ORA Property Buying Guide

Step 1: Set Your Budget Ceiling

Use published price ranges as anchors. Studios in ZED East start near 9M EGP; premium Solana East villas exceed 120M EGP. Define your maximum all-in budget including down-payment and quarterly installments before browsing individual projects.

Step 2: Choose Your Location Corridor

Location drives both lifestyle and resale dynamics. Compare corridors before drilling into projects:

• East Cairo (ZED East, Solana East) — New Capital proximity, premium demand
• Sheikh Zayed (ZED West) — accessible West Cairo entry points
• New Zayed (Solana West) — expanding corridor, full unit spectrum
• North Coast (Silversands) — seasonal and coastal investment profile
• 6 October (Pyramid Hills) — villa-focused West Cairo alternative

Step 3: Match Unit Type to Household

Filter projects by the unit categories you actually need:

• Studios and 1BR — ZED East, ZED West (lowest entry)
• 2–3BR apartments — all four Cairo projects
• Townhouses and twin houses — ZED East, Solana East, Solana West
• Standalone villas — ZED East, Solana East, Solana West, Pyramid Hills
• Coastal chalets — Silversands only

Step 4: Compare Payment Plans Side by Side

Payment structure can matter as much as headline price:

• Most projects: 5% down + 5% after 3 months
• Installment duration: 6 to 10 years depending on project
• Villa plans often capped at 8 years
• Solana West includes 10% delivery payment
• Quarterly equal installments are standard
• Request updated plan for your specific phase
