Nasr City (Madinet Nasr) is one of Cairo's largest and most established urban districts, located in the east of the capital. Planned and developed from the late 1950s as a modern extension of the city, it has grown into a dense, fully serviced residential and commercial hub that is home to roughly half a million residents. Today it is known for its wide boulevards, busy retail streets, government and military institutions, sporting landmarks, and one of the biggest shopping-and-entertainment complexes in the Middle East — City Stars.
For property buyers and renters, Nasr City offers a practical, central alternative to Cairo's newer eastern suburbs. Its appeal lies in a mature mix of mid-rise apartment buildings, well-known commercial streets, and strong everyday infrastructure — schools, universities, hospitals, malls and transport — all within an already-built, walkable district. On Regypt, the average property price in Nasr City is around EGP 9.1 million, reflecting the area's larger family apartments and prime commercial units.
Nasr City sits in eastern Cairo, bordered by Heliopolis (Masr El Gedida) to the north, the Autostrad and Mokattam area to the south, central Cairo to the west, and the desert edge and New Cairo expansion to the east. Its position places it between the historic core of Cairo and the modern eastern suburbs, making it a natural bridge district. Crucially, Nasr City is very close to Cairo International Airport and is wrapped by major arteries — the Ring Road, Salah Salem and the Autostrad — that connect it quickly to almost every part of Greater Cairo. This central-east location is one of the district's strongest long-term value drivers.
