Request a call

Madinet Masr's Etaj Taj City is the last residential phase in Taj City, New Cairo: studios and apartments in low-rise buildings around a green walkway.

The Etaj project is built on 26.4 feddans and includes more than 600 residential units spread across 20 buildings, each consisting of a ground floor and 5 typical floors.

Unit sizes start at 37 m² for studios and reach about 132 or 133 m² for the larger apartments. The options include apartments from 1 to 3 bedrooms, as well as ground-floor units with private gardens.

The Etaj Taj City phase benefits from being inside the Taj City community, which has existing or planned educational, sports and commercial facilities, all provided at the level of the parent project.

About the Etaj Taj City project

Etaj (Étaje) is a new residential project within the Taj City master plan, developed by Madinet Masr on the last plot of land allocated to the project's residential phases. This means the phase comes after a large number of residential communities have already been built and launched inside Taj City, and it benefits from the network of roads, utilities and services developed over the past years.

The Etaj project targets contract sales of around EGP 6.6 billion, and Madinet Masr plans to complete its construction works within 4 years. The project includes about 600 units, making it a self-contained residential community inside Taj City, while remaining connected to the services, entrances and facilities of the larger project.

The project is known by several search terms and phrasings, including:

Etaj Taj City.
Etaj compound New Cairo.
Etaj project Madinet Masr.
Etaj Taj City apartments.
Etaj Taj City.
Étaje Taj City New Cairo.
Etaj 5th Settlement.
The last phase in Taj City.

Etaj differs from the Tajed commercial project: Etaj is a residential phase of studios and apartments, while Tajed is a separate commercial and administrative area inside Taj City.

Location of Etaj inside Taj City, New Cairo

The Etaj phase is located close to the Ring Road within the Taj City master plan. The area is easy to reach from Nasr City, Heliopolis and New Cairo, and it is linked to the Cairo–Suez Road and a number of axes leading to Madinaty, Shorouk and the New Administrative Capital.

Etaj is located opposite the JW Marriott hotel, about 7 minutes from Cairo Festival City and about 15 minutes from Cairo International Airport.

The most important roads and areas near the project include:

The Ring Road: one of the main axes for reaching Taj City from Nasr City, Heliopolis, Maadi and the districts of Greater Cairo.
Cairo–Suez Road: connects the project to Madinaty, Shorouk, Mostakbal City and the Administrative Capital, and also makes access easy from Heliopolis and the areas of east Cairo.
JW Marriott hotel: the Etaj project sits opposite it, and it is a clear landmark that helps you find the phase.
Cairo Festival City: reachable in about 7 minutes, placing residents close to a major center for shopping, dining and entertainment.
Cairo International Airport: about 15 minutes away in suitable traffic conditions, which serves business owners and frequent travelers.
Nasr City and Heliopolis: Etaj residents benefit from Taj City's proximity to both areas, compared with projects in the farther extensions of New Cairo.
90th Street: reachable via the roads that connect Taj City to the districts of New Cairo and the 5th Settlement.

The phase's proximity to these locations does not mean they are all inside Etaj; they are surrounding landmarks and roads that help you reach the project, while the phase's boundaries remain dedicated to the residential buildings and their related open spaces.

Area of Etaj Taj City

The Etaj project covers 26.4 feddans, or about 25 feddans, which is the area of the last residential phase inside Taj City.

The area is allocated for:

20 residential buildings.
More than 600 units.
A 450-meter green walkway.
Gardens and open areas.
Water features and water bodies.
Pedestrian paths.
Cycling tracks.
Roads and entrances serving the buildings.
Linking areas between the residential clusters.

The plan relies on leaving open spaces between the buildings instead of using the entire land for built blocks. The green walkway also links the parts of the phase and gives residents a route for movement and strolling relatively away from cars.

The master plan of Etaj Taj City

Etaj Taj City consists of 20 buildings with a ground floor and 5 typical floors. The buildings are relatively low compared with towers, which helps maintain a direct relationship between the apartments and the surrounding gardens.

