a 138.5K/m² median, a completely different market. If the ad shows a beach, it is Katameya Coast, not the New Cairo plateau.
