Before you buy: Know the advantages and disadvantages of Bait ElWatin area in New Cairo… And is investing in it profitable?

In 2012, the first phase of one of the most important areas in Egypt was launched: Bait ElWatin (New Cairo), mainly designed as an investment and residential area for Egyptian expatriates, but it is generally available to all Egyptians.

 It is called the “Golden Square” because it is surrounded by the most luxurious and largest residential complexes. In this article, you will learn everything about it, including its location, layout, advantages, disadvantages, and whether investing in it is guaranteed and profitable.

(Location)

Bait ElWatin is located in the eastern extension of Greater Cairo and has more than one entrance:

In the north: El-Shorouk City, Al-Rehab City, and the Cairo-Suez Road, which is one of the most important roads in Egypt due to its width and connection between all the cities in eastern Cairo.

In the south: the Southern 90th Street and the Mohamed Bin Zayed Axis, which is one of the most important axes that connects New Cairo and the Administrative Capital.

In the east: The Middle Ring Road, which connects New Cairo, the Administrative Capital, Future City, Madinaty, El-Shorouk, and Al-Obour, in addition to the New Administrative Capital.

 As a result, Bait ElWatin benefits from its services and has a significant position as the new entrance to New Cairo.

In the west: The Lotus area, the Northern 90th Street, and the Clubs area.

Additionally, it is only 30 minutes away from Cairo International Airport, which is an important point for you if you travel outside Egypt frequently.

(The area and interior layout of Beit Al Watan)

It is located on an area of 5500 acres and contains more than 16,000 residential units. The area is divided into 50% for construction and 50% for green spaces, ensuring peace, privacy, and clean air, and the building regulations make the residential projects similar to villas.

 They consist of a ground floor with a private garden and three repeated floors, meaning that the number of apartments is small, the space between residential units is wide, and there is no population density or traffic congestion.

The area consists of 8 neighborhoods separated by a large service area called “View Zone.” The first area includes individual neighborhoods (1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th), and the second area includes paired neighborhoods (2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th). 

“View Zone” is a green space that includes service and recreational areas, schools, clubs, and commercial complexes. Beit Al Watan is planned professionally, with each neighborhood overlooking the “View Zone,” providing easy access to all its services.

Beit Al Watan extends to include two additional areas: South Suez (Supplementary) and the North House, which is located in the first neighborhood.

Its drawbacks are:

It is unsuitable for immediate housing because most of the area is still under construction, but it is very suitable for investment.

It has rocky areas and low-lying areas, and you need to know exactly what type of area you are buying in. If it’s rocky, the problem is that it will take a long time to dig because the soil needs to be prepared for housing. If it’s low-lying, the problem is water accumulation, which may make it difficult to drain, so you need to make sure that the area allows water to flow quickly.

Its advantages are:

1- Due to its strategic location, it is easy to reach and from it, ensuring that you will not get lost or waste time on the road.

2-The infrastructure and facilities are of the highest quality, with an 80% completion rate, including:

A completely new electricity network.

A large rainwater drainage network.

Fiber-optic cables for the internet and landline phones.

A complete and integrated transportation network, the most prominent of which is the monorail train that includes 22 stations, starting from the Stadium Station in the heart of Nasr City to the Administrative Capital.

3- It is a highly vibrant area because it overlooks the club’s area, including Al-Ahly Club, Police Club, Al-Jazeera Club, Hunting Club, Wadi Degla Club, Platinum Club, Banque Misr Club, and Royal Sporting Club.

4- It is distinguished by its educational services because it is close to Egyptian and international schools and universities, such as Al Yaser School, Green Heights School, Canadian School, French School, German School, Egyptian Language School, American University, German University, Canadian University, Police Academy, Future University, and British University.

5- There are many commercial malls such as Cairo Festival, Point 90, Park Mall, Galleria Mall, and Spot Mall.


Is investing in the Beit Al Watan area guaranteed and profitable?

The strategic location and advantages, in addition to being a government direction, all prove that the return on investment is guaranteed. This is further confirmed by the history of the area, as in 2012 the price per square meter was between 4,000 to 4,500 EGP, and at that time there was a high demand for the area. 

In early 2018, due to the development of the city and the infrastructure, the price per square meter increased by 25%. In 2022, the price per square meter increased by another 25%. Therefore, if you invest your money in Beit Al Watan, you will preserve its value and increase it without being affected by inflation.

There is a rule of safety in investment that says “Don’t be the first or the last.” At the beginning, there is a risk percentage, and at the end, many people have already invested, so they may miss a good investment opportunity and not earn a high return.

 The best stage is always the middle stage, and fortunately, Beit Al Watan is in that stage now. Some people have already bought in 2012, took a risk, and made a profit. If you want to take advantage of this suitable period and invest your money and learn more details about Beit Al Watan, please leave us your information and we will be with you step by step.

The most important and famous 3 types of investments to preserve your money from inflation.

Investment is a fundamental element in securing your financial future and achieving your long-term goals. In the previous article, we discussed the difference between investment and saving in general, and how to balance them to preserve your money. In this article, we will focus on types of investment because they are numerous and diverse, and each choice has advantages and disadvantages. We will help you understand more about the most important and popular investment methods.

