The distance to Sheikh Zayed ranges from about 7 to 15 kilometres depending on the measuring point. It is about 2 kilometres from the 26th of July Corridor and about 6 kilometres from the Ring Road. These figures are approximate.<\/p>\n<p>On this page we have gathered the location, the roads and the distances to Sheikh Zayed, 6th of October and the Fifth Settlement, with a table of nearby landmarks and frank notes to help you before you book. If prices are your interest, read our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/new-giza-prices-pros-cons-2026\/\">New Giza prices 2026 and the compound&#8217;s pros and cons<\/a>. As of October 2026, the distances and times given are estimates and vary by road and time of day, so check them on a map before you decide.<\/p>\n<h2>New Giza location in detail<\/h2>\n<p>The compound lies at Kilometre 22 of the Desert Road, before the Hosaela toll area, and falls administratively within 6th of October City. That is why you sometimes see it in Sheikh Zayed listings, given how close it is. It covers about 1,500 feddans and has 8 main entrances, which spreads entry and exit traffic across more than one road.<\/p>\n<p>The project sits in the heart of October, about 15 kilometres from Sheikh Zayed. The gap between 7 and 15 kilometres is normal because each measurement starts from a different point (the city entrance, the Sheikh Zayed compounds or Juhayna Square), so we show the range rather than one figure.<\/p>\n<h2>Distance table from New Giza<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wc-table-wrap\">\n<table class=\"wc-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Destination<\/th>\n<th>Declared distance or time<\/th>\n<th>Note<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>26th of July Corridor<\/td>\n<td>About 2 km<\/td>\n<td>Approximate<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ring Road<\/td>\n<td>About 6 km<\/td>\n<td>Approximate<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wahat Road<\/td>\n<td>About 10 minutes<\/td>\n<td>Approximate<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Grand Egyptian Museum<\/td>\n<td>About 6 km<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Giza Pyramids<\/td>\n<td>About 6 km<\/td>\n<td>The compound sits on a plateau close to the Pyramids<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Desert Road toll gate<\/td>\n<td>About 7 km<\/td>\n<td>Approximate<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sheikh Zayed City<\/td>\n<td>7 to 15 km<\/td>\n<td>Varies by phase; reaches 15 km<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nile University<\/td>\n<td>About 17 km<\/td>\n<td>From our project page<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mall Misr and Mall of Arabia<\/td>\n<td>About 18 km<\/td>\n<td>From our project page<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sphinx International Airport<\/td>\n<td>About 25 minutes<\/td>\n<td>Between 25 and 30 km<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Palm Hills October<\/td>\n<td>About 18 minutes<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Beverly Hills<\/td>\n<td>About 20 minutes<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fifth Settlement<\/td>\n<td>No reliable declared figure<\/td>\n<td>Check Google Maps or Waze for your own trip time<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Note: the figures above come from marketing data and are not an official measurement, and they may differ from one entrance to another. Use the table for quick comparison only, and try the route yourself at the peak hour that matters to you.<\/p>\n<h2>New Giza from Sheikh Zayed<\/h2>\n<p>For anyone who works or studies in <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/cites\/sheikh-zayed\/\">Sheikh Zayed<\/a>, the compound is one of the closest large gated communities on the Desert Road, but it is not inside the city. The declared distance is 7 to 15 kilometres, and the difference depends on your starting point in Zayed: from the nearest city entrance on the Desert Road the distance is shorter. Well-known compounds lie nearby, including Palm Hills October about 18 minutes away and Beverly Hills about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>If you are weighing settling in Zayed itself against New Giza, see <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/best-sheikh-zayed-compounds\/\">Best Sheikh Zayed compounds<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/villas-townhouses-sheikh-zayed-prices\/\">Villa and townhouse prices in Sheikh Zayed<\/a>, which show the alternatives with their published prices.<\/p>\n<h2>New Giza from 6th of October<\/h2>\n<p>Within <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/cites\/6-october\/\">6th of October City<\/a> the compound connects to the 26th of July Corridor, the Wahat Road and the Ring Road, and our page states that it is about 17 kilometres from Nile University and about 18 kilometres from Mall Misr and Mall of Arabia. Nearby projects in October include <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/projects\/villagio-compound-6-october-2\/\">Villagio<\/a> (its page mentions proximity to New Giza) and <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/projects\/tawny-hyde-park-october\/\">Tawny Hyde Park<\/a>, an area that draws many buyers. For a wider comparison read <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/best-compounds-in-6-october\/\">Best compounds in 6th of October<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>New Giza from the Fifth Settlement and New Cairo<\/h2>\n<p>The distance between <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/cites\/new-cairo\/\">the Fifth Settlement and New Cairo<\/a> and New Giza varies, and we do not want to estimate a time we cannot back. The trip crosses Cairo from east to west, usually along the Ring Road or the Regional Ring Road and then the Desert Road or the 26th of July Corridor, and the time is heavily affected by peak hours and by the last stretch near the Pyramids.<\/p>\n<p>Our practical advice: open Google Maps or Waze on a working-day morning and evening, record the trip time from your home or current workplace to the compound entrance, then compare. If your work is in east Cairo, projects in the Fifth Settlement may suit you better; see <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/new-cairo-fifth-settlement-compounds\/\">Fifth Settlement compounds<\/a> to compare prices and payment plans.<\/p>\n<h2>Roads leading to New Giza<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road:<\/strong> The compound is at Kilometre 22, the main route coming from Sheikh Zayed and October.<\/li>\n<li><strong>26th of July Corridor:<\/strong> About 2 km away, and it eases access from Giza and Mohandessin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ring Road:<\/strong> About 6 km away, linking the compound with the eastern and southern districts of Giza.