Aura Cairo Festival City is made up of 14 six-storey residential buildings, offering fully finished 2- and 3-bedroom apartments along with penthouse units. Published sizes range from 130 to 260 m², and homes come with central air conditioning and smart-control systems.
Al-Futtaim sited Aura on a large corner plot inside Cairo Festival City, giving the buildings open frontages onto gardens and quiet internal roads. The phase suits anyone who wants a modern, ready apartment in New Cairo, with somewhat smaller sizes than some Festival Living units and without moving up to the cost of the Oriana villas.

Aura Residence layout
The phase includes 14 residential buildings, each six storeys high. The buildings are spread across an open plot surrounded by gardens, so many apartments look out over green space instead of facing a neighbouring building directly.
Movement inside Aura relies on internal roads and walkways linking the buildings to the entrances and car parks. The buildings also offer lifts, organised entrances and maintenance services, with shared areas serving residents.
A building's position within the phase affects an apartment's value; some units overlook the gardens, while others are closer to the entrances or the roads.

The developer of Aura
Al-Futtaim Real Estate built Aura as one of the residential phases in Cairo Festival City. The phase focused on fully finished smart apartments, adding a different product from the Oriana villas and the larger Festival Living units.
Aura residents benefit from Al-Futtaim being the developer of the residential neighbourhoods and the main commercial and business components, which ties the running of the buildings to the management of the city and its facilities.
