It is built around a 27-hole championship golf course and includes The Westin Cairo Golf Resort &amp; Spa. As of the October 2026 update, villa prices start from EGP 60 million per the page description, with a 10% down payment and installments up to 7 years, while other sections of the page show higher figures up to EGP 80 million. The units are mostly ready to live in and are offered mainly through resale and rental.<\/p>\n<h2>Katameya Dunes Location<\/h2>\n<p>The compound is in the Fifth Settlement in <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/cites\/new-cairo\/\">New Cairo<\/a>, close to the Gamal Abdel Nasser Axis and the Teseen Road. It is minutes from the Mivida project and the American University, with easy access to the Regional Ring Road, the Suez Road and the Grand Egyptian Museum.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13799\" src=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/katameya-dunes-2.webp\" alt=\"Katameya Dunes Compound Fifth Settlement | Katameya Dunes - residential buildings and walkways\" width=\"1000\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/katameya-dunes-2.webp 1000w, https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/katameya-dunes-2-300x144.webp 300w, https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/katameya-dunes-2-768x369.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The project covers 170 feddans, with green space and water features making up about 80% and housing about 20%. The artificial lakes run for about 7,400 meters. Katameya Heights and Katameya Gardens sit side by side in the area, among the oldest luxury villa communities in New Cairo.<\/p>\n<p>Also see: <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/projects\/katameya-gardens\/\">Katameya Gardens Compound Fifth Settlement<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/projects\/one-katameya\/\">One Katameya Compound<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Unit Sizes and Types<\/h2>\n<p>Units range across apartments, duplexes, twin houses, townhouses and standalone villas. Unit sizes start from 285 sqm for a twin house as the page describes, broken down as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Apartments and duplexes of up to 500 sqm.<\/li>\n<li>Twin houses from 285 sqm, with advertised examples of 370 and 450 sqm.<\/li>\n<li>Townhouses between 381 and 600 sqm in current advertisements.<\/li>\n<li>Standalone villas with a built-up area starting from 800 sqm, with examples of 1,150, 1,480 and 1,500 sqm (the last fully finished).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note that sizes here are far larger than the average for Fifth Settlement compounds: a standalone villa starts from 800 sqm as the page describes, while villas in many recent projects start from about 200 to 300 sqm. Units currently shown on the page range between 370 and 1,500 sqm, so the project is aimed at the large-villa segment and at buyers looking for wide plots on the golf course or the lakes. A unit&#8217;s position (overlooking the golf course, or in the second row) determines a large part of the price.<\/p>\n<h2>Katameya Dunes Prices<\/h2>\n<p>Figures differ within the same listing page, so we show them as ranges:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A starting price of EGP 80 million in the page title, EGP 76.2 million in the sales section, and from EGP 60 million in the description.<\/li>\n<li>Resale prices start from about EGP 65 million, and some large villas reach more than EGP 160 million.<\/li>\n<li>The average price per sqm in the project is about EGP 187,000, in a range from EGP 156,000 to 216,000 per the calculator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The project also shows high rental advertisements, including a unit offered at about EGP 520,000 a month and a villa for sale at about EGP 167 million. These are examples of individual advertisements and not official prices. An investor buyer benefits from comparing the expected rental yield with the purchase price before deciding. Price is affected by the age of the finishing, the level of maintenance and the unit&#8217;s closeness to the golf course, so a single average cannot be used to value a specific unit.<\/p>\n<h2>Payment Plans and Installments at Katameya Dunes<\/h2>\n<p>The stated plan is a 10% down payment of the unit&#8217;s value, with the balance paid in equal installments over 7 years, while the page&#8217;s calculator is set to 8 years and a pop-up window mentions 6 years, so what is available ranges from 6 to 8 years depending on the offer.<\/p>\n<p>For the higher-priced villas, cash payment or a large down payment is the most common, so ask for a comparison of the two options with the discount available and the rules for transferring ownership.<\/p>\n<h2>The Developer: Star Light (Katameya Group)<\/h2>\n<p>The project is tied to the Cairo for Investment and Real Estate Development Company (CIRA), to Katameya Group (formerly Star Light Developments), and to the name <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/developer\/star-light-developments\/\">Star Light Developments<\/a>. For this reason we show both names and recommend confirming the marketing entity before contracting.