Maadi real estate is among the most established segments of Egypt's property market. Founded in 1904 by the Egyptian Delta Land Company on the east bank of the Nile, the district has kept its calm, upscale character for more than a century. Drawing on our day-to-day work inspecting units and closing deals here, this guide offers a grounded, hype-free picture to help you decide with confidence.
The district is defined by wide, tree-shaded streets and low urban density that grant rare privacy in the capital. Three stations on Metro Line 1 Thakanat El Maadi, El Maadi, and Hadayek El Maadi serve it, and part of it overlooks the Nile Corniche. Institutions such as Cairo American College (CAC) and the Maadi Sporting Club reinforce its appeal, one reason expatriates and families have settled here for generations.
The following figures are based on recently updated indicators and are approximate estimates that may change from month to month.
Sarayat El Maadi and Degla: The upscale heart of Maadi, with property prices averaging approximately EGP 25,000 to EGP 500,000+ per square metre, depending on the property type and location.
Old Maadi: Known for its historic villas and timeless character, with premium residential units reaching approximately EGP 150,000 to EGP 500,000+ per square metre in the most sought-after locations.
At the unit level, listed prices span roughly EGP 450,000 for compact apartments to more than EGP 11 million for villas and penthouses. Listed prices also climbed by over 33% in the past year, a sign of firm demand and limited premium supply.
From experience, not every deal is a good one. When evaluating Maadi real estate, remember that some older buildings need costly renovation, main axes see rush-hour congestion, and prices vary sharply between listings. We always advise an on-site inspection and document checks before paying any deposit.
The strength of Maadi real estate lies in resilient rental demand: expatriates, international schools, and corporate offices sustain high occupancy and attractive yields year-round. As appreciation accelerates, buying early becomes decisive for maximizing returns, especially in supply-constrained pockets such as Sarayat and Old Maadi.
Verify the legal status and permits, compare several offers, assess proximity to metro and services, and inspect finishing quality and building condition. A trusted advisor saves time and shields you from undocumented deals.

Yes - Maadi is considered one of the more resilient segments of Cairo's property market. Its strength lies in steady rental demand from expatriates, international schools, and corporate offices, which sustains high occupancy and attractive yields year-round. Listed prices have also risen over 33% in the past year, reflecting firm demand against limited premium supply. Supply-constrained pockets like Sarayat and Old Maadi are where buying early matters most for maximizing returns. That said, not every deal is a good one: some older buildings need costly renovation and prices vary sharply between listings, so an on-site inspection and full document checks before paying any deposit are essential.
