Compound Telal East New Cairo Fifth Settlement is a residential compound by Roya Developments spread across 184 acres directly on Suez Road, next to the Middle Ring Road in New Cairo. The project marks the newest residential chapter in Roya’s long-running “Telal” line, a series that began with coastal villages on the North Coast and in Ain Sokhna before moving into the heart of New Cairo. What separates this address from the compounds sitting inside the crowded Fifth Settlement districts is a multi-phase structure that opens a price ladder starting at 8,705,000 EGP for an apartment and reaching 54,000,000 EGP for a 472 m² standalone villa, all under a 0% down payment plan with installments up to 10 years.
The compound is built around three launches rather than one uniform product. Phase 1 carries sky villas, townhouses and standalone villas, Telal East Selection adds apartments, duplexes, penthouses and lofts in smaller footprints, and Telal East Prive Island delivers fully finished luxury villas and the extended-tenor Stone Villa. That spread lets a first-time apartment buyer and a high-budget villa buyer both find a fit inside the same masterplan, which is unusual for the area and is the main reason the project rewards a closer look before deciding.
Where exactly is Compound Telal East located?
Compound Telal East New Cairo Fifth Settlement sits directly on Suez Road beside the Middle Ring Road, on a main artery rather than inside a dense residential grid. Roya chose the plot to match a villa compound of 184 acres, so residents enter from a single gate off a highway instead of threading through congested internal streets. The position trades interior-district walkability for regional reach, giving direct connection to every part of Greater Cairo from one controlled entrance.
The location’s practical value shows up in its distances to the landmarks New Cairo buyers actually use. Cairo International Airport lies 15 minutes away, a rare figure for a villa compound in the Fifth Settlement. The American University in Cairo (AUC) and the German University in Cairo (GUC) are both roughly 10 minutes out, which seeds a steady tenant base of academics and parents. North 90th Street, the commercial spine of the Fifth Settlement, sits close by, while the Middle Ring Road runs alongside the plot and ties it into the regional road network in every direction.
The surrounding district and neighbouring compounds
The compound sits inside an established high-end residential belt, and its neighbours support the value of units around it. Madinaty, the large integrated city east of the plot, anchors demand and services across the surrounding area. Mountain View iCity New Cairo and Galleria Residence sit nearby, forming a consistent premium-housing context around Telal East rather than an isolated pocket. For a buyer, that neighbour profile matters as much as the compound itself, because resale prices in gated communities move with the tier of the addresses next door, and here the surrounding tier is firmly upscale.
Roya Developments and the “Telal” track record
Roya Developments was founded in 1997 by engineer Hisham Shokry, and it built a portfolio spanning tourist and residential projects across several regions before merging its operations with Pioneer Real Estate, a step that widened its financing and management base. Telal East is the newest residential expression of the “Telal” series that gave Roya its identity over the years. The developer’s completed work is what lets a buyer judge execution on the ground rather than on a brochure, which is a real difference from developers with no delivered projects under the same brand.
Roya’s earlier projects give the buyer several reference points to inspect before signing:
- Telal North Coast, the parent project of the “Telal” series on the North Coast.
- Telal Shores Ain Sokhna and Telal Sokhna, the coastal extensions of the same line.
- Stone Park New Cairo, Roya’s earlier residential compound in the same district.
- El Hadaba 6 October, its expansion into west Cairo.
- The Big Business District and Point 90 Mall, its commercial projects in New Cairo.
The practical benefit of that history for a Telal East buyer is direct. The completed coastal and Sokhna projects can be visited before contracting, so the level of construction and long-term maintenance can be assessed in person, not assumed. That option to verify is worth more than any promise on a floor plan.
Total area and urban design
The total area of the compound reaches 184 acres, and Roya allocated the largest share of it to landscaping, green spaces and artificial lakes. The design uses landscape features as the separator between units instead of direct streets, which gives each unit a high degree of privacy and an outlook onto natural elements rather than an immediate neighbour. Units rely on wide glass facades that increase the connection between inside and outside, carrying the project’s core idea of living inside a garden rather than placing a garden next to the home.
Project phases and unit types
Telal East stands apart from its Fifth Settlement rivals by launching three phases with different structures, each aimed at a specific slice of buyers. Reading the phases correctly is essential, because the same money buys a very different product depending on which launch a unit belongs to.
Phase 1: villas and townhouses
The founding phase is limited to sky villas, townhouses and standalone villas, with areas from 205 to 575 m². This is the luxury residential core of the project, aimed at the buyer seeking a self-contained villa with a full landscape view.

Phase 2: Telal East Selection
The Selection phase opens the compound to a new segment with smaller units: apartments, duplexes, penthouses and lofts in areas from 119 up to 250 m². This phase includes the lakes, underground parking and a community centre. Its payment plan is 0% down with 10 years of installments plus an 8% maintenance fee, and units are delivered semi-finished within 4 years.

Phase 3: Telal East Prive Island
The premium Prive Island phase offers a distinctive mix: townhouses in Middle and Corner types up to 229 m² with prices starting from 29,374,000 EGP, standalone villas from 253 to 472 m², a Stone Villa of 295 m² on an extended payment plan up to 14 years, plus apartments of 110 and 129 m². Every Prive Island unit is delivered fully finished with air-conditioning, and the payment plan runs at 0% down with the first installment due after 6 months and equal installments over 10 years.
What are Telal East unit prices in 2026?
