Read the city before you buy into it. This guide lists more than 1,300 service entries in Obour — pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, schools, restaurants, shopping, and home services — with names, addresses, phones, and sources. Alongside them: districts, prices, developers, and everything you need before making a decision.
City snapshot
New Obour is a planned city under the New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA). It was established by presidential decree in 2016. Published planning data points to a total area of roughly 59,000 feddans and a built-up mass of about 22,000 feddans. The practical importance of these numbers is not their size alone, but the difference in service maturity between districts.
- ~59,000 feddans · total planned area
- ~22,000 feddans · built-up mass
- 2016 · city establishment decree
The large planning number is not a guarantee that services are complete at every point. Some areas are closer to established living patterns; others are expansion zones tied to a utilities and delivery schedule. Understand the difference between Obour and New Obour →
How to read the map
There is no "best district" without knowing your goal. In a city growing in phases, the decision to move now is different from the decision to buy early. This is a starting map to narrow your search, then visit the site and the documents.
Land or early purchase
Long-term residence or medium-horizon investment
Quieter living with larger spaces
Faster move-in and practical living
Field inspection cannot be replaced by a photo or map. Visit in the evening, on a workday, and during rush hour. Check paving, lighting, water, electricity, daily shops, and neighboring uses.
What to verify before you decide
Every entry in this guide is built on a published source you can check yourself: official websites, announced business pages, and government data. We do not publish a number or address we cannot attribute, and we mark the limits of information when it is incomplete instead of filling the gap with claims.
- Check the exact location inside the district, not just the district name in the ad.
- Test the commute time in real traffic, not on a map.
- Ask for land allocation, license, master plan, and written obligations.
- Compare total cost, not just price per square meter.
- Visit a delivered project by the same developer before you commit.
Five questions that protect your decision
- Is the project deliverable? Can you visit it today?
- Who manages after delivery, and with what experience?
- Is construction funding visible and verifiable?
- Does the contract detail specifications and costs?
- What is the build ratio, height, and space quality?
Standards and transparency
This guide applies the same verification standards to everyone without exception, including the developers, businesses and schools listed in the directory. Listings, rankings and editorial coverage are never sold, and no entry receives preferential placement in exchange for payment. Read the disclosure page (Arabic) →
