Cairo area guide
Al-Andalus
Area guide to housing, buying and investing in Al‑Andalus (New Cairo). Prices and on‑the‑ground details should be verified locally.
Al‑Andalus is a residential sector in the southern part of New Cairo, bordering the Fifth Settlement and the Middle Ring Road. The area is largely low‑rise (ground plus three floors) with a mix of completed and under‑development sectors, and it sits near the American University in Cairo and major road axes. It appeals to family housing and longer‑term buyers, though service levels and prices require local verification.
