6th of October City

6th of October City | Life Meets Business

A New Chapter of Living in Egypt

6th of October City, alongside its sister destination El Sheikh Zayed City, has long been considered one of the crown jewels of modern urban planning in Egypt. Stretching over an impressive 119,200 acres, it blends expansive neighborhoods with vibrant business hubs, luxury compounds like O West Orascom and Badya Palm Hills, and cultural landmarks that elevate everyday life. Unlike the crowded heart of Cairo, 6th of October was designed to breathe — wide boulevards, green corridors, and open skies invite families, professionals, and dreamers to find balance.

When you walk through the city, you notice the difference immediately: less noise, more space, and an aura of calm sophistication. It feels like Cairo, reimagined — familiar in its energy, but softened and refined, like a modern masterpiece drawn on a broader canvas.

The Masterplan: A City of Scale and Vision

At its heart, 6th of October is a city of balance. Of its 119,200 acres, nearly 69,000 acres are already dedicated to residential, commercial, industrial, tourist, and recreational functions. The remaining space flows into lush greenery, landscaped open spaces, and thoughtful infrastructure.

The urban design embraces a zoning philosophy where industrial districts sit alongside IT hubs like Smart Village, while education clusters house seven major universities and a constellation of international schools. Residential districts are framed by wide streets and planned gardens, while recreational zones burst with life in parks, malls, and entertainment venues.

It’s a city that respects both ambition and leisure. You can spend a morning in a bustling business hub, enjoy an afternoon with your children in Dream Park, and return to an elegant compound like Swan Lake West or Palm Hills Golf Views, where tranquility is woven into the masterplan.

Strategic Location: Close Yet Apart

Location has always been destiny, and 6th of October City enjoys one of the most enviable positions in Greater Cairo. Situated on the west bank of the Nile in Giza Governorate, it is close enough to Cairo’s pulse yet far enough to escape its rush.

Key distances reveal its connectivity:

• 16 km from El Sheikh Zayed City, its closest companion.
• 17 km from the timeless Pyramids of Giza.
• 32 km from Downtown Cairo, a comfortable drive via the 26th of July Corridor.
• 64 km from New Cairo City.
• 71 km from the New Administrative Capital.
• 72 km from Cairo International Airport.

This connectivity is underpinned by a strong network of arterial roads — Cairo–Alexandria Desert Road, El Wahat Road, Waslet Dahshur, and the Regional Ring Road all thread through the city’s fabric. Soon, a monorail line will further integrate October with Cairo Metro Line 3, binding Giza, Sheikh Zayed, and the city’s expansions into a seamless commute.

Everyday Facilities and World-Class Amenities

6th of October is more than a residential address — it is a fully integrated city. Here, life unfolds with the ease of convenience and the richness of choice.

• Shopping & Leisure: Mall of Arabia and Mall of Egypt headline a long list of retail destinations, offering everything from luxury brands to family-friendly dining. Weekend outings spill into Dandy Mall, Infinity Mall, and Downtown Mall, where entertainment meets shopping.
• Healthcare: Residents enjoy peace of mind with world-class hospitals like Dar Al Fouad, Al Safwa, and Cure Hospital, each delivering medical excellence at international standards.
• Education: With institutions like Misr University for Science & Technology (MUST), MSA University, and New Giza University, alongside international schools such as Choueifat and American International School, 6th of October is as much an education hub as it is a residential haven.
• Sports & Clubs: Life here leans active, with Wadi Degla Club, Al Ahly Club, and Palm Hills October Club offering spaces for football, tennis, and fitness — ensuring wellness is built into the city’s rhythm.
• Entertainment & Hospitality: Whether it’s family fun at Dream Park and Ski Egypt, relaxation at Mövenpick Hotel or Swiss Inn Pyramids Golf Resort, or an adrenaline rush at Crazy Water Park, October never runs short on lifestyle options.

Community Spirit

What sets 6th of October apart is the diversity of its neighborhoods. From the affluent streets of West Somid, where upscale villas are shaded by lush greenery, to the expansive October Gardens, stretching across 27,000 acres with a landscape of modern compounds, the city thrives on its variety.

Then comes New October, a bold fourth-generation extension spread over 60,000 acres. Here, futuristic planning introduces residential, commercial, and service projects designed for Egypt’s next wave of urban growth. Together, these districts form a mosaic of communities, each offering its own rhythm yet all connected by a shared sense of belonging.

Wellness by Design

Green space is not an afterthought here — it is the soul of the city. Compounds like The Crown dedicate half their land to landscaping, while Palm Hills Golf Views marries modern living with sweeping green fairways. Walking paths, jogging tracks, and shaded parks ensure that wellness is part of everyday life.

The air feels fresher, the streets calmer, and the neighborhoods safer. For families, this design philosophy translates into peace of mind; for professionals, it means balance after a long day. It’s the rare blend of urban convenience and suburban serenity.

Smart Living & Connectivity

From the planned monorail line to the city’s integration with Cairo’s major highways, 6th of October is a model of connectivity. Inside its compounds, smart living solutions flourish — sustainable designs in Badya Palm Hills, advanced security systems in O West, and eco-conscious planning in PX Palm Hills.

Here, technology and design converge to create communities that are future-ready, reducing commutes, lowering energy footprints, and making everyday life seamless.

Everyday Lifestyle

Perhaps what makes October truly magnetic is the lifestyle it curates. Mornings can start at Costa Café or Pottery Café, afternoons with children at Monkey Maze or Tiger Land, and evenings dining at Spectra or exploring Atrium Plaza. The rhythm is unhurried, filled with options yet never overwhelming.

It’s not just about where you live — it’s about how you live. And in October, life feels just a little lighter, a little freer, and endlessly inspiring.
