AJAD Developments’ First Project in Egypt
Elaia is AJAD Developments’ first project in the Egyptian market and spans over 85 feddans in New Heliopolis along Suez Road in East Cairo.
Strategic Location
The project enjoys a strategic location in the heart of New Heliopolis, close to key areas and major axes in East Cairo. It is only minutes away from Cairo International Airport, Madinaty, Al Rehab, Heliopolis, Nasr City, and the New Administrative Capital, as well as major roads, transportation hubs, and modern mobility networks.
Fully Integrated Infrastructure
New Heliopolis is distinguished as a fully integrated city with comprehensive infrastructure, including water, natural gas, telecommunications, and high-speed internet networks. This provides advanced infrastructure that supports quality of life and the sustainability of the residential community.

Integration of Architecture, Nature, and Privacy
The master plan for Elaia is designed around the integration of architecture, nature, and privacy. Only around 16% of the project’s total land area is allocated to buildings, while the remaining 84% is dedicated to green and open spaces, services, amenities, and recreational facilities.
Green Parks
The project is surrounded by green parks on three sides, offering open views for a large number of units while enhancing the development’s green and nature-oriented character.
Independent Zones
The compound is divided into a series of independent zones, each with its own dedicated entrance gate, with residential units, services, and facilities thoughtfully distributed to ensure high levels of privacy and security while reducing density within each zone.
Diverse Residential Units
Elaia offers a diverse range of residential units designed to meet the needs of different customer segments, including apartments ranging from 72 to 170 sqm, as well as townhouses and standalone villas ranging from 150 to 260 sqm. The units feature distinctive architectural designs and views overlooking green and open spaces.
Services and Amenities
The project also offers a comprehensive range of services and amenities, including a dedicated clubhouse for each phase, swimming pools, artificial lakes, outdoor gyms, walking and cycling tracks, children’s areas and recreational activities, a smart access system, CCTV surveillance, and electric vehicle charging stations.
1,300-Meter Commercial Promenade
Elaia also features a 1,300-meter open-air commercial promenade offering a diverse mix of retail, administrative, and service activities, along with restaurants and cafés. The promenade is designed as an integrated shopping and entertainment destination serving both project residents and surrounding communities.
The Identity of “Elaia”
The name “Elaia” draws its identity from the olive tree, which symbolizes authenticity, roots, and continuity. This philosophy aligns with AJAD Developments’ vision of creating urban communities that grow steadily while preserving their value and quality for generations to come.
Expansion Strategy in the Egyptian Market
Elaia marks the beginning of AJAD Developments’ expansion strategy in the Egyptian market, which focuses on developing residential, tourism, commercial, and administrative projects.
Long-Term Investment Value
The company plans to collaborate with leading industry experts in design, supervision, and construction to deliver projects that meet competitive standards and offer long-term investment value.
