By Eman Hamed

 District 5, MARAKEZ’s signature project in East Cairo, welcomes two of the most renowned restaurateurs in Egypt, Alia Helmy and Omar Fathy, who will establish their 2,000+ sqm flagship Eatery, and World of Food store there. 

“Successful developments connect people and places—physically and socially—by creating memorable, enduring experiences and this is what we foresee at District 5 (D5). MARAKEZ takes commercial projects to the next level,” said Omar Fathy, co-founder of Eatery.

“D5 is a walkable destination encompassing a 240,000 sqm office park and 100,000 sqm retail, F&B and entertainment venue, setting the benchmark for mixed-use developments in Egypt,” said Ashraf Maklad, CMO, MARAKEZ. 

“We’re excited to expand Eatery and bring our flare to D5, an all-encompassing destination that truly is the first-of-its-kind in Egypt,” said Alia Helmy, co-founder of Eatery. “New Cairo residents have expressed great interest in our offerings and we’re eager to finally make our cuisine and World of Food store more readily available to that community.”

District 5 is MARAKEZ latest development in Egypt. D5 includes D5M, the first mall in New Katameya spread on 100,000 sqm with 60,000 Gross Leasable Area (GLA) as well as a 240,000 sqm office park, Mindhaus, with thoughtful spaces for community engagement. It fuses a walkable lifestyle element with its exclusive 1,800 residential units at District Five Residences that are adjacent to the commercial destination.
