Furniture Moving in Katameya: Compounds, Villas and Moving-Day Preparation
Katameya is an area in east New Cairo near the Ring Road and the Ain Sokhna road, where housing is mostly villas inside compounds. What matters most for a move here is the entry permit, the truck size and loading room by room.

Where is Katameya and what does it mean for moving?
Katameya lies in east New Cairo near the Ring Road and the Ain Sokhna road. Reaching it from Maadi, Helwan and Nasr City usually means the Ring Road or the axes leading to it, so the trip is affected by traffic depending on the hour and day. It has compounds and spacious villas, so a move differs from moving a small apartment.
Compounds: the permit and the date
Before choosing the date, ask the compound management about:
- The entry permit for the truck and workers, and whether it is handed in before the date.
- The days and hours when moving is allowed.
- The largest truck that can enter the internal streets.
- Any fee or deposit for a move.
- Whether a crane can enter, if needed.
Then tell us what you found so we can set the arrival time. For more, see moving permits, building management and the elevator.
Large villas and gardens
A large villa means many pieces, several floors, long corridors and possibly garden furniture. Send us the number of rooms and floors and photos of large pieces, entrances and stairs so we can set the number of workers and the dismantling and wrapping. The full planning is in the villa moving guide.
Large furniture and appliances
Living room sets, large wardrobes and spacious bedroom sets need dismantling and wrapping before loading, and floors and internal stairs may need protection. If you have air conditioners, water heaters or chandeliers, mention them so we dismantle and install them; see moving appliances and air conditioners.
Choosing the date
Choose an early weekday morning if you can to avoid Ring Road traffic, book early enough for the permit to be prepared, and see the best time to move.
Where do we move?
We move within Katameya, and to and from the Fifth and First Settlements, Rehab, Madinaty, Nasr City, Maadi, Giza, the New Administrative Capital and the other governorates. Details of the neighbouring area are on the New Cairo moving page.
Moving-day checklist
- Confirm the entry permit and the hours moving is allowed.
- Send the exact address location on WhatsApp.
- Prepare numbered boxes and write the room name on each piece.
- Clean and dry outdoor furniture before loading.
- Photograph the condition of important pieces before loading.
