The Egyptian Ministry of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities will launch a new phase of housing units in the third and fifth residential areas of the New Capital City on Tuesday, October 6, 2026. This phase, referred to as the supplementary offer, is specifically for government employees who have relocated to the New Capital City and have previously paid a booking fee in the second phase but have not received a refund.

The booking process for these housing units will commence on Saturday, October 10, 2026. Eligible applicants can access the housing units through the digital Egypt platform. To apply, individuals must first create a personal account on the platform using their national ID, mobile phone number registered in their name, and their mother's name.

The application process involves several steps, including downloading and reviewing the terms and conditions document, which will be available on the digital Egypt platform starting October 6, 2026. Applicants must agree to the legal and financial acknowledgments before proceeding. On October 10, 2026, when the booking window opens, applicants can log in to select their preferred housing unit and confirm their booking.

The allocation of housing units will be based on a first-come, first-served online system. Once the booking is successful, applicants can print out a form detailing their unit preferences, which will be required for subsequent contract documentation. The target group for this offer includes government employees who have relocated to work in the New Capital City and have previously paid a booking fee in the second phase.

The need for a supplementary offer arose due to the high demand for housing units in the third residential area, which exceeded the available units, prompting the need for additional units in both the third and fifth residential areas. The Ministry aims to provide more housing options for eligible employees through this initiative.

The New Capital City project is a major development endeavor aimed at providing a new administrative and economic hub for Egypt. The project includes various residential areas, each designed to cater to different segments of the population, including government employees who are being relocated to the new city.

Key facilities and services are being developed in the New Capital City to support its residents, including housing, transportation, healthcare, and educational institutions. The allocation of housing units to government employees is a critical component of the project, aimed at facilitating the relocation process and ensuring that employees have suitable living arrangements.