A- The Stock Market:

Simply put, it is a market where the seller and the buyer meet, but it is not a market for goods, rather it is a market for securities such as stocks, bonds, and investment funds.

1- Stocks:

Suppose there is a company that wants to increase its capital or expand further. It can do something called an “Initial Public Offering” (IPO), which means that the company is listed on the stock market, and therefore anyone can buy a part of this company. You can become a buyer and own a share. As the company makes a profit, you will have a percentage of the profits since you are a shareholder. As the value of the company grows, the price of your share increases, and you can benefit from it by selling it.

Advantages of investing in stocks:

  • It helps combat inflation because you are putting your money into a valuable financial asset that grows over time.
  • It is easy to buy and sell, thus providing you with financial liquidity.
  • As the economy grows, your investment grows.

Disadvantages of investing in stocks:

  • The stock market is always volatile and risky, so the value of your shares can decrease significantly and unexpectedly, causing you to lose all your money. Therefore, there is no guarantee of return on your investment (you are a partner in profit and loss).
  • You need much experience and knowledge of the stock market, financial data, market trends, company performance, economic conditions, and political events.
  • There are fees and currencies on your returns.

2- Bonds.


If a government or company wants to fund a specific project and needs money, but doesn’t want a partnership like stocks, they issue bonds. With bonds, you lend the company a certain amount for an agreed-upon period, and in return, you receive periodic interest in the form of coupons. At the end of the period, you receive the full amount you initially invested.

Advantages of bonds:

  • They provide a fixed income through periodic interest.
  • Their risks are lower than stocks.

Disadvantages of bonds:

  • The return is low because there is no risk (as a general rule, the higher the risk, the higher the return).
  • The value of your investment may decrease due to inflation since your money is tied up for a specific period.

3- Mutual Funds (found in the stock market and banks): 

If you want to invest in bonds or stocks but don’t have the expertise or time, and you also want to guarantee your money in certificates or bank deposits, then mutual funds are the solution. They are a fund with money from a large number of investors, managed by experts on your behalf. They have a strategy to achieve profits, and the fund invests in multiple financial instruments, such as stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, or a combination of these based on the fund’s type and direction. They provide periodic or cumulative returns.

Advantages of mutual funds:

  • You can withdraw your money at any time without penalty, unlike certificates.
  • Professionals with expertise manage your investment, so you don’t have to spend time or effort tracking it.
  • Diversification and investment in multiple things at the same time.

Disadvantages of mutual funds:

  • They have administrative fees and expenses, which are deducted from your investment, whether the fund makes a profit or not, reducing your return rate.
  • The profits are not fixed or guaranteed.

B – Real Estate.

It is one of the safest commodities at any time and in any place because the need for housing is always a priority for human needs. This means that when you invest in real estate, you ensure that you will achieve a high return because it is a permanent investment as long as there are people. The real estate market is one of the markets that is characterized by its growth, especially in Egypt. According to a report by the global real estate consulting company, Knight Frank, “Real estate prices in Egypt rose by 7.5% in 2020, making it one of the fastest-growing real estate markets in the world.”

Advantages:

  • It provides a steady and continuous income if you buy a property and rent it out.
  • Its value increases over time, which means that you can earn more money if you decide to sell it.
  • It is one of the investments that preserve your money and face inflation to a great extent.
  • You have complete control over your investment, unlike stocks and funds.
  • There is no risk involved.
  • It is a tangible asset and easy to deal with even without much experience.
  • It is a permanent and continuous investment for you and your family.
  • There is great diversity in the real estate market so that you can invest in residential, commercial, medical, or industrial units.

Disadvantages:

  • Unlike stocks, you cannot sell a part of it if you need some money.
  • It requires effort to manage the property, collect rent, and maintain it.
  • If you choose a property in an unremarkable location or one with many problems, it will be difficult, effortful, and time-consuming to sell it later on.


C- Gold.


It is one of the precious metals, known for its importance since ancient times. It is a store of value, which is why it is used for investment purposes.

Advantages:

  • A physical asset that can be stored, unlike stocks and bonds.
  • A haven asset, as it tends to retain its value.
  • One of the most widely demanded financial assets globally. The global demand for gold in 2021 was more than 815 tons.
  • Its market trends and future prices can be easily identified, as it is linked to the price of the dollar.

Disadvantages:

  • It does not generate any continuous cash flow like interest and profits from certificates and stocks. You buy it and wait for the price to rise before selling it and making a profit from the price difference.
  • It is greatly affected by political situations, causing significant fluctuations in its prices.
  • If you store gold in a bank vault, for example, you will incur storage and insurance fees.
  • You may face difficulty selling it.

There are many types of investments, each with its advantages and disadvantages. It is natural to be unsure of the best decision to make and which one will help you invest your money properly and earn more. However, real estate investment remains the safest and most profitable investment, and your money will increase year after year, as real estate prices always experience continuous growth due to high demand. This is according to a report issued by “Knight Frank” a real estate company, which stated that real estate prices in Egypt have been rising since 2020, with apartment prices increasing by 14%, villas by 8%, and lands by 20%. Therefore, economic experts always advise investing in real estate because it protects your money and provides high returns in the short and long term. In the next article, we will provide more information about investing in real estate, as well as tips for investors who want to start and succeed in this field. Stay tuned.
