How they structure payment
These are the distinct plan shapes published across Somabay compounds — the down payment, the instalment it implies and how long it runs.
| Down payment | Instalment from | Plan length | Compounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5%from 795K EGP | 447KQuarterly | 8 yrs | 9 |
Each row is one plan shape, not one unit: the down payment and instalment shown are the lowest on that shape across their compounds, and may come from different units. Ask for the schedule on the unit you want.

Delivery record
Handover across Somabay's tracked projects runs from 2026 to 2029, with 3 compounds ready or delivering this year. We record scheduled dates from current listings — always confirm the contractual date in your own agreement.
Where they sit in the market
At 212,621 EGP/m² they price about 114% above the national median of 99,207. That usually reflects where they build and at what specification rather than a premium for the name alone — compare them inside a single area before concluding they are expensive.
On unit mix they lean toward smaller units — 3 compounds list four bedrooms or more against 12 listing two or fewer.
Interest-free, as Egyptian developer plans are. Maintenance and club fees are separate and are not included here.
What to check before you commit
Confirm the plan in writing. Published down payments are often introductory and attached to specific units or phases. Get the schedule, the instalment amount and the frequency on the contract, not the brochure.
Ask what is separate. Maintenance, club membership and parking are usually charged on top and are not in any price on this page.
Check the delivery date contractually. A date in a listing is a plan; a date in a contract is an obligation. On off-plan stock this is the single most consequential line in the agreement.
Visit at the hour you would actually live it. Drive the commute at rush hour and walk the compound on a weekday evening. Both tell you more than any specification sheet.
