Uptown Cairo Mokattam

Uptown Cairo is an integrated residential community by Emaar Misr for Real Estate Development on the Mokattam plateau, spanning about 1,200 feddans at about 200 meters above sea level, with an 18 hole golf course, lakes, Emaar Square, a school and a hotel, and units ranging from apartments to villas.

About Uptown Cairo

Uptown Cairo is one of the largest Emaar Misr projects inside Cairo, designed as a small gated city divided into several residential neighborhoods arranged around lakes, green spaces and the golf course. Residents benefit from the elevation, which gives units views of the city skyline, cleaner air and calm away from the noise of central Cairo.

The project includes Emaar Square, the commercial heart of the compound, with fashion brands, fine restaurants, hotels and entertainment places, along with an 18 hole golf course with about 10 kilometers of golf frontage and an award winning golf clubhouse. Neighborhoods vary between standalone villas, twin houses, townhouses, apartments, duplexes and penthouses, each with its own architectural character and view.

The residential neighborhoods include Isadore, Hilltop, Alba, Fountain Side, Golf Vistas, Reyna, Golf Residences, Alto Residences, Celesta Hills, The Street of Dreams, Celesta By The Lake and The Fourteen Golf Residences.

Uptown Cairo prices and payment plans

Uptown Cairo prices vary from one neighborhood to another and from one type to another: apartment prices in Golf Residences differ from villas in Isadore, Alba or Hilltop, and prices and payment plans change with every new launch. Emaar Misr releases neighborhoods in phases, so construction of Golf Residences began in June 2026 and delivery is expected at the end of 2028.
