Project Overview
Powered by Arabella, Enawalks is the exciting new commercial spot coming to New Cairo, designed to offer something for everyone. It’s set to become a go-to destination that combines work, leisure, and convenience all in one place.
Enawalks will feature a mix of cafes and restaurants, perfect for grabbing a bite, meeting friends, or just relaxing. On top of that, it’ll have administrative offices, making it easy for professionals to get their work done in a modern, accessible space. In addition to that, a group of medical clinics will be included in the diverse spaces in Ena Walks.
What makes Enawalks stand out is its ability to combine all these different services in one place, giving people the chance to handle errands, work, and even unwind all in the same spot. Whether you’re grabbing lunch, catching up on work, or taking care of your health, everything you need will be right there. The whole concept is about making life easier and more enjoyable—no need to run around town when everything’s in one place.
