Where is the Fifth Settlement and what does that mean for your move?

The Fifth Settlement is in New Cairo, east of Cairo, and most people reach it via the Ring Road, 90th Street and the roads that lead to them. Journey time changes a lot with the hour and the day: rush hour and weekends can lengthen the trip from Nasr City, Maadi or Giza. So we agree loading and arrival times with you in advance rather than promising a fixed duration.

Pin down your district and street

People use many names for areas inside the Fifth Settlement, such as Al Andalus, Lotus, Narges, Beit Al Watan, Banafseg, Yasmin and the 90th Street area, and one address may be described under more than one name. Send us the address pin on Google Maps with the compound or street name, the building number and the floor, so we can work out the distance and arrival time and check whether the truck can reach the building entrance. If your address is in the First Settlement, see the First Settlement moving guide.

Towers, compounds and villas: a plan for each

Towers and modern buildings: what matters most is the service elevator and when it can be booked, protecting walls, floors and the lift, and knowing the width of entrances and corridors for large pieces.
Compounds: gates and management offices control entry for vehicles and workers, and may set days, hours and a maximum vehicle size.
Villas and standalone houses: multiple floors and large pieces need more time for dismantling, wrapping and loading room by room. See the villa moving guide.

Permits and the service elevator: ask before the date

Before fixing the date, ask the compound or tower management:

Is a permit needed for the truck and the workers? Which documents are required, and must they be submitted a day ahead?
On which days and at which hours is moving allowed?
What is the largest vehicle that can enter the internal streets?
Is there a service elevator? How is it booked, and are there fees or conditions?

Tell us what you learn so we can set the truck size, crew and arrival time to match. The guide to moving permits, building management and the elevator has more questions worth asking.

Choosing the date

Roads to the Fifth Settlement get busy at peak hours and on weekends, so choose an early weekday morning if you can, and book early enough to arrange the permit and the elevator. See also the best time to move furniture.

When do you need a crane?

In some towers and villas, large pieces will not fit in the lift or the stairwell, or there is no service elevator. In that case lifting the piece through the balcony with a crane may be the best option, and it needs to be arranged in advance. Send us photos of the pieces, the entrance and the balcony and we will tell you whether a crane is needed. Details are on the crane lifting page.

Where do we move?

We move within the Fifth Settlement and to and from the rest of New Cairo, the First and Third Settlements, Rehab, Madinaty, the New Administrative Capital, Nasr City, Maadi, Giza and the governorates. Area details are on the Fifth Settlement page, and the broader guide is furniture moving in New Cairo.

FAQ
