Kairo New Cairo by Waterway Hotel Apartments

Kairo by Waterway in the Fifth Settlement is a luxury hotel-apartment project by Waterway Developments on 8,397 square meters behind 5A Mall. It has 95 units of studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments and penthouses from 55 to 220 square meters, with prices starting from about EGP 16.5 million as of November 2026, 10% down and installments up to 5 years.

About Kairo

Kairo is not a traditional compound but a small residential building with hotel-style management: only 95 units across a ground floor, three repeated floors and penthouse suites on top. Its architecture draws on classic European style with arches, balconies, tall windows and calm beige facades, and it lights up in the evening with the character of a European city-center hotel.

Units are delivered furnished and fully finished, including furniture, appliances, central air conditioning and smart home systems for lighting, cooling, curtains and security, so they are set up to live in or to rent as hotel stays at handover with no extra fit-out cost.

Sizes and unit types

Kairo offers hotel units from 55 up to 220 square meters, with choices among studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments and penthouses. All units are furnished and fully finished, with a dedicated parking space for each.

How to assess a hotel unit as an investment

Buying a hotel unit differs from buying an ordinary apartment, since the return depends on occupancy and management fees and not only on monthly rent. So we ask the developer for the service-fee structure and how renting is managed, compare the cost of the furnished unit with a similar ordinary unit in the area, and show you what the contract guarantees and what it does not, so your decision rests on numbers rather than promises.

Kairo prices and payment plans

Kairo prices start from approximately EGP 16.5 million as of November 2026, quoted under the installment plan, and change with size and floor. The available plan:

• 10% down payment.
• Installments up to 5 years.
• A refundable booking deposit.
• Delivery expected within about two years of contracting.

As an approximate example, a EGP 20 million unit with 10% down over 5 years needs about EGP 2 million at booking, with the balance spread over 5 years at roughly EGP 300,000 a month before any annual payments. We send the actual schedule for the unit you choose on WhatsApp.

Who Kairo suits and what to check before booking

Kairo suits buyers who want a furnished hotel apartment with hotel services in the heart of the Fifth Settlement, whether to live in or as an investment in short-term renting to university and business visitors. Because units are high-priced and the project has few of them, it is important to understand how the hotel is managed and what it charges. Before booking, check:

• Unit number, size and floor written in the contract.
• The payment schedule and the plan available for that exact unit.
• The delivery date and the list of furniture and appliances included, as stated in the contract.
• Hotel service fees and how hotel-style renting is managed if you want it.
