About Al Karma Developments
The company has worked in residential development for more than a quarter of a century. Its flagship project in west Cairo follows a low-density compound concept: buildings take no more than about 20% of the land, and the rest is green space, water features and services. In practice the company is betting on villas and standalone houses rather than tall residential towers.

How to Approach Al Karma Projects Before Buying
Buying from a developer with a track record starts with checking the unit itself. These steps apply to any unit at Al Karma Gates:
- Establish whether the unit comes straight from the developer or from resale, because price and payment terms differ.
- Check the built-up area and plot area in the contract against what you were shown.
- Get the handover date and finishing level in writing, since some units are ready for immediate handover.
- Visit the compound, view the handed-over units and ask a current resident about maintenance and security.
Do not confuse Al Karma Gates with El Karma Residence, the neighbouring compound in the same area. It is by a different developer, Badr El-Din, and each has its own prices and payment plans.