The buildings are arranged around the green spaces and water features, with units oriented toward open views wherever the building's position allows. Pedestrian paths also link the residential clusters, allowing you to move around the phase without relying on the car for every short trip.

The master plan includes elements specific to Etaj itself:

The green walkway: extends 450 meters and serves as the main route linking the parts of the project.
Planted areas: surround the buildings and form part of the direct views of a number of units.
Water features: used in landscaping the outdoor spaces and appear in front of some buildings.
Cycling tracks: allow activity and getting around the phase on dedicated tracks.
Pedestrian paths: link the buildings and open areas, and help separate residents' movement from cars.
Links between residential clusters: make it easier to move between groups of buildings and keep each building from being isolated from the rest of the project.

Building design at Etaj Madinet Masr

The Etaj buildings are based on a ground floor plus 5 typical floors, with modern facades that suit the architectural character of the Taj City phases. The designs aim to provide practical small and medium-sized units, making the most of the interior space and minimizing unused areas.

Balconies and windows face the gardens, paths or water features depending on the unit's location. The low height of the buildings also reduces the number of apartments sharing entrances and elevators compared with high-rise tower projects.

The interior layouts vary by unit type:

The studio is built around a combined living and sleeping area.
The one-bedroom apartment separates the bedroom from the reception area.
The two-bedroom apartment provides a suitable space for a small family.
The 3-bedroom apartment suits a family that needs bedrooms and a larger reception area.
The ground-floor apartment adds a private garden to the interior space.

Studios for sale in Etaj Taj City

Studio sizes at Etaj start from 37 m². The studio offers a compact living space with a sleeping and living area, a kitchen and a bathroom, making it suitable for one person or a couple at the start of family life.

The studio is the smallest unit in the project, and it suits anyone looking for a practical unit near Nasr City, Heliopolis and the business hubs of New Cairo. It is also suitable for investment and rental.

Buyers compare Etaj studios based on:

The net area of the unit.
The position of the kitchen and bathroom.
The direction of the window or balcony.
The studio's location within the building.
The view over the garden or path.
The space available for furniture.
Whether there is suitable storage space.
The finishing level at delivery.

One-bedroom apartments for sale in Etaj

Some of the model apartments at Etaj start from about 51 m², and the models include units with one bedroom. This category offers more privacy than the studio because it separates the bedroom from the reception and living area.

One-bedroom apartments suit individuals, couples and small families, and can also be used as a place to stay near workplaces in east Cairo. The layout varies from one model to another, and the sizes of the bedroom, reception and balcony differ between models.

Two-bedroom apartments for sale in Etaj New Cairo

Two-bedroom apartments offer a middle ground between small spaces and larger family apartments. The unit includes two bedrooms, a reception area, a kitchen and one or more bathrooms according to the plan.

These units suit a small family that needs a room for the children or a home office. The project's location inside Taj City also places residents near the existing or planned educational, sports and commercial facilities in the larger community.

The layouts vary within similar sizes, so a single area may come in two different layouts, giving buyers a wider choice.

3-bedroom apartments for sale in Etaj Taj City

The larger units at Etaj reach about 132 or 133 m², and include apartments with 3 bedrooms. This category offers a larger reception area and a suitable number of bedrooms for families.

The number of bathrooms and the layouts differ by model, and some units have up to 3 bathrooms, with the size of each room and the position of the master bedroom, balcony and kitchen varying from one model to another.

Apartments with gardens for sale in Etaj Taj City

The project offers ground-floor apartments with private gardens, with built-up areas for these units ranging from about 109 to 132 m². The number of bedrooms varies from one unit to another, and the garden size differs according to the location of the apartment and the building.

Ground-floor apartments suit families who want a private outdoor space without moving to a standalone villa. The garden can be used for sitting, for children's play or for landscaping a small green area, in line with the project management's rules.

Garden apartments at Etaj differ from one unit to another in:

The built-up area of the apartment.
The area of the private garden.