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wahat Road:<\/strong> About 10 minutes, an alternative for those coming from New October.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dahshur Link and Juhayna Square:<\/strong> Both are roads connected with the compound.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Key landmarks inside and next to New Giza<\/h2>\n<p>The compound has an 18-hole golf course, a 4 km walking path, the New Giza Sports Club (NGSC) and Green Heart park, along with a Downtown area of about 70 feddans with restaurants, cafes and cinemas, and a hotel of about 600 rooms. In education there is New Giza University (NGU) on the Giza plateau and international schools including Lycee Albert Camus, Evolution and Abingham. This reduces how often you need to leave, which matters for anyone living away from central Giza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wc-cta\"><strong>Want to see New Giza for yourself?<\/strong> Tell us where you will be starting from and we will arrange a viewing and show you the best route and peak hours. <a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/201002200212\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Message us on WhatsApp<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Who does the New Giza location suit?<\/h2>\n<h3>For people working in Sheikh Zayed and October<\/h3>\n<p>If you work in Sheikh Zayed, the Smart Village or Media Production City, the compound is on the same western axis, and the trip splits between the Desert Road and the 26th of July Corridor depending on your workplace. That makes living there suitable for families who want a quiet home away from the density of central Giza while keeping Sheikh Zayed within reach.<\/p>\n<h3>For those coming from Giza and Mohandessin<\/h3>\n<p>The Ring Road is about 6 kilometres away and the 26th of July Corridor about 2 kilometres, which means reaching it from the greater Giza districts is along well-known main axes. Exact trip times change by the hour, so we do not give a fixed figure.<\/p>\n<h3>For fans of the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum<\/h3>\n<p>The compound&#8217;s closeness to the Pyramids plateau and the Grand Egyptian Museum (about 6 km, depending on the phase) gives it a tourism and leisure advantage, and the Gold Cliff phase stands out for its closeness to historic landmarks. It also means the area sees visitor traffic in peak seasons, which you should keep in mind when choosing a unit&#8217;s position.<\/p>\n<h3>For investors thinking about rental or resale<\/h3>\n<p>A location between the Pyramids and Sheikh Zayed is something many buyers look for, but returns and price movements change with the market and we do not promise them. If investment is your goal, compare current prices with the rents available for units in the same phase before you buy, and ask our team for data on units offered for resale.<\/p>\n<h2>New Giza phases and how they relate to location<\/h2>\n<p>Because of its size, the actual location differs by phase. The phases include District One (about 100 feddans at an elevation of 150 metres with views of the Pyramids), The Groves, Evora Hill, Carnell Park, Jasper Hill, West Ridge, Gold Cliff, Amber Vale and King Range, along with Sky Lakes and The Fourty Four. In short, the list of phases differs from one listing to another, so ask which phase is currently available and where it sits on the master plan before you measure the distance from any entrance.<\/p>\n<p>Do not rely on the area name alone, since the compound may be attributed to Sheikh Zayed, October or Giza. The most accurate reference is Kilometre 22 on the Desert Road and the coordinates of the entrance you will use.<\/p>\n<h2>Frank notes on the location<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Distance from east Cairo:<\/strong> Getting there from the Fifth Settlement and New Cairo is a relatively long trip, so work it out against your working hours.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Desert Road:<\/strong> It is congested at peak times and on holidays, especially at the toll stations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The size of the project:<\/strong> At about 1,500 feddans you may need to drive inside the compound, and the distance varies from one entrance to another and from one phase to another.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Differing distances:<\/strong> Each party announces a different figure, so do not rely on a single number.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Developer name:<\/strong> The developer is New Giza Real Estate Development, which has become G Development (formerly New Giza), so check the name in your contract.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the developer page, see <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/developer\/new-giza-developments\/\">New Giza Real Estate Development<\/a>, and to compare New Giza with nearby projects see <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/projects\/swan-lake-compound-6-october\/\">Swan Lake October<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/projects\/o-west-compound-october\/\">O West<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/projects\/sun-capital-compound-6-october-5\/\">Sun Capital<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/projects\/badya-palm-hills-october\/\">Badya Palm Hills<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to confirm the location before booking<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify the phase on offer, because its position inside the compound changes the distance to the entrances.<\/li>\n<li>Ask for the coordinates of the entrance nearest your unit and measure the time from there to your workplace.<\/li>\n<li>Visit the site at least twice, at different times.<\/li>\n<li>Ask which entrances are actually open to residents and to visitors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions about New Giza&#8217;s location<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wc-faq\">\n<h3 class=\"wc-faq-q\">Where exactly is New Giza?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wc-faq-a\">At Kilometre 22 of the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road in 6th of October City, near Sheikh Zayed, the Pyramids plateau and the 26th of July Corridor.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wc-faq-q\">Is New Giza in Sheikh Zayed or 6th of October?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wc-faq-a\">Administratively it is in 6th of October, but it is close to Sheikh Zayed, and the declared distance is between about 7 and 15 kilometres depending on the phase.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wc-faq-q\">How far is New Giza from the Fifth Settlement?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wc-faq-a\">There is no reliable official figure published.
