Where is the First Settlement and what does it mean for moving?

The First Settlement is one of the first areas built in New Cairo and lies east of the Ring Road. Reaching it from Nasr City, Maadi and the rest of Cairo usually means the Ring Road and the main axes, and the trip is affected by traffic depending on the hour and day. It is a residential area with villas, apartment buildings and compounds, so the moving plan differs from one address to another.

Start with the compound or building management

Before choosing the date, ask the compound management or the building doorman about:

  • Is an entry permit needed for the truck and workers? Which papers are required, and are they handed in a day ahead?
  • Which days and hours is moving allowed?
  • What is the largest truck that can enter the internal streets?
  • Is there a service elevator you can book?

Tell us what you know so we can set the truck size, the number of workers and the arrival time to fit the rules. The guide on moving permits, building management and the elevator has more questions to ask.

Villas and apartments: two different plans

A multi-floor villa needs more workers and more time for dismantling, wrapping and loading room by room; see the villa moving guide. For an apartment, what matters most is the floor, the elevator and the width of the entrance. Send us the number of rooms, the floor and photos of large pieces so we can estimate the time accurately.

Choosing the date

The Ring Road and the axes leading to New Cairo get crowded at peak hours and on holidays, so choose an early morning in mid-week if you can, and book early enough to arrange the permit. See also the best time to move furniture.

First or Fifth Settlement? Send the map location

People use the names of settlements and districts in different ways, and an address described as First Settlement may be placed in another district, or the other way round. So send us the address location on Google Maps with the compound or street name and building number, and we will calculate the distance and arrival time accurately. If your address is in the Fifth Settlement, read the Fifth Settlement moving guide.

Where do we move?

We move within the First Settlement, and to and from the rest of New Cairo, Rehab, Madinaty, Nasr City, Maadi, Giza, the new cities and the governorates. Area details are on the Fifth Settlement and New Cairo page.

Moving day checklist

  1. Confirm the entry permit and the hours moving is allowed.
  2. Book the service elevator if there is one.
  3. Send the exact address location on WhatsApp.
  4. Prepare numbered boxes and write the room name on each piece.
  5. Photograph the condition of important pieces before loading.

FAQ

Do I need a permit to move inside the First Settlement?

It depends on the place: many compounds ask for prior permission for the truck and workers to enter, while some standalone buildings ask for nothing. Ask the management and tell us the rules so we can set the arrival time.

Do you move multi-floor villas?

Yes, we dismantle and wrap large pieces and load in room order. Send the number of rooms and floors and photos of large pieces so we can set the number of workers.

Do you move from the First Settlement to outside Cairo?

Yes, to all cities and governorates. Tell us the destination, the floor and whether there is an elevator so we can set the price.

How much do moving prices start from in the First Settlement?

Prices start from EGP 1,200, and the final price is set after inspection based on the size, the floor, the distance and extra services.
