About Zed East Compound, 5th Settlement, by Ora Developers
Zed East Compound in the 5th Settlement offers the idea of a complete residential city inside New Cairo, bringing together apartments, townhouses, twin houses and standalone villas around a large sports club, artificial lakes and green spaces. The project is developed by Ora Developers, owned by businessman Naguib Sawiris, which makes Zed East one of Ora's flagship projects in East Cairo. It is launched in phases with names such as Lime Zed, Mint Zed, Parsley, Sage Zed, Club Residence and Zed Strip.
Zed East by Ora stands out for its scale and low building density: the project covers between 360 and 420 feddans, the sports club alone occupies about 42 feddans, and most of the land is set aside for gardens, water bodies and cycling paths. Planning was supervised by the consultancy WATG, which shows in the way residential clusters are laid out around open spaces instead of being packed together. The overall idea of Zed East by Ora comes through in the following elements:

- Zed East combines 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments and penthouses with townhouses, twin houses and standalone villas, so the choices stretch across more than one budget.
- Zed East Compound includes a sports club, swimming pools, a gym, children's areas, a commercial zone and clinics, so most day-to-day needs are met inside the walls.
- Payment at Zed East in the 5th Settlement starts with a 5% down payment, with instalments running up to 10 years.
- Unit delivery begins from 2028, within 3 to 4 years of contracting.
These features suit anyone looking for a permanent home with a quiet lifestyle close to the main roads, and anyone considering a unit on a long payment plan from a developer with a well-known name in the market. Prices start from about 5 million up to 14 million EGP depending on the unit type, the phase and the update date.
Zed East Compound sits at the end of 90th Street where it meets the Ring Road, close to the American University, Nasr City, Cairo Airport and the New Administrative Capital. The American University is about 5 to 10 minutes away, Nasr City about 10 minutes, and the airport and the Capital about 15 minutes, which are approximate times affected by traffic. This location makes Zed East New Cairo a good choice for anyone who works in East Cairo or the Administrative Capital and wants a more spacious, calmer residential setting than the crowded areas.