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13801\" src=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/katameya-dunes-3.webp\" alt=\"Katameya Dunes Compound Fifth Settlement | Katameya Dunes - villas overlooking the golf course\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/katameya-dunes-3.webp 600w, https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/katameya-dunes-3-300x225.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The group&#8217;s projects tied to the name include Katameya Heights, Katameya Creeks and Katameya Coast on the North Coast. The Westin Cairo Golf Resort &amp; Spa opened inside Katameya Dunes in late 2016, and it was the first Westin hotel in Cairo.<\/p>\n<h2>Services and Facilities at Katameya Dunes<\/h2>\n<p>Katameya Dunes stands out for its golf and hospitality facilities, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A 27-hole championship course with three different layouts, a pro shop, practice areas, locker rooms, carts, caddies and equipment rental.<\/li>\n<li>A golf academy with professional PGA instructors and access to the Titleist Performance Institute for physical assessment.<\/li>\n<li>The Westin Cairo Golf Resort &amp; Spa, and a social clubhouse with a members&#8217; lounge, restaurants and cafes.<\/li>\n<li>A spa and wellness treatments, swimming pools including a covered one for women, an aqua park, fountains and water features.<\/li>\n<li>A shopping center and commercial area, a sports club, a gym and courts, a mosque, a pharmacy and garages.<\/li>\n<li>24-hour security, CCTV, solar panels and underground parking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Who Katameya Dunes Is For<\/h2>\n<p>Katameya Dunes suits golf enthusiasts and those looking for a spacious villa on a large plot in an established gated community, and anyone who wants to live beside a five-star hotel and a wellness resort. It also works for luxury rental, as the project shows high-value rental advertisements. A buyer looking for a small unit with long installments is better served by other projects in the Fifth Settlement.<\/p>\n<p>We note that the gap between a villa on the golf course and one in the second row can run to tens of millions, so we always ask for the layout and the plot number before any comparison, and we recommend verifying the marketing entity because the data on the developer&#8217;s name differs.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips Before Reserving at Katameya Dunes<\/h2>\n<p>Before contracting for a villa in Katameya Dunes, we recommend checking the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ask which entity owns and markets the project, and confirm the developer&#8217;s name in the contract, since the data differs between CIRA and Star Light.<\/li>\n<li>Locate the villa in relation to the golf course and the lakes and ask for the plot map, because price is strongly affected by position.<\/li>\n<li>Check the finishing condition, the age of the villa and its maintenance record, along with club and community fees.<\/li>\n<li>Compare buying on installments over 6 to 8 years with cash payment and the discount available.<\/li>\n<li>Review the unit registration and ownership transfer procedures before paying the down payment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Buy Katameya Dunes Through West Capital<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>We separate developer-announced prices from resale prices wherever available, and set out the price per sqm and the actual handover date of each unit before any commitment.<\/li>\n<li>We compare Katameya Dunes with competing projects in New Cairo (such as Katameya Heights, Katameya Gardens and One Katameya) to fit your budget and your purpose for buying.<\/li>\n<li>We review the payment schedule, maintenance and deposit with you before you reserve so no extra item surprises you.<\/li>\n<li>Full follow-up of the contracting steps through to handover, with no extra fees from West Capital.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>See more of the <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/cites\/new-cairo\/\">compounds and projects in New Cairo<\/a>, including <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/projects\/katameya-heights\/\">Katameya Heights Compound New Cairo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/projects\/katameya-gardens\/\">Katameya Gardens Compound Fifth Settlement<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/projects\/one-katameya\/\">One Katameya Compound<\/a>, and browse the other projects of <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/developer\/star-light-developments\/\">Star Light Developments<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/new-cairo-fifth-settlement-compounds\/\">guide to Fifth Settlement compounds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ About Katameya Dunes<\/h2>\n<h3>Where is Katameya Dunes Compound?<\/h3>\n<p>In the Fifth Settlement, New Cairo, near the Gamal Abdel Nasser Axis and the Teseen Road, minutes from Mivida and the American University.<\/p>\n<h3>How large is Katameya Dunes?<\/h3>\n<p>170 feddans, with green space and water features taking about 80% of it.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the starting prices at Katameya Dunes?<\/h3>\n<p>From about EGP 60 to 80 million depending on the section of the page (October 2026).