Telal East unit prices in 2026 start from 8,705,000 EGP for a 110 m² apartment and rise to 54,000,000 EGP for the largest 472 m² standalone villa. Prices were updated in 2026 and carry the compound’s core plan of 0% down with installments up to 10 years. The table below summarises the price ladder by unit type, with the average installment price per metre where available.
| Unit type | Area (m²) | Price starting from (EGP) | Avg. installment price/m² (EGP) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apartment (2-bedroom) | 110 | 8,705,000 | 79,000 |
| Apartment (3-bedroom) | 129 | 10,071,000 | 78,000 |
| Garden duplex | 233 + 50 | 16,690,000 | N/A |
| Sky villa | 310 | 17,700,000 | N/A |
| Townhouse | 205, 229 | 24,809,000, 29,374,000 | 121,000 |
| Standalone villa (4-bedroom) | 253, 354 | 31,868,000, 42,367,000 | 123,000 |
| Standalone villa (5-bedroom) | 453 | 47,298,000 | 104,500 |
| Standalone villa (6-bedroom) | 472 | 54,000,000 | 114,500 |
One note on the price ladder is worth flagging before a viewing. A 310 m² sky villa at 17.7 million sits below a 205 m² townhouse at 24.8 million, and the gap is not driven by size. It reflects the phase and the finishing type, because a Prive Island townhouse is delivered fully finished with air-conditioning while a Phase 1 sky villa carries a different finish. When you view, confirm the unit’s segment, whether Phase 1, Selection or Prive Island, and its finishing level, since those are the two factors that actually set the value.
Payment and installment plans
Roya structured some of the most flexible payment terms in the Fifth Settlement market at Telal East, with variation between the three phases. The plans reward a buyer who reads them against cash-on-hand rather than against headline price alone:
- Core project plan: 0% booking down payment, with the balance installed over a period up to 10 years without interest.
- Selection phase: the same plan of 0% down plus 10 years, with an 8% maintenance fee of the unit value, and delivery within 4 years semi-finished.
- Prive Island phase: 0% down, the first installment due 6 months after contracting, equal installments over 10 years, with delivery fully finished including air-conditioning.
- The Stone Villa in Prive Island stands alone with a payment plan extending up to 14 years, the longest installment tenor in the villa category across the Fifth Settlement.
The logic behind the 0% down payment is straightforward. Booking starts at the lowest possible liquidity cost, and in Prive Island the buyer pays the first installment only after 6 months, enough time to arrange finances. Compared with Fifth Settlement compounds that ask for 5% to 10% down at contracting on a unit priced at 30 million, meaning 1.5 to 3 million in immediate cash, the difference in the cash needed to enter is very large.
Finishing and delivery
Finishing at Telal East depends on the phase, which is a factor a buyer should price in directly. Selection units are delivered semi-finished with a stated timeline of 4 years from contracting, while every Prive Island unit is handed over fully finished with air-conditioning included. That split explains part of the price gap between phases and should shape the comparison, since a fully finished handover removes a large post-delivery spend that a semi-finished unit still carries.
What amenities and services are inside the compound?
Roya designed the services at Telal East to deliver a self-contained lifestyle inside the gates, dedicating the largest part of the area to leisure and natural recreation. The amenities fall into four groups so buyers can weigh what matters to them.
Green and water features
- Artificial lakes distributed between the units, giving most villas a natural outlook.
- Landscaping and green spaces forming the largest share of the 184-acre total area.
- Swimming pools of varied shapes and lengths serving different age groups.
- Walking and cycling tracks kept away from the main internal roads.
Sports and social facilities
- A clubhouse with a gym, spa and jacuzzi.
- Dedicated play areas for children.
- A community centre in the Selection phase for social events.
Commercial and service facilities
- An internal commercial area serving residents’ daily shopping needs.
- Restaurants, cafes and international brands distributed inside the compound.
- An advanced garage for every villa to prevent congestion, plus underground parking in the Selection phase.
- Maintenance and cleaning services around the week.
Security and safety
- Security and guarding services 24 hours a day.
- Modern surveillance cameras in every corner of the compound.
- Integrated fire-fighting systems for immediate response to any emergency.
Investment analysis: who is Telal East suited for?
The opportunity at Telal East rests on four specific facts that separate it from rivals in the Fifth Settlement. The first is the location on Suez Road beside the Middle Ring Road, which delivers regional connection unavailable to compounds buried inside the district, together with the 15-minute proximity to Cairo Airport. The second is the large 184-acre area with a distribution weighted toward greenery and water, creating a product distinct from the smaller Fifth Settlement compounds that rely on higher build density. The third is the multi-phase structure that opens a ladder from 8.7 million for an apartment to 54 million for a standalone villa inside one project, a chance for a larger buyer to diversify a portfolio. The fourth is the 0% down payment, which lowers the cash required at contracting and opens the project to buyers of moderate liquidity.
The Selection apartments, from 110 to 129 m² priced at 8.7 to 10 million, target the first-time home buyer in the Fifth Settlement or the investor after an easy-to-lease unit near the universities. Townhouses and sky villas from 205 to 310 m² suit the medium-to-large family seeking real living space without the full cost of a standalone villa. The standalone villas in Prive Island from 253 to 472 m² priced at 31 to 54 million target the upper segment after full privacy, a premium architectural build and a fully finished handover with air-conditioning. For the rental investor, the closeness to AUC and GUC creates a potential lease market of postgraduate students and foreign academics, especially in the smaller Selection units.
The risk a buyer should factor in is timing. The Selection delivery is stated at 4 years, so rental income will not begin before 2030 for a buyer today, and the buyer pays installments through that window without income from the unit. The remedy is to calculate the cash flow across the delivery years rather than on expected rental yield alone. This analysis is for guidance only and is not investment advice. Any purchase or investment decision needs a site viewing, a review of the sales contract and its delivery clauses, and an assessment of the buyer’s own financial position with a specialised advisor.
