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.

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.
