Obour: an established city and a new city east of Cairo
Obour is a city in Qalyubia Governorate about 35 km north-east of Cairo. It was founded in 1982 and is known for its industrial zone and the Obour wholesale market. Beside it lies New Obour City, a new urban community created by Presidential Decree No. 249 of 2016, issued on 9 June 2016, on about 58,914 feddans. The armed forces keep six sites of about 13,770 feddans inside it, and the New Urban Communities Authority oversees its strategic and detailed plans.
Where Obour sits
- New Obour is bounded on the south by the Cairo-Ismailia Desert Road, along which its edge runs roughly from km 26 to km 48.
- On the east it reaches the boundary of 10th of Ramadan City.
- Main internal roads include Belbeis Road and the Line 10 road, with existing residential districts around them such as El Horreya, El Karama and Sakan Misr.
Our projects in Obour
We offer Step Mall Obour by Al Ashraf Developments, a commercial, administrative and medical project on a 2,097 sqm plot. It has a ground floor and three repeated floors around an open inner courtyard, and sits on Belbeis Road and the Line 10 road next to the Horreya, Karama and Sakan Misr districts. The project is under construction and has units for shops, offices and clinics. The same company also owns The Core Mall in Fifth Settlement on 3,500 sqm, which allows a comparison of design and size between its two projects.
Who Obour suits
Obour suits an operator who serves residents of districts that already exist, such as a clinic, a service office or a retail shop, because demand comes from the surrounding residents rather than from visitors who must be attracted. A buyer holding for the long term should watch the pace of utilities and services in the new city, which is still growing.
What we review with you before booking
- The real construction status and the delivery date written in the contract.
- The unit position between the street frontage and the inner courtyard, which changes footfall and price.
- Payment plans and the booking down payment for shops, offices and clinics.
